Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I've watched your videos since April this year and followed your tips. 4 days ago, I was offered a role at a tech firm as a PM.
Congratulations 🎊
Ahh congratulations 🥳 this is so perfect. And makes me so happy. All the very best in your new role 🎉🤗🙏🏾
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulation! 🎉🎉🎉Did you take any courses prior to getting a job? Or was it self-taught? I ask bc I am taking a project management entry level course from coursera ffered by google, and I am almost done and kinda seeing what jbs are out there.
If you are in the UK, some NHS trusts have entry level admin roles and will pay for PRINCE2 foundation course. Worth looking into and get your feet on the ladder.😀
Thank u
Thank you Pitol! please keep making videos. I took the Google Project management role and then applied with Indeed to entry level position. I got a great offer within 2 weeks of applying.
Love to hear it! And that is great news. Congrats 🙏🏾🎉🤗
Hi! So great to hear this. I’m currently taking Google’s project management certification. If I may ask, was the certification the major highlight in your resume that landed you your entry level role? Hoping to get a response, thank you!
Hello! You've been at your job for some time now, how effective do you think the Google course was, in terms of preparation for the role or if it helped your CV?
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I didn’t know most of these roles existed. Of course, project coordinator or assistant (for a good project manager) is ideal, but I could definitely see myself doing project scheduling while learning the full scope of a project. Thank you from people who love to learn on the job!!!
Amazing ! And glad the video helped. Yerp all these roles are out there. And you’ll learn loads. Happy searching !
Loved this video! Great advice. Thank you! 😊
🎉🤗 thank you 🙏🏾
Ive i applied to project coordinator & junior project manager roles! i will go ahead and apply for the others & just PRAY that i get an opportunity so that i can learn on the go & apply for Project Manager roles!
Do you have any certifications ?
Thank you so much Pitol, all your videos inspire me.

🤗
Thanks a mil for this video will definitely adjust my job hunt accordingly!!!

🎉🤗 amazing thanks for watching and supporting hun

Well well well, this video is definitely a God send. Thanks for such valuable information 👍🏽. New subbie 🙌🏽
Yay🎉 thanks for the sub sis. And so happy it was helpful x
Thank you so much for making this video. I currently have my PMP certification as of 2021 with minimal project management experience. I will definitely look up and apply to these entry level project management roles you mentioned. I pray I will be able to land one of these positions in the near future. Please keep the videos and great advice coming. You are really helping a lot of us out here.
👏🏾🙌🏾 amazing , and congrats on getting your PMP I definitely will do !
Thanks for this video. I'm looking at applying for the roles project coordinator and/or project administrator. Just realized, after watching your video, I might have actually done the project admin role before without knowing it!
Love that for you ! Yes a lot of us do project type activities in our current roles already. It’s just not formalised but this is 100% translatable experience that should be captured on your resume !
Great video.gonna watch all the project management related videos now
🙌🏾
This was great information and what I needed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You seem to love your job, and that too is motivating for me. 🙏
🎉🙌🏾 thanks for watching 😊
Extremely bright. Thanks for the education
🤗
Thank you very much for this video. I just subscribed because of this video and I hope to check out other resources. I will be rounding up my 2nd bachelors( Business Management) here in Poland in 3 months and I have been taking courses and watching videos on Project Management and this one here is one of the best I have seen. Short but filled with information that can set you up for good. Thank you once more Pitol.
🥺🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much. This warms my heart. So happy you’ve enjoy my video 🥳
thanks, it was so useful!
You’re welcome !
Thank you so much. You are so amazing.
Thank you 🤗
I’ll definitely be adding these titles to my LinkedIn job alerts! Thank you❤
🙌🏾
This is so awesome Ire thanks alot 👌🏾
🤗 thanks for watching
Super helpful thank you❤
🤗
Great video! Been watching a lot of your content over the last week.
What industries do you feel are the easiest to get into?
I’m already a In software sales in a tech company. I believe I can spice up my resume to match the point a to point b in what I’m doing now but wouldn’t mind taking other roles to get more experience.
Hiya! Thank you for watching also !
So I think atm tech, because it’s an expanding industry and lots of opportunity. And you don’t necessarily need to be technical for all roles. That’s being said this is ‘easier’ not easy. Getting in to PM is really competitive these days
Hey, Love your content so much and find it really helpful. Can you make a video of possible interview questions for someone who is looking to get into project management roles.
Thanks! I actually only do interview things in 1-2-1 consulting: but I may consider it for the future
Loved this video, could you do a day in the life of a PM video ? That would be great
Hey! It’s been on my list to do this for a long time. It will just need to be a work from home one . Will try to put a video out before the end of the year !
Glad I came across this video.
🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for this video. I am currently enrolled in a PM course and looking to start a role as a project coordinator.
🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾 fab stuff. All the best
Did you do the CAPM OR PMP exam?
Thank you for the tips. I’m so happy you discussed these great entry level roles to get into Project Management. Does these entry level positions pay well?
What skills can I put on resume if I don’t have any experience managing projects? Thank you again this video is very helpful.
Hey! Np and depends on your definition of pays well. I’m UK you can expect to be paid between 25k and 40k id say. And anything that you’ve managed from A to B. Doesn’t have to be formal experience. It could be a process to improved in a previous role etc mayb
I was an implementation consultant and I want to be a PM. So I have been applying for jobs that are similar. This is very helpful. Thank you
Fab! Implementation consultant sounds very similar tbh. So hopefully you can leverage a lot of that experience
I love your videos Ire!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so very much for your simplicity in showing the various entry level project management roles that I can apply to.
I am into IT/Network and I am looking for project management role in IT. Please can you recommend the online sites I can apply for the various entry level roles you talked about. Thank you very much 🤗🤗
Hey no worries and thanks for watching 😊. The usually tend to do it. LinkedIn, Reed, indeed, etc
It’s like you knew I needed this video right now, thank you ❤️
😅🤗🎉 love to hear it. And thanks for watching sis x
Tbh because I've been searching non stop even till this minute. I really need to get a job😖😖 I pray I do.
Literally!! It was right on time 🥰
@@pitolinmotion Hey Ire, please can you advise on how one can get a remote position in another country when they are in another country. For example, living in Nigeria, what sites can I go to to look for and apply to PM roles in other countries like US, UK, etc...??
Hey if I’m honest. Try level roles don’t tend to be remote roles. Especially if you haven’t done the roel before. They want you to work onsite or hybrid. Most fully remote pm roles that I’ve seen are experienced role. But you can still have a look on LinkedIn, Reed and indeed to see what you can find
I’m in research mode atm. Looking to apply to a coordinator role. I’ve done project coordination but it was quite some time ago so would like to refresh myself and grow my skills. Likely will be doing the google pm program.
Project scheduler
Project administrator
Project coordinator
Trainee/Graduate PM
Project support specialist
Hi Pitol, thanks for this very informative video. I love your videos. I’ve been applying for PM roles for a while now but I’ve been unsuccessful. Do you advise I use the same Cv to apply for these other roles?
Hey thanks so much : well it depends, but assuming your applying for the same industry, the content in your cv should probs translate to all these roles. - so yeah why not :)
Lovely video as always. Thank you so much for all your wonderful content. Your page came to me when I thought about making a switch into tech positions, I’m currently about to start the process of fully committing to doing project management after doing a ton of free courses. But I wanted to confirm because I wasn’t sure which one to go for first. I’m torn between getting a capm or agile scrum certification, which do you think or would you advise I get first? Thank you ❤️
Hey! Thank you! I don’t actually give advise on which to take. It really depends on your career goals and the type of projects you’ll be delivering. Check out my video on things to consider when picking a course. Hopefully that will better inform you x
@pitol is it possible you give a video about financial tracking, Risk log management, Mc project, PPM tools updating project reports etc
Hey, all these things will be part of my PM course I’m launching early next year so stay tuned!
If you havent already, it would be good to see a PMO vs programme manager video 😊
Shall add it to the list :)
Yes please @@pitolinmotion
Hi Pitol! I really like your videos, you're offering really valuable information for those who are interested in being a PM. I have a question, If a person do a course or gets the PMP is this person able to work in any industry?
Does the company that is interested in hiring you gives you a training?
Thanks a lot! ;)
Hey thank you ! Yeah so PMP is just a cert that shows that you have a good understanding and experience of project management. So like it should be recognised in most industries, but it doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a role. Each company is different: and you’ll need to show them that you have the skills as a PM not just a certification.
Also will companies train you. Not necessarily. Like being a project manager is not entry level, you will be expected to hit the ground running. You’re unlikely to get training unless you’re in a trainee role, or you’ve asked for training specifically. In terms of formal certs. Once again , it depends on the company. If you make it a term of your contract, you are more likely to get your company to sponsor your certification
@@pitolinmotion thanks you so much! You've been very helpful!! Keep doing this great videos!
This is quite helpful. Thank You ❤
Thank you!
Hey thank you for posting your videos ! They are so helpful. I've been struggling to get into Project management and I'm unsure why. I revamped my resume, linkedin profile, Google Project Mangement Certification and studying for my CAPM. Could you suggest any other options or tips I could use ? Please and thank you
Hey sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. It is a super competitive market atm. Have you been applying to entry level roles ?
@@pitolinmotion yes I've been applying to so many entry level jobs and nothing is coming back. I'm unsure if my resume, after being updated, is the reason
Hey! It may be. I usually do cv consulting but I don’t have any availability to take on any more clients: have you got someone that can look over your cv for you?
where would you say an assistant manager position fits into play compared to the top 3 options you mentioned in this video? thanks for any advice!! graduating this may with a bsba and would love your help :)
Hey, it’s basically a project support role so I would also apply to it too. And all the best with your graduation! All my help is in my videos :)
@@pitolinmotion thank you for such a fast reply!! appreciate your support!
Hi! So my current role is a client relations manager, and I’m looking to break into the PM field. Would you suggest I apply as a coordinator or as an assistant project manager?
Girl you better apply for them all. The key is to get in, and it is super competitive right now. It may not be easy. Those two roles are very very similar so either is cool. I think Asians project manager is probs slightly better
Hi! What would you say is best route to start the journey of transition into a project scheduler. I’ve done medical admin work but would you say getting a PM cert is a good start??
Hey there is no single best route. It will depend on your background and experience. A cert is a good contributor now, as it is incredibly competitive
@@pitolinmotion thank you so much!!
My previous roles have been Creative Resource Manager with marketing agencies and have been applying to Project Manager roles but so far no success getting jobs interviews- So for now, looking Resource Manager roles ....
Hey! I have 4 months experience in an entry level role (still there) and currently doing my PRINCE2. What’s the probability of me getting an APM role elsewhere? Do you think I need to wait a few more months? I also have a related degree
Hiya! There is no hard rule here. Really depends on how much actually project experience you are getting and whether you can prove that you can do the role of a pm with the skills and knowledge you have developed . If you think so then go for a full PM role! Some people need more time to get experience under their belt. Some don’t. I think the degree doesn’t matter as much if I’m honest: they care about what you can do, not what you can read
Hi, if you are a project manager associate for a solar company for a year now. What is an appropriate amount to request for a raise now at your yearly review? Especially if you have recently have had lay offs and have taken on more projects due to that.
Hey, I can’t say. Each Company is different. I’d say just ask for what you feel is appropriate for the additional work you have taken on . Worse they will say is no. If they have done lay offs, it could be because of lack of budget. But tbh that’s not your issue
I wish there was online internship for pm
Can you do a video on building a PM entry level roles CV?
Hey! I’ve given some tips on my last video. But really building a cv is specific to the person and their experience. I have 1-2-1 services for this if you would like more help
Hi.. I was watching all your videos it was very useful. I finished my masters in project management with agile practitioner certification. I am applying for all the entry level roles but everywhere it is getting rejected many are asking for prior relevant experience even if it is a entry level. Can you please help me in guiding on this.
Hey there sorry your having trouble, it is a tough market atm: I would say, they to look for opportunities to delivery projects around you or in uni; even if it’s not formal, it’s good to demonstrate that you have. the skills to be a pm. Also apply for graduate roles: it’s the best way to get in. Also make sure your cv is up to scratch , I have a cv tips video out that you can look at also
Another great video 🙂 can I ask how long we should stay in an entry level role before applying for a pm role? I'm applying for entry level roles now but curious lol x
Hey hun ! Thank you… so tbh it depends on how much actual real project experience you are getting in the role. But if you are Getting experience and you are able to get more hands on expertise within that role, for me it would be one year and I’ll start looking at junior pm roles. Or assistant pm roles . But tbh no harm in looking earlier
@@pitolinmotion ahhh makes complete sense.. thank you very much Lovely for the reply x
Elizabeth, if you dont mind me asking, where are you finding and applying to entry level PM roles? I've looked on Indeed, Zip Recruiter and no luck.
Hi Ire, please do I need to be a graduate before applying for training in project administrator
Hey nope. You don’t need to be, you can apply for an entry level project administrator role. As along as you can show that you can do the role, you’re all good
I have a question. I just received my scrum master certification does this apply to PM jobs also I’m trying to get my foot in the door with no experience.
Hey there. So scrum is a type of agile delivery, so yes and no. Some projects use scrum but not all. That being said the theory of agile is used across most projects these days, so I say apply far and wide: at the end of the day you’ll need more than the cert to get the role anyways: you need to be able to demonstrate that you have the necessary attributes in you to get the job done :)
@@pitolinmotion thank you!!!
What are the highest paid PM industries?
Hey, you may have to google it, however, off the top of my head, I would say, engineering, construction, IT, and maybe financial services
How does one find a trainee/graduate pm role? Is this the same as an internship?
You look online, look at companies you wonna work for and check their career site . Usually the app open in September
Hi.
Is project administrator the same as a project support assistant. I've been invited for an interview for the role of a project support assistant, what advice can you give me?
Congrats on your interview . Not the same. Look at the job description, and be knowledgable
@@pitolinmotion Thank you for the quick response. 🙏
Which of these is suitable for freelancing plssssssd
Freelancing isn't too common for entry level roles. If that's the path that you're interested in, gain experience in one of these roles that Pitol mentioned, then you'll be a highly sought after asset. Especially if you specialize in something like scheduling.
@@twiWright25 thank you so much for this insight and giving me clarity on this subject
Totally agree with that. Free lancing roles are usually for people will experience. It’s like contracting . You can look but probs won’t see a lot
Can I go from facilities coordinator to PM entry roles without a degree or qualifications?
I see no reason why not
Although you might find it harder to break in
You bought a house but didnt do any renovation uupdates. Luv your videos
Hey!!! One is coming 😭 bare with me, if I’m honest I’ve just spent most of my money on enjoyment this year. My house is very empty lol . And thank you 🤗
@@pitolinmotion okay cool. Sorry, deffo no pressure take your time and im subbed so when you post im here even if it takes you another year lol
Thank you Ire,, Please what is the best way to transform as a Pcordinator(Nigeria) to a PM Uk . Please kindly suggest
Hey. I haven’t really got any advice on this from a regional perspective. Like I’m not versed on how to switch roles in different countries . But if you wonna become a project manager , from being a project coordinator in general. Defo try ask for larger work packages and deliver. Then go for promotion.
@@pitolinmotion OK . Thnx
Wat abt Junior Project Manager role??
Can you please tell abt this role
Hey so a junior pm is just a pm but in a junior level. Some organisations actually make the differentiation between a project manager and a junior project manager. But in many organisations this differentiation is not made and instead people are working in project management roles at a junior level without actually being called ‘Junior project manager’ so really it’s just the same as a project manager, but mainly working on lower scale and cost projects. I wouldn’t call it. An entry-level project management role because a junior project manager is responsible/accountable for enter into delivery of the project, whereas these entry-level rolls or not..
@@pitolinmotion Thankyou so much.. 👍
Sad thing they still keep requesting project management experience of 5 years even for these roles
Not always. I’ve seen and helped people get roles with minimal experience. You need to make sure you are seeking the right kind of roles . And also, just because they ask for it on paper doesnt mean that’s what they are gonna get: If you can tick off the other bullets on the job spec and communicate that well on your cv you can defo be in with a shot. I think that’s what most people find difficult to do
@@pitolinmotion I think that's what I have been finding to be the most difficult thing. I have transferable skills but I am not communicating that effectively. Also in the US(probably the same in the UK?), they have had so many layoffs that the pool of candidates even looking for entry-level roles has increased. And some of these people have years of PM titular work.
Ahh yeah tbf all of those things are contributing factors. Pm is very competitive atm and in the US certification is kinda really important. I suggest you defo do cert to help you stand out
@@pitolinmotion yes! Thank you I’m currently working on getting the CAPM and I have my agile certs for CSPO and CSM so I’m glad to hear you think I’m going in the right direction. Also I appreciate that you are responding! It’s helpful!
Hello, you beautiful Black Woman. It's funny that you spoke on the PM roles. I am Sr. Level Quality Engineer at a large Aerospace company, I am looking to change careers and I have a meeting with one of the Program Manager 3 at my company to discuss the role and what I need to make the change.
The way I see it Quality deals at a 100-foot view, systems engineering see it from a 1000 foot view, but PM see it from a 10,000 foot view.
I have the technical, but I don't have it in PM. I enjoyed your video. I will surely be subscribing.
Do you do one on ones?
Hey there, and thanks for subscribing, nice that you want to transition into the crazy world of project management 🎉 and yes I do 1-2-1 consulting sessions however they are on hold until February. If you would like one though, I’m happy to make an exception. Send me an email to pitolinmotionsocial@gmail.com with exactly what you’d like to get out of the session. And I can send you more details on the services I offer.
Pitol i never knew there was calculations in project management🥲 please could you do a video about the 10 knowledge area of project management?
Hey sis! Haha what do you mean about calculations? You mean like levels to project management ? And when you say knowledge areas what do you mean ? x
Just found your page and it has been wonderful. Are you on LinkedIn or IG?
Amazing! Thanks for watching. I have IG @pitolinmotion
@@pitolinmotion done.
Hi Pitol, thanks for this very informative video. I love your videos. I’ve been applying for PM roles for a while now but I’ve been unsuccessful. Do you advise I use the same Cv to apply for these other roles?
Thank you :) sorry you r been unsuccessful, well depends, if you’ve been unsuccessful are you sure your cv isn’t the issue? May need to get someone to look it over. I can’t say if you should change it, cos I haven’t seen it. But tbh like 95% of it should defo be reusable
@@pitolinmotion thanks for your response. I’ve been shortlisted for a few interviews but didn’t get the job. Can I please send you my CV to review whenever you get a chance? It would really mean a lot 🙏
@@BeingOke hey sorry you haven’t had much luck with your interviews . Naturally I would say, since you are getting interviews, your cv isn’t the issue. It’s most likely your interviewing technique. Either way. I offer interview prep and cv review services. I do charge for this. If you would like to know more please send an email to pitolinmotionsocial@gmail.com :)
