      ​@@victorrodriguez4081 Nope, it's good for beginners that's all, it won't help you get a job. All jobs require you to have relevant work experience, so spend time on gaining experience instead of getting useless certificates that employers don't care about.

    Working as a project manager in a global biotech company in Japan, I've learned that managing stakeholders here needs a personal touch. It’s more than sending emails or quick updates; it’s about being in the room, face-to-face, making sure every strategy detail is understood. For some remote team members, online meetings work fine, but with key stakeholders, direct conversations are essential. Each one-on-one meeting adds another piece to the puzzle-crucial for keeping everyone aligned and moving forward together.

    I am glad to see your experience as a project manager is based on reality. There was another project manager on TH-cam stating he finished work at 5PM and didn't look at emails before starting work. I found that to be truly unrealistic. As far as the demo goes, I would like to think you ran through it yesterday and not waiting until half an hour prior to make sure everything is okay.

    • @themaxmao
      @themaxmao  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I try to keep my content as insightful/realistic as I can. Per the demo, my teams and I had spent over a week prior preparing and making adjustments. It's important to know that videos are just snapshots of movies. They certainly don't showcase all the preparation and hard work that goes into making projects a success.

    Hi @MaxMao! You're doing a great job educating and motivating people like me break into PM. I want to ask, I have a background in SaaS Customer Success Management and have a Marketing & Management degree. I have gained basic Project Management experience working on projects working as Customer Success Manager. Can I break into PM with Google Certificate? Or I will have to take a PMP certification to land my dream remote PM job? I know PMP will seal the deal for but will alternate (easy) PM certifications help in anyway?
