Hi, I got my PMP in February 2024. Here's what I did:

- Studied for 6 weeks, gave multiple mock tests
- Gave practice tests daily on my phone- Pocket Study Prep was the app (paid ~$20/month, get a quarterly subscription imo)
- Used Third3Rock notes to study- immensely helpful!

I personally found the book good for the basic fundaments. If I were to go back, I would not have wasted my time on the book. I would just do the mock tests. There are great resources on YouTube. Good luck!!!

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
