👋 I’m not sure if this would get very far, but if there are ANY Project Managers out there that are needing an Assistant PM or any other entry level title for a PM, I would love to see if I would be a good fit. I’m also trying to get under the wing of a PM to show me the day to day life as an official PM. It has been pointed out that I actually have years of PM experience in a professional and non professional setting. If any PM’s out there want to take on a risk on me, you won’t regret it.

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.
