Isn't this the same for a college degree or any other training certification? When has any of these ever fully qualified someone for a specific role? Degrees and certifications indicate that the individual has foundational knowledge. In my experience working with many project and program managers on multiple multimillion-dollar projects, I've observed that they often lack an understanding of basic project management and stakeholder engagement. Given this, I would rather hire a PMP rookie who is eager to learn than someone with years of experience but limited understanding.

Great video. I always looked at the cert, not only as a proof of "journey-level" experience, but a tool to achieve the interview. Selling yourself is on you. Love this.

I have been a PM for 30 years, serving as PM, Sr PM, Program Manager, Portfolio Manager, PMO Director, Director of Operations and CEO. I am at the pinnacle of the industry and earn a top 3% six figure income, all without a PMP certification. I just passed the PMP exam for personal knowledge. Ray is spot on, I run into PMP certified PM’s all day long that cannot manage their way out of a wet paper bag. Trust me, if you fabricate your experience and secure a PMP based on that, without years of real PM exposure, you will be found out in less than 1 minute. There is no free lunch.

You make some valid points but the title of the video is Click Bait. Using your reasoning I can safely say that many of the people who do not have a PMP and profess to be great PMs are not. I could go on and on about how I have worked on several 100M dollar projects, and have worked in Asia and Europe on projects, and taught hundreds of aspiring PMs blah blah make good money and blah blah. No one cares. I am surprised that a CEO needs to validate himself on youtube. The CEOs and other leaders I interface with let the actions and outcomes speak for themselves. The fact that you are encountering PMP certified PMs all day means your organization's hiring practice need to be updated so you can find strong PMPs.

I am finding value in the PMP coursework and intend to become a project manager some day but now I am unsure if I should write the exam. A little bit of advice would help. (I meet all the criteria on PMI website).

I agree with you 1000% , I have seen the similar situation at my current Job ,people lack the experience and even when asking some very basic questions ( some of them cannot even answer those) Interviewers are smart they will know right away if you are just making up things. I saw at least 8 recent candidates who got dropped and never even made it to the second interview.

You should look out for opportunities in public sector at a non-profit because that is where your opportunity will be valued the most.

I agree I have interviewed project managers for my team and I can pretty much call out the ones that are book trained/ focused or actually have world world experience. The PMP tells me they have knowledge, but not the experience sometimes like I had someone who was a wedding planner to go into a IT PM role... Unfortunately I know she qualified but doesn't mean it can all transfer over

@@GregDalinYes, but not everyone can get assigned projects at their jobs to lead these initiatives, unless they are a project manager. I've been lucky to be part of projects where I've been involved in various aspects of the process groups, but haven't led every single project. In an interview, this would probably be a red flag because I and many other aspirants haven't led from start to finish on every project like what all these hiring managers expect.

I utilized my prior experience in Management and a coding bootcamp certification (knowledge of software development lifecycle workflows) to get my foot in the door. I learned the PM trade the hard way, but in the end persevered and delivered 4 projects in my 3+ years at my current employer. Now, with the perspective gained in my practical work experience, I am now in a position to take this certification, with my employer covering the cost to join the profession as a PMP certified Project Manager.

You didn't understand the reason for certifications. It is to make the life of recruiters who don't understand the to-be-filled job easier - not to learn something. If you want to learn something, you just take a course, read a book, gain real life experience. You don't need a certification for this.

Hi Ray, Thanks for this honest and surprisingly good video. I just clicked out of curiosity. I am a preparing for a PMP exam - well not in a hurry - and there are two reasons. #1: I am applying for a job that requires the certification as preferred. #2: It is useful to speak the same language with other PMs. I have experienced some misunderstandings in the past due to different PM "schools" and experience background of PMO members and a lot of time was spent just with clarification of terms and expressions. I want to avoid this in my new position. By the way, I find the PMBOK and the other material providing the knowledge for the exam quite useful. Congrats, this is a good video. 👏 I fully agree that a piece of paper will neither do the job for one, nor substitute the required experience.

You can tell he had no practical PM skils or business accumen. We were also connected on Linkedin and I dicovered that he didn't have any PM experience in his background! It kind of makes you wonder how he was able to get his application approved so he could sit for the exam!
