Attn CONSULTANTS. I know you're in here. I need your input.
I consider my title and role to align to consulting, I just happen to do it in-house for one particular industry/company. I'm a process improvement and project management professional with a decade+ of experience. I can make a mean PowerPoint and analyze big data. But I'm NOT making the kind of money I hear coming out of the consulting firms. Does my work history transfer as competitive in your companies and are you hiring?

PMP Cert question, if anyone has insight: For first time PMP certification, do you have to do a certification boot camp or similar style course? Or, if my employer offers Skillsoft modules that say they count as PMI PDUs, can I just take 35 hours of those courses and submit that on my application?

Hello. I recently got my PMP certification last year, and have been in the events/marketing project side for the last 10 years. I’ve created a lot of my own templates, budgets, timelines, comms, etc. for projects, but does anyone have any templates they’ve found that they love or would recommend? TIA
