Creator breaks down PMP certificationfrom @findfulfillingwork

Is the project management certificate worth it? I got the PMP, which is the most recognized one about a year ago, so here's what I think. So my reasoning was that I just wanna improve my resume, and every job I've had has had project management in it it even though that's never been my job title. It took me about five weeks of studying, and in total, it worst about $575. So there's a full price rank the membership price to become a better. It worst, like, around a $165. So you do save a little bit if you just become a member for a year. I didn't pay for any sort of study materials. All I did was look at this guy's video. His name is Max Mao. And in the description, he has a link to a Google doc, which has the study good, and I just used that for about five weeks. You have about four hours to take the test. I decided to take it in person because I knew I would just be way too distracted in my apartment, and it took me about three hours to finish the exam. I did pass it in the first try. I did not wanna have to retake that exam. I have gotten a job since getting the PMP, and I don't think it's what got me the job. You know, tailoring your resume and prepping for the interview, that's what'll get you the job. But I do think it helped me get paid a little bit more because HR takes into account these legitimate certifications when they're deciding how much they should pay you. And there's tons of certifications, not all of them are recognized by companies, but this one for sure is because it's been around for at least about fifty years now. So I do think think this is worth the investment. You no, in total, it was $575 and about a month of study. And, ultimately, I did think I got that investment bad. And when compared to other things you can do, you know, going to get a degree or something like that, this is totally worth the investment.
