OHEMGEE!! As a social worker it is so hard to find content from other social workers!! Thank you so much!! I’m licensed but I’m thinking about leaving the field. I’m getting a masters in organizational leadership.
i get where you're coming from when you say don't go into a job just for the money but giiiirl, a higher salary is a big motivator especially with how expensive everything is these days 😂😭 i'm passionate about healthcare but i'm gonna be honest, i can't help others if i'm not being paid a livable wage to help myself and my family anyway i definitely found this video helpful and it definitely makes me feel better when you mentioned project management is about transferrable skills. i will definitely be watching out for more videos from you!
I agree 100% that having a comfortable salary is super important! My point was primarily for those who may study or get into a field they hate just because it pays a lot! That’s a recipe for misery 🫣😂 I have a lotttt more PM content coming, get ready!! 🤩
Thank you for this video. Transitioning from a teacher to a potential project manager in a healthcare business UK. I'm super new so researching lots of UA-cam Videos for help 😅
Awwww you’re welcome sis! Teachers are some of the BEST PM’s I’ve met, so you’re def going to do amazing! Let me know if you need more insight, I’d be happy to film more videos about transitioning 🩵
Hey Beautiful! You’re so knowledgeable. I appreciate the transparency. As someone who was “put” into project management you are not lyingggggg about being organized and taking initiative. I’m an introvert so it’s exhausting BUT your tips will make things flow more smoothly definitely!
I can’t even imagine being introverted and having to pop out of your shell regularly sis 😩 gotta be heavy on the self care routine in that type of workspace! ✨
I'm also an introvert; I really have to dig deep to deal with people. But, I come out of my shell when I'd doing projects because I need to see things done the right way or not at all.
Very thorough and insightful. I've never thought to get a certification in soft skills. VERY smart!! I am so proud of you for taking a chance on yourself!! Only UP from here.
This was super helpful and inspiring! We both have the same educational background - I have the same bachelor's and master's degree. I always felt like I could be doing much more with my career on a larger scale. I'm very interested in PM roles in healthcare! After reworking my resume, I realize I've had quite a few project management related roles. Thank you again!
You’re so welcome!! PM’s in healthcare are so needed! You could research health insurance companies like BCBS, UHC, etc. They prob have a lot of PM roles opening for the new year!
I did Google Cert as well. Dont skip the assignments lol. Your not gonna do it afterwards, trust me. I did my PMP too, its much easier after GPM. PMP does not teach nitty gritty which GPM does to do the job. PMP is more like a DMV written test but you dont need to know how to drive. GPM is learning how to drive. Real Driving test is in the workspace if you gonna put it all into driving its upto you.
Lol, love the way you broke this down! PMP isn’t meant to be an exam for training, it’s to test your knowledge of what you learned from your training prior to exam. I remembering trying out the Google PM course but didn’t finish. I do agree that the training is very practical and helps you understand the “why”!!
You’ve inspired me in 3 min. I’ve been saying I wanted to become a scrum master and lean into the world of PM but didn’t pull the trigger. I start the course on knowledge hut tomorrow with Raj and I couldn’t be more excited!
@@TynishaTalks the class itself was perfect! Two days, easy to understand and once you pass, you get access to scrum alliance to continue your education! I haven’t gotten into PM yet, but I have been applying. The market doesn’t seem to hire me right now 😂
Loved the video, it was very helpful in regards to making sure it aligns with the type of person you are and your likes and dislikes. I watched a precious video and was inspired to get my CSM, but I found it to be vastly different from Project Management and much more structured. I don't feel I have enough transferable skills right now to get a CSM job right now and be able to do the job correctly. How would one go about getting more experience in scrum if they aren't in a position at work to implement the principles? Every entry level position I've seen wants you to have at least 3-5 years of experience. I haven't gotten any hits from recruiters since getting my cert. I have also had my resume revamped several times. I know the market is oversaturated right now, but I'm trying to keep the faith and not let the rejections affect my confidence.
My best advice would be to earn the certification and try to get hands on experience from volunteer projects! Sometimes the hits will come once you have the experience unless you find a company willing to take a chance without the direct experience!
During my college yrs, I was polemarch (President)and vice polemarch (VP)of an organization which initiated, planned, executed & completed tasks, and closed multiple projects and events. I have my BSW and have worked with that license for 12yrs. I also have been a company director for a family business for 16yrs. Now CEO of a separate property management company for a few months during which I've completed 2 home remodel projects in order to have a completed deliverable for clients. I also currently work as a hospital case manager for ~8yrs now. Lot of hats to fill. Yet I'm still not sure about how to use those years of case, people, and project management to better improve my resume as I would definitely like to transition into being a PM. I realize that social work and case management is not where id like to limit my life and leadership skill. Do you have any suggestions on how to better frame my resume in order to break into PM?
Think about those projects that you worked on in the different roles and use PM terms to describe the processes. Ex: instead of customers, say “stakeholders”, instead of solved problems, say “mitigated risks”, etc!
Hi l just finding your channel l am a experienced social housing management professional working in public sector organisations here in London uk. I m a aspiring project management professional l just started to study for CAPM certifications in project management, had some practical project coordination experience recently working for Homes for Ukraine Scheme here in London. Uk. As a fellow person of colour , I have a degree in sociology, have transferable skills l look to here from you.
Can you list the best certifications to get for project/program management for someone with no experience yet and where you recommend to get them from even if it's just from word of mouth please
How did you KNOW what you wanted to do next? I find that I get bored at the 3 month mark too, I've switched jobs sooo often. I'm getting my Master's in SW too :)
This is the best project management video I have seen thus far. Wow, thank you!
What a beautiful compliment, thank you! ✨

Awwww hey sis!! Girl I def use to watch your scrum videos before I got my cert! We gotta do a collab! 😍🫶🏾

Ayeeee, it’s so liberating girl!! I’m rooting for you 😍
How did things turn out for you?
