Thanks for sharing 🍀

Wow. Thank you. 👏🏾👏🏾 Your content is so needed and helpful.

Hi Alvin, I have bachelors in commerce and I worked with leading bank, I want to start my career in PM!
Do i go for capm or csm!
I am focusing much on ms -excel and ms-project! Can you please add recommendation

Totally relate with you

Hi Alvin. First of all I would like to thank you and congratulate you to make on this video. I plan to take CAPm certification, however am not sure why am I am asked to fill in project management office: education course as a mandate field. Could you please assist me here..

Thank you for the video. I’m entering the field and this was perfect.

Excellent video! I was an Operations Manager. I earned my PMP in March this year. As I look for a job as a PM, I’ve had these exact questions on my mind. Love your channel. Topics are always on point. TY!

Great video. Exactly my thoughts as well. Just because you’re a project manager doesn’t mean that you will get the answers you need. They don’t report to you so they don’t feel the need to give you things in a timely manner. Hopefully you have a good rapport with those people.

Great content! I recently passed the test and received my PSM1 & PSM2. What are your thoughts on becoming a Scrum Master vs Project Manager? Is there a need to get the PMP if going in the Scrum Master direction? Seeing as though so many companies are changing from waterfall?

Hey Alvin,thanks for the video! These expectations are in my mind along when I accepted an Asst.Project Manager role. I was anxious thinking I have to know everything in order to lead the team. I just graduated and have to experience in managing project but I took CAPM as an extra course. May I know how will CAPM being use in Project Management and also how do you manage that expectations and knowledge gap during discussions? As for a fresh graduate like me (in architecture) who do not have any real life experience in the industry,how to manage that expectation/knowledge gap?

btw ps: your thumbnail picture putting “trap” scares me because I thought going into Project Management is a scam 😂

A big thanks Alvin. U clarified my mindset about this role. I was struggling to fulfill these expectations but now u made me see the reality 😃
