Hi Ire, I love your videos, they are so informative and inspiring. I have just got my first role as a Project Support Officer. I really feel that your channel helped me to broaden my project management knowledge and find the confidence to apply. Thank you for that!
I have my PMP and 7 years of PM experience. That said, I have applied to 400 PM roles on LinkedIn since March and have only gotten one inteview. I am in the greater NYC market and it has been a blood bath, considering all of the recent tech layoffs. I am at a loss right now in my search. I have even had four direct employee referrals, none of which even got me so much as a screening call. 5-10 years ago though, a referral got me an interview. Things have changed a great deal.
The market is really tough! For real. But I would keep trying. Unfortunately pm is just really popular atm. Still try the tips I’ve given. And perhaps get someone to look at your application/cv. Things have moved on from 5-10 years ago. You may need to modernise it/ focus on particular areas . Keep going ! A breakthrough is on the way if you don’t give up 🙌🏾
Hey, I currently don’t have a training program unfortunately. Maybe get a professional to look at your cv to ensure you are selling yourself. It is very competitive at the moment, so don’t be discouraged. Just keep going
Hey I just came across your channel today and your videos are highly informative. I’m a sophomore in college. I’d loveee if you could share the best books, resources, and job I could do to be fully prepared for a successful career in PM by the time I graduate!
Hey lovely ! So in terms of books, I don’t really read lol, so I don’t have any recommendation, usually if you study for one of the pm certs, for example CAPM or the google project management cert , this should give you all the knowledge you need to get started. I have a video on entry level roles, those are the types of roles you should aim to get as a beginner. Hope this helps!
This is spot on 👌🏾🙌🏾 🤩 As always great advice! Just to add my 2 cents.....even after seeing the job advert on the sites, I always go to the Company site to double check & confirm it exists & that it is still open for applications. This also gives me a chance to learn more about the company which comes in handy when drafting the cover letter. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Hi Pitol, may you ever do a video on a example of how a sample project would be done or like for those of us who are interested in building some kind of portfolio and if we do not have a lot of experience in budgets how do they work into project management or how we can get past the interviews that ask for that experience or tips on how budgets play into project management? I noticed no one ever has talked about how budgets work in PM on YT yet. This might be asking for a lot, but if if you can give a brief overview I think it might help some of us. Thank you in advance.
Hey! So you probs won’t see examples of this on yt, because you can’t really make up an example project. Or a portfolio . Project management is based on real life experience, so you either have examples or you don’t. Unlike maybe app engineers who’s can make their own prototypes and build a portfolio like that, you can only build your experience on project, through working on actual projects
Nothing beats Face to face. I remember going to the richest square mile on Africa in a town called Sandton CBD seeking a bursary after countless failed responses from tens of applications. I entered The first building JSE Johannesburg Stock Exchange building and they legit gave me an application form for busary that had been available from March - August ... I entered the building in November and they accepted me because they appreciated the effort and guts I had to approach in person. If you really want it. Go get it. I'm doing my final year now already doing my first IT Project Management gig with a hospital. I am looking to get Scrum Master / CAPM / PMP / Agile with a touch of Cuber Security skills with Kali Linux. I see Cyber Security skills as being very important.
@@TechieChy Cyber Security is rich with opportunities. Often jobs as Cyber Security Analyst require IT PM Skills. Combination of both makes it hard not to find a job in tech as they are both growing exponentially in demand.
@@sakhiwodlalisa4844 that's right. The only issue is that cybersecurity is broad which makes it difficult to know the exact area to focus on or start with. Which area would you suggest to start off with?
Hey! Defo if you can do F2F that’s great. These days the HR department may not be on-site so can be a bit more tricky. If no harm in trying where possible
Hey dear, I am looking into Project Management at the moment! I am currently a marketing manager so I do believe I have transferable skills. Im looking into some courses just to get extra skills etc. I wanted to ask, is it good pay?. google can lie and tell us BS on pay. Would you say its decent money? So curious!
Hey there ! Yep the earning potential is great tbh, but obviously to people that know how to navigate the market. With 5 years Pm experience you can expect to easily be on 6 figs if you contract, or high 5 fig for perm (in the UK)
Thanks for putting out AMAZING content! Do you have any personal experience with PMs who have worked internationally? US citizen moving to the UK soon.
Hey girl love your videos and I am thinking of studying project management . Would you say that a project management job is flexible ? Do you have to work 5 days a week to Make decent pay ? Is it possible to work 3 days a week as a project manager ?
Hey thank you :) you’ll find it hard to find pt pm roles like they. Even for contractors , they are expected to work ft for set periods of time. It is flexible in the sense that you can do 6months on and 6 months off kinda thing and still make a lot of money (when you contract) so that potential is there. But that’s more for experienced pms, not for pms just starting, you’ll most likely do a perm role which won’t be pt
I don't know in UK but in France, companies use some the Product Owner tittle. But, when you deeply read the job offer, it's more PM oriented, is it the same in UK? I think it's just because the PO postion is more trendy than PM position, what do U think about it?
Hey! So not so much in the Uk. Product management and project management is very different: but I can imagine that happens a lot, people often mix the two, because the two roles work very closely together
Oh dear, I love your channel. I just finished my certifications in agile and classic PM and I’m looking for a entry job atm. I want to work mostly remotely (to be able to work from anywhere). Any recommendations for this specific factor too? Thank you for everything! You are so charismatic 💖
Thanks! And lovely another one in the Pm gang! No real specifics for working remotely, some organisations offer it, some don’t, I think ultimately if they think you can do the job, you’ll be the job . Depends on the organisation if it is remote work or not really
Love your channel im changing careers. My question is, do you think my previous experience and skill in my current career can be applied to projects management. Im a pastry chef i i over looked teams. Help opened hotels and bakeries. Done r&d on products and consulting on projects for small start ups in food industry.
Hey there ! Thank you! And possible. It really just depends on how formally you’ve worked on those projects. I personally think all experience is transferable. It really just depends on how you market it
Thanks you i appreciate the food back cant wait to start company paying for my bachelors in project management great thing is they can get me job within company 😀 if i like. Thanks again
Depends what pm you are doing . If you are doing pm in rail or construction, why would you need to know how to code. Unless you plan to be a technical it pm, you don’t need to learn how to code

Awwh I hope you get one soon. The competition out there is indeed fierce

I’m a certified Scrum Master seeking an entry PM role. I was in sales and business development.
How do I get in your training program if you have one. Already done training, passed my pmp but having troubles getting a role

Thank you lovely 🤗✨
Can you do a video on pm and how much coding experience you need?
You not need to code to be a project manager
@@pitolinmotion oh wow. Ok. But I should be able to understand it ? I’m in school now for pm and they have me taking a bunch of coding courses
Depends what pm you are doing . If you are doing pm in rail or construction, why would you need to know how to code. Unless you plan to be a technical it pm, you don’t need to learn how to code
@@pitolinmotion thank you 💕😊
