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.
@@victorrodriguez4081 Nope, it's good for beginners that's all, it won't help you get a job. All jobs require you to have relevant work experience, so spend time on gaining experience instead of getting useless certificates that employers don't care about.
Appreciate this video! I'm a transitioning Army captain into the PM space and I've been trying to see what the civ side of project management looks like. Really informative and I appreciate the effort
Manifesting a REMOTE PROJECT MANAGER JOB, one that will allow me to live and live beautifully! Your content is amazing! Taking my PMP next month and I’m transitioning into project management and I trust that the Universe is working in my favor 🙏🏾 Keep up the good work, you are an encouragement to us.
@@raymondwright7757 I have been in project management but in the capacity of an assistant, not taking any major roles. Like a PM or any major ones. It’s actually being assigned roles in PM that got me interested in it and I gained 5 years of experience.
@@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.
Working as a project manager in a global biotech company in Japan, I've learned that managing stakeholders here needs a personal touch. It’s more than sending emails or quick updates; it’s about being in the room, face-to-face, making sure every strategy detail is understood. For some remote team members, online meetings work fine, but with key stakeholders, direct conversations are essential. Each one-on-one meeting adds another piece to the puzzle-crucial for keeping everyone aligned and moving forward together.
@@CostcoSamurai great point! the puzzle metaphor is really interesting. always tailor your approach. it’s important to get a sense of who your stakeholders are and identify what’s important to them.
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.
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.
@@themaxmao Let people know that. Your video is very good, but you also have to let people know it's not a walk in the park. Keep up the good work. Don't mind me. I realize you have to save time in your presentation, otherwise people may loose interest. Keep up the good work.
Hi Max, nice video and presentation , I am just starting as a project manager , so I would like to share some insights, Is there a way I could build a portfolio so that I could share to my next potential employers, also apart from pmp , prince , scrum , what else could i do to upskill myself , like learning cloud and certification of aws , azure, gcp . It would be really great if you could share some insights on these.
Great video! Can you give some recommendations to people who want to work as a project manager? What characteristics a person should have in order to be a good PM? Maybe you can recommend some courses for beginners?
Glad you enjoyed the video! Will plan to make a future video on how to break into PM! I made a 5 part series breaking down project management - feel free to check those videos out!
Hi so im currently a military spouse finishing up my project managment courses moving into taking the exam for it currently and im having some trouble looking for remote jobs that dont require some type of job exp how did you land where you work and what does the work load look like for you?
@@kaitlynaksenov4019 hi! I go over my career journey (linking video here): ua-cam.com/video/kyXBU_CUdLg/v-deo.htmlsi=92t5ZP_zS1nDxP44 Work load is highly variable depending on the type of job you’re at and how “active” your projects are. Hope this helps!
Hello, how did you land a job. Ive been applying for 3 months through out my Coursera course of the PM certificate. I can’t seem to land a project coordinator position.
Hi! What is your opinion of Google's project manager course? I'm a complete beginner and I'd like to become a project manager but don't know if that course would/could be enough?
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?
A remote project management job like yours would be a dream come true. Btw, have you done coding on your projects? Can Liberal Arts majors like myself break into project management?
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. I made a video on how to break into project management with no experience - check it out and let me know your thoughts!
I Want to try becoming a coordinator Is new to me and I heard they wrk with project managers as well. I just stumbled with ur video Since my ex partner is a project Manager just wanted to see what exactly is what he does as well. So I thought ur vid could be helpful .
This will be entirely dependent on the organization. While there most likely are opportunities to work remotely in the U.S. while living in a different country, keep in mind this may be challenging to find due to the time differences!
I'm starting to get into Project management I m study for my CAPM and finishing my degree in management Currently I work as a water pipeline construction management inspector So I have alot of communication with our PMs which are usually engineers lol Any advice on starting out as a PM?

@TheFacelessTraveller when did the requirement change for taking the PMP exam? When I took it in 2007 you needed prior project management experience.

As a remote IT Project manager this is the most realistic day in the life I’ve seen with 4-6 hours of meetings being a norm 🙃
Keeping it real!
Will you make a video of your day in a life?

Hi Max, is it possible to work remotly from Vietnam to Tech company in US. Thanks
This will be entirely dependent on the organization. While there most likely are opportunities to work remotely in the U.S. while living in a different country, keep in mind this may be challenging to find due to the time differences!
Thanks for your sharing. I never give up to work at home as remote project manager.
Nice video!
Thank you!!

soccer legs haha!
how come you woke up at 7:16 but gym clock says 6:47

PM experience - depends on the industry
What do you use for video editing
Planning to go over all the tools/resource I use in an upcoming video - would that be helpful?
