My wife works in communications. She wants to break in project management and is looking to get some certifications. Is it best to start with PMP and are there ones from certain places that are more highly regarded? Any advice is appreciated.

PMP shows hiring managers that you have knowledge of the processes and needs of a PM role. Without any PM experience it doesn’t mean much, but it does show you can learn as it is not a BS cert.

I took a Scrum Master course once and not only did it feel like a waste of time it made me question anyone who has a CSM. But I took an A-CSM course from another outfit and I learned a ton. My thought is that if I was hiring I wouldn’t look at a first cert as meaning much by itself. Also, CSM only really matters if you are looking to get into tech.

Trying to find recruiting firms to help me find my next project / program management role. I'm struggling to determine which firms can help with PM roles AND I'm struggling to get the ones I do find to respond to me.

It may have something to do where I'm at in my career - 15+ years of PM experience & director-level roles at my last 2 companies - so more exec level but not quite C-Suite. Have one-off recruiters hitting me up on LinkedIn about contract PM roles but that's not what I want.
