The best thing about a project management program is that
you can use the lesson you have learned on one specific portion of a business
and apply it to any other portion of the business, thus opening several job opportunities
for you. You can also use your basic PMP training as a stepping stone to
becoming a project manager.
Go over the tips below and learn how you can become a
project manager.
1. Enroll in a PMP
training program. Enrolling in a PMP training course is a great way of
expanding your job opportunities. It allows you to learn a portion of a
business - how products are manufactured, where they are sourced, how they are
developed and how they are sold. Some of
your local community colleges will offer PMP courses. Check one of the colleges
nearest you. You can also enroll on credited online colleges.
2. Prepare a PMP
resume. If you haven't got any PMP experience yet, include any school
project or volunteer experience in your resume like organizing a bake sale in
your neighborhood or being a scout leader. You may have to start as a PMP staff
before you can advance as a project manager.
3. Start joining
social or volunteer organizations. Offer to facilitate the next "run
for a cause" drive or the next fundraiser. This will help you gain
on-field experience on project management. Take note that you will be the one
facilitating the event so you will have to learn to delegate tasks to other
people. The job of a project manager is to see that a project gets done, not do
it.
4. Send your resume
to several companies. You might consider sending your resume to small
companies who may consider hiring someone without prior project management
experience but has the necessary skill sets to get the job done.
A project manager is a project management professional
tasked to manage a specific project and oversee a team of PMP staff working for
that project. A project manager should have above average organization,
motivation, time management and leadership skills. Large companies will offer
hefty compensation to a certified project management manager who can get them
results.
