I have experience in web development, QA testing, and some project management (not officially as a role but in the nature of work I've done in the past). The last few roles I've had were Business Systems Analyst, Associate Developer, and now Consultant. How can I get my foot into product management? Are there degrees or certs that can boost me on paper? I'm not very good at selling myself.

If you want to move to columbus ohio, our team will have a product manager position open in January. And from this brief background, you’d be a great fit

This is great to hear! Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to move to Ohio but your reply is very reassuring that I may be able to get my foot in the door with the experience I have. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I had a major surgery and am looking to find a remote position involving anything that isn’t 100% commission based or cold calling/agent positions. Looking to make $25-35 an hour, and have had long term positions such as Clinical Secretary & Receptionist/Administrator, Accounts Payable Clerk, Team Lead, and Sales Associate. I’m willing to try new things and am a very quick learner, and can handle multitasking and high pace. Does anyone know of any good work from home positions?
