I’m looking to get into Project Management, and I wanted to see if anyone here has a specific Project or PM they look at as a guide anyone could learn from?
For some details about myself, I’m 24 years old living in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I don’t have a degree, I currently don’t have any certifications associated with Project Management, however I am doing my CAPM exam soon.
I have about 3-4 years of experience in supervision (Restaurants, Warehouse, & Field Supervision) and currently lead a Warehouse Department, and do Field-Supervision for the same company.
My goal is to eventually work, and live in the US, and Project Management, although I have no experience currently, is something I’ve always been interested in and is generally covered under work Visa’s in the US.
I have excellent leadership skills, organizational skills, interpersonal skills, and I love being busy with hard work.
Even with these skills, and the willingness to learn, I still need help finding my way into the space so I can get the experience I need to be an amazing Project Manager and leader.
After my CAPM, are there other Internationally recognized certifications I should look for? I’m on a tight budget, and don’t have time for dedicated full-time schooling at the moment. Is there another way I can get my foot in the door that someone like myself may not know about having not been in the field?
If anyone can help me out, I’d appreciate it a ton.
Thanks so much!
