One additional tip on why vision is essential:
Knowing the vision of the PM role helps you while interviewing because you know what skills to focus on.
For example, you're interviewing for a PM role and the vision for the role is for a PM to come in, create a structure for their projects, and help them get organized.
With that vision in mind, during the interview, you will highlight your organizational skills. Imagine if you didn't know the vision for the role, you might be highlighting your communication skills and sell yourself short.
Watch, Enjoy, like, subscribe, leave a comment and most importantly, apply the learnings so that you can see the result.

I'm rooting for YOU!

1 year later i just stumbled on this video. I'm currently transitioning from a 6 years career as an executive assistant to project management. After 2 months training, I'm seeking internship opportunity YES internship to build my "KNOW HOW" I remember being in a discussion and someone said WBS i was all over the place trying to remember it meant "work break down structure" I believe an internship will help my development. Coach if you don't mind having a mentee, I'am availabale to learn and be coached.

[@MegaFaith25]

Thanks for mentioning coverage. I feel like pivoting into PM is monster with 8 heads.

[@toluaghotor4564]

Thank you so much for the encouragement its highly appreciated. However I want to ask, based on your expertise and experience, what skills are required mostly by tech companies to succeed in a project manager role? Could you be so kind as to list some from experience?

So i have a customer service background in the banking sector but recently i have led the successful launch of a new skincare brand for someone and i got another referral to help a cleaning service business launch on IG(small business). Are these experiences in product/project management? because i had both experiences on the projects. I'm confused on how to write them in a professional manner on my resume?

Good day ma'am. Please what advice would you give a recent graduate looking into project management without a relevant course or experience in the field.

[@Tiffany0628]

New subscriber, I love your content! It’s very informative. I’m currently taking the Google course on PM. I’ve been a stay at home mom a few years and since then I’ve complete my bachelors in business and masters in health care administration. I’m wondering how can I transition to this role with no experience just a educational background . When it’s time to interview I don’t know if being a stay at home mom can have transferable skills ? Any advice I will greatly appreciate it ?

[@ogagajohnson]

First, congratulations on all you've accomplished so far, that's amazing. Second, as a stay at home mom, you're the project director of the home. Think through all you do, and based on the definition of what a project is, identify all the projects you've done. I'm sure you'd identify many e.g. planning summer holiday trip and activities for summer 2023, planning and preparing for september school resumption etc. I hope this helps.

[@Raph_ThePerformer]

Thank you so much. I just started following you and your coaching, and I honestly have a harmless question. Please, is there a way to reach out to you, for a more insight apart from social media please? Your response is so much appreciated even in advance. Surely, I will be a PM.

[@ogagajohnson]

Yes, sure. You can contact me via the contact tab on the website (www.ogagajohnson.com/contact)

[@ladyaonthemove]

Hi, this video was really motivating. I am rounding up my masters but I feel so drawn to a career in project management but I don’t know how to go about it. What will you advice me to do?

[@ogagajohnson]

Congratulations on your masters. Go for it. I'll be glad to help. Check out my PM Accelerator program: www.ogagajohnson.com/pmaccelerator

[@terrahs2807]

I'm trying to transition into a PM role. I do not have a degree but am currently taking the Google career certification course and planning on then getting a CAPM after that. Do you think these two certifications will be enough education to land an entry level PM role?

[@ogagajohnson]

I think they're a great start.

[@evie7191]

I want to land my 1st projects management....as a transition

[@ogagajohnson]

You can!

[@helloabimi]
