Did anyone in the history of the universe pay $3200 for this material?
This seems to have become a āthingā on BoingBongā¦ NOW, FOR A LIMITED TIME, ALL THIS CAN BE YOURS FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF ____!!! Sad to think that the powers that be imagine us, the readers (the community?) are so dim-witted.
I miss the BoingBoing of yore.
Has anybody actually gone through the process, acquired this certification?
Seems like thereās a lot of money in being a PMPā¦
From what I hear, PMPing aināt easy
Even the idea of a project management certification doing anything for you ācareerā is really doubtful. Iām not saying that all of these certification programs are useless; they might actually teach you something for all I know. That said, the chances of a certification getting your resume out of the trashcan is essentially zero. There isnāt a person in the world who when looking at a resume gives two shits about a certification. They mean nothing.
Theyāre a keyword for HR departments to filter by.
If a company is looking to hire a project manager, the job listing may require a āPMP or X amount of years relevant experienceā. When HR goes to pass on the resumes to the hiring manager, if your resume doesnāt say PMP, you have less of a chance of being in that pile that gets called for interviews.
Once you get past that stage of the hiring process though, the certs are pretty much meaningless in the face of experience, personality, education, work style, etc.
Iāve never understood why you would want to use HR as your rĆ©sumĆ© inbox filter, aside from laziness. It might make sense for, like, large headcounts of unskilled labor, but for your own direct reporters? I wouldnāt want to work for anyone who shirked that, or themselves filtered on stupid easy barely-relevant criteria.
Itās hard out here for a PMPā¦
Many, if not most, medium or larger companies require you to go through HR for recruiting. Laziness isnāt a factor.
You donāt remember the ads in the zine offering you a handsome penknife if you could get 10 of your neighbors to subscribe?
Iām pretty sure this whole store is an elaborate troll by @beschizza.
I got the AWS tutorials sold about 5,6 weeks back, but Iāve only just started them.
If I wasnāt so skint, and so overbooked with things to study/do, Iād look into this one.
Ugh, management. Itās where the career path should lead, but the code, she beckonsā¦
