I am targeting roles in Project Coordination and Project Management and am looking for any advice on standing out in the application process. I don't have formal training or certifications as a PM but my experience for the last 5 years has been supporting the creation of project deliverables for a lighting manufacturer, working closely with Landscape Architects, Electrical Engineers, Contractors and coordinating with construction schedules. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.

You need to taylor your resume for the roles you want by focusing on the skills and knowledge you have that you can transfer. Also check out Ken Colemans podcast, youtube, and books. His focus is what you are asking about.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I have total 9years of experience in IT.. My spoken english is not that much good. Not too bad also.. In future should i face any problem for that?

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
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.
