Hello everyone,

I’m seeking some advice. I’m currently pursuing my MHA and will be graduating this December. With over four years of professional experience and holding a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (as well as Green Belt), I’m considering whether obtaining a PMP or CPMP certification would enhance my prospects for securing an internship or an associate role. Given the current job market, do you think adding the PMP would be beneficial?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
