Project Management: Pros, cons, what is it? What do project managers do? What are some of the challenges? We'll talk through this at a high level on this video.
Hey there, thank you so much for this video, it really helped. Im in the banking sector and am thinking of pursuing a career in PM. What would your advise be, in terms of what do study and where to begin considering i have 0 experience in the field
About to graduate from Marquette University undergrad, with s Political Science and Criminology degree. I have gotten reached out to by employers via Handshake for Project Management positions. I an just curious as to how likely it would be to actually one of these jobs and what exactly are some skills I should either possess or further develop. I have been s supervisor at some Construction companies leading groups from start to finish etc with projects.
If they’ve reached out to you, you definitely have a shot. Supervising construction projects is DEFINITELY project management. You likely already have many of the skill you need, you just need to highlight those transferable skills on your resume and while giving your interview. Try looking up project risk management, budget management, timeline management, resource management and project quality management and connect back those areas to what you’ve already had experience in.

Hello, I wanted to know why some project managers have to calculate the time frame with a formula I forget the formula basically it’s like a math problem you take 2 , 5, I can’t explain it why not use software to have an estimation on how many weeks it would take for a project to be completed?
Do you provide project management mentoring? I know the theoritical knowledge but I lack the practical skills. So do you provide such a service or do you know of anyone who provides such service?
Yes for sure. Your skills will be transferable. Feel free to book a call with me and I can help talk through the details with you. The first thing you’d want to do is ensure your resume and LinkedIn are optimized/revamped with all of your transferable skills and market you for the types of roles you want. About working in another country - the great thing about project management is that it’s processes and language is consistent across the world. Good luck!!
