    I’m currently taking the Google PM course and I really like that I’m picking up on the terminology listening to you discuss what you’re working on 🤗 I guess I am retaining the information.

      ​@@raymondwright7757you do still require experience. The thing is, there are tons of applied experience that aren't done under the title of "project manager" that still apply the practice and rack up the experience.

    I am glad to see your experience as a project manager is based on reality. There was another project manager on UA-cam stating he finished work at 5PM and didn't look at emails before starting work. I found that to be truly unrealistic. As far as the demo goes, I would like to think you ran through it yesterday and not waiting until half an hour prior to make sure everything is okay.

    • @themaxmao
      @themaxmao  10 місяців тому +4

      I try to keep my content as insightful/realistic as I can. Per the demo, my teams and I had spent over a week prior preparing and making adjustments. It's important to know that videos are just snapshots of movies. They certainly don't showcase all the preparation and hard work that goes into making projects a success.

    Hi @MaxMao! You're doing a great job educating and motivating people like me break into PM. I want to ask, I have a background in SaaS Customer Success Management and have a Marketing & Management degree. I have gained basic Project Management experience working on projects working as Customer Success Manager. Can I break into PM with Google Certificate? Or I will have to take a PMP certification to land my dream remote PM job? I know PMP will seal the deal for but will alternate (easy) PM certifications help in anyway?

      Any major can break in - hardest part is getting your first gig. I’m not formally trained in coding, but knowing it can sometimes help in troubleshooting complex software issues.
