Check out my training and templates, here:bit.ly/3540haJ
If you're trying to start your PM career and are having trouble figuring out what to do, this video is for you.
In this video I reveal two ways to land that first PM job, no experience required.

Your video was a God sent. I have been working with staffing agencies for 4 years full-time doing administrative/clerical tasks. Before listening to your video, I was worried that I have been wasting time and not taking my career-path serious. Temping has connected me with large and small organizations and given me the opportunities to work with experienced and smart people. The assignments given to me by the staffing agencies were about the same. The projects were very large, neglected, and time consuming -but were important to the client's long-term success. Many of these projects were considered by many as boring and repetitive. The experience I gained from past temp assignments helped me to successfully complete other projects and to think like a Project Manager . I am now interested in learning more about Project Management and getting a CAPM certification. Your video was on point.

As someone who enjoys being chucked in the deep end and proving myself the small company option appeals to me. Really enjoyed the video, especially you’re openness with your story

Hello Jason, I am currently working at a 120+ person MSP as part of a drastic career change. I have spent over 16+ years in various retail management roles and when given the opportunity to make a career change by a former colleague; I jumped at the opportunity. What you said in this video really rings true, especially the imposter syndrome. I am going through my current role and attempting to not be frustrated day by day, but as a contingency plan, I am glad to know that there are junior roles I can apply my experience to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I am trying to return to the field after having been out for (too) many years. Not easy. I went your route and started in a small center-like place and -- got hit by covid. Now I am trying again, -as you mentioned- either to get into a PMO or another smaller company where I can make myself useful. I love project management, love the entire process of helping people deal with the change. I had great teachers, one like you: self-starter who went into IT with zero degrees and made it there to become a great personable PM and mentor. I so hope, things will work out soon. At least, you confirmed my job-search strategy-which is great. Also trying the certification thing to update my knowledge. But I am so ready... Thank you heaps for sharing your experience.

Awesome! PMs come from diverse backgrounds. The best PMs have technical knowledge AND people skills. It's not a job for everyone. I would imagine that you honed your people skills as a salesperson, which is great. I'm going to be honest and say that for a very long time, I was not very good at maintaining a work-life balance. That is a skill I'm working on now. So a shift to PM isn't necessarily a guarantee that you'll get your life back. But, perhaps, achieving that balance is something we can explore together. I plan to focus on balance a lot this year in my content.

I cleared it last month, and my advice would be don't take much time for preparation, I mean months and months. I just read and watched videos for 2-3 weeks. I understand everyone takes different amount of preparation but once you get the main idea about CAPM or rather project management, it's not that hard. Spending a year for it will only make you more tensed and lower your confidence.

If anyone is looking to get in to project management space, most of the bigger organization is adopting agile methodologies these days and lot of smaller or medium size companies does agile very well due to small size and co-located team. So I would add that the third option is to understand agile and start applying for scrum master opportunities.

I am studying to get my PMP by June of 2020. I feel the positions mentioned today will help me as would a smaller company to progress. Project Admin, Project Analyst, or Project Control Officer sounds like a good first step. Thanks for this advice. It is very valuable.

Option B - large company. As you said, there's so much knowledge one can get by working with really experienced people. I've started my career as a worksite manager assistant right after college in a multinational company and I see the difference between my behaviour and some of my fellow colleagues that got into smaller/fresher companies. The work environment is usually tougher in large companies, but doesn't that endure you? Anyways, great video, thanks for sharing!

Hi Jason, I'm really encouraged by listening to the story of your career change. I feel like I'm in similar situation as you've been working for a temp agency after losing a well-paid job. For some time I was trying to understand what professional path to choose based on my strengths and what I really enjoy doing. I'm working for a national retail company in the UK and even before getting my current junior manager position in logistics I was drawn to every project dealing with making changes and improving things. I'm extremely passionate about making a difference in that company and bringing to the table my experience and unique perspective. Until watching your first video I wasn't sure if PM would be a good framework to put myself in. After listening to the qualities you believe are essential for the PM role I've decided to do my best to get into that position eventually. I'll try to execute option B in the first place but if my current employer will not be flexible enough then I'm determined to try different one or even try route A (small company). Thank you a lot for your efforts to help people like me and I'm diving into the rest of your youtube content.

Started as a PM in a small company..now working in a bigger corporation in mid Europe, I DEFINATELLY recommend the first option (If you are that lucky). The experience you get in a small company is indispensable.. However, it might be more dificult, to switch in between large and small companies.. you can always go: 1. PM in small company, 2. PM junior in lager company and then get promoted to senior. (Funny fact.. mid senior PMs in central europe.. (around 30K - 40 K...).. really senior ones.. around 50K ... )

This video was awesome😀. I am interested im either one but I feel I do better with a smaller org because I have had a mentor in retail that helped me better myself. I am not afraid to take initiative, I am teacheable. I love being around people who are willing to help me grow and see my potential and I am most certainly a team player. I am in the mist of job hopping but trying to find the organization where I can grow into my project experience.

Hi Jason, This was a really informative and interesting video to watch, thank you for taking your time and doing this. I strongly believe that option number one is more appealing to me and this is the route that I wanna take to launch my construction management career, and yes I do want to take my CAPM and combine that with my college AS degree in building construction, once again thank you.

I’m currently looking to get into a PMO or Project Manager role. I have been in the healthcare field for 13 years with the last five being in a leadership position. Although Project Manager was not my official title, I oversaw many projects and in April 2022 I sat for PMP exam with PMI after documenting 5 years of project management duties and I passed on the first try. I hold certifications in Lean Six Sigma as well and when I interview for PM roles they have been going great but choose to go with PM’s with more experience. Any advice you can give on breaking in?

Thanks a lot for sharing! Your story reinforces me that I am not alone with my zig-zag path and that I am actually doing OK. I think that how I joined a growing company as PM support, did some SW testing then decided I wanna be a PM differs only a tiny bit. Now I have relocated to another country and I am reflecting which way to go next :) I have a question though, when relocating regionally, should I consider this as a step back at the 3rd year of PMing?

something I see too often is the inverse opposite issue with project management, myself and other leaders become tasked with a responsibility, something recurring annually, maybe a huge event, something with a sizeable budget, predictable but different each time, we don't have the skills for project management as much as we have coping skills and learning from our mistakes - we seek out someone to promote from within, and no one ever wants to step up or down or sideways into project management - it's like at every company I've ever worked for everyone avoids it like the plague and people get 'stuck' with the title. I envy those that WANT the title, where are you, people?! How should a company turn such a need into a hireable position from outside - when they always want to promote from within but no one is willing, and those that do interview seem reticent to do something they're unfamiliar with without a long training. I come looking for insights in finding the right kind of people to hire who won't wait around for parameters to follow from previous projects but think creatively and research their asses off to find new solutions we didn't think of. WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?!

Another insightful video, Jason. I've worked for a large fortune 100 company for a very long time. I see the benefits of having that structure and ability to take on many mentors. However, I would absolutely LOVE to work for a smaller start-up where there is a "family" atmosphere. Being able to work directly with owners and upper management, and perhaps making direct impact in the business is incredibly beneficial. I could go either way, but option A may be my next step.

Hey Tom, great to see you back on the channel! :-) Yeah, starting out in that smaller environment really worked out well for me. When I think back on it now, I wouldn't change a thing. It gave me an opportunity to wear many hats and really, truly "own" many things. You just don't get that with the larger companies. But, like I said, there's benefits to both.

I started as contracting "option A", and am now looking for a local PM to come join me in building out my startup agency dedicated to helping small business owners with their brand development and ongoing brand management goals. In other words, I'm looking for a motivated person looking for their own "option a" possibility.

@@pradhirp1636 Couple of different routes to reach USA 1. Find a company who can sponsor your H1b( work visa). 2. Go for second master degree from any of university in USA ,(you need to write GRE, TOEFL etc). After degree from USA you will have 3 years of OPT, that is enough for you to find decent job. 3. Marry an US citizen , move to USA on spouse visa.

I'm lucky to be sitting in option B right now. After 4 years in Finance, I decided to switch jobs and I am now a Project Control analyst, hoping to become an associate project manager within 1 year or 2. I'm lucky to be surrounded by very competent people, so I have to take this opportunity to learn the most from them! I'm starting in option B, but after a couple years I'd like to work for a smaller company, as I feel this the place where you get the most experience from. Does anyone have experience working as freelance PM? Please share if yes! Cheers!
