What would your recommendation be for a fresher as a PM, I am looking to get a job but most of the PM roles require you to be proficient in a specific industry to work as a PM for them in that industry. Is there a way to get a job any where with general understanding of a PM?

You can still make it. Be open to employers. I will recommend you look for positions like Junior PM, project coordinator, project analyst.. most important you can volunteer for projects at your current job and be part of it.. you can also join your local PMI chapter and volunteer for projects. You can add this to your resume as an experience. I will also suggest you get familiar with the documents used for different processes and stages of the project. Good luck an let me know if you need more clarity.

Continue to build your knowledge bank and build capacity in terms of projects. Like what I mentioned above in the other question. Create a portfolio of your projects and what you have been doing so far. Post the link on your LinkedIn. Be ready to talk about it and you may start as a Jr PM or project coordinator.. let me know if you have further questions.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
