2 Reasons Why Project Managers Are Stuck in Dead-end Jobs

Have you been working in project management but not experiencing the satisfaction that goes with professional mobility?

Here are 2 things you should fix:

Your training was superficial – You applied for a project management job but did not get the job because the employer did not consider your training to be robust and in-depth

You need more experience – You passed the PMP exam but do not have the relevant experience that would’ve allowed you to hit the ground running.  This may have led to lack of credibility amongst your peers and/ a lack of confidence on the job.

How to fix it:

Get a mentor. A good mentor will help you identify your gaps and provide support

Do not skip the robust training – It is never too late to get a strong foundation. Attending a robust applied project management course, such as the Mastery in Applying Project Management (MAPM) offered by Project Management Global Institute (PMGI), will immerse you into a real-world project management environment, where you will learn to manage projects under the guidance and mentorship of experienced project management professionals. This course uses experimental teaching methods to help you gain practical knowledge and experience in project management. This course is open to non-PMPs as well as certified PMPs who would like to gain more experience and confidence in managing projects.

PMGI is an independent school approved by the Ministry of Education; and registered as a tertiary institution with the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ).
