Hi all, Currently studying towards my APM PMQ and getting a bit confused on how to answer describe vs explain questions. I have heard the describe a bike vs explain a bike example but it still seems vague when applied to exams. For example, how would you answer describe the change request process vs explain the change request process? Any help would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/Chonky2021 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I've read multiple articles by Microsoft, yet still I can't fully grasp the different Project versions and what to expect from them. Please help me. There is Project for the web, which is modern and slim, I guess? There is Project Online, which also has a desktop client, and it's a bit older and has more functions. There is the "local and standalone" software Project for Windows, which has the most features, but isn't very well equipped with web features. Is that correct so far? Now please help me understand: Which of the three is the most "future proof" for project managers to be? The wa ..read more

Small rant, but I got the Google PM certificate and been studying on the side for the CAPM, but as of now since August I've gone through 1k job apps. Granted this is a career change attempt from a restaurant gig, and I'm averaging about 20-30 apps a day. I had my resume looked at and they said it looked fine for what I have. Been looking mostly assistant, junior, scheduler, and coordinator positions, am I doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated, even bad at this point. submitted by /u/Froggsworth [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi there, I have nearly a decade's worth of experience in account and renewal management and having been recently laid off from my tech job, I'm at a crossroads. I am exhausted by the renewals/AM grind and considering more of a CSM role, but I've also always been interested in getting my PM certification. My question is- do my years of professional experience qualify me for the PMP cert or do I need to start with CAPM? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/PuddingSuspicious [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Short backstory, For the last 15 years I've worked as a manager in fine-dining restaurants while travelling a lot. A few months ago I figured it's time to take things seriously, so I got a daytime job, I tried my hand at my second passion, IT. I found a job as an IT engineer which suited me. Then a colleague who I guess was managing a few projects was fired and they asked if I could take over her tasks until they found a suitable replacement. After 4 months they said I was great in this job and asked if I wanted it. I said sure and they got a new IT engineer instead. However I feel a little b ..read more
