@@TheDinma1 hey girly, this video points you in the direction haha or if you’re jus done with uni, check out my graduate job video: it’s by far the quickest way to get into project management x
Hey , I just wanted to say thank you with yourhelpand another youtubers help I managed to get a Job as A project manager first time. Not to mention after a ten year gap of being unable to work due to disability. Your content is actually priceless xoxo
@@pitolinmotion hi..You seem to have nothing but positive reviews about how you helped people get their first role as a project manager. So far I have seen 4 positive reviews about your videos 😊😊. I just discovered your videos as I am also trying to break into Project Management. I am currently taking a project management course on coursera offered by Google. It is an entry level type of course and you get a Google certificate. I don't know if you're aware of it . Summary is I just wanted to say if you ever decided to create a course or consulting I am in because you have proven to do the work and helping people just with your RUclips video 😊❤. Great job! Keep it up!🎉🎉
Hey there! And thanks for dropping this kind comment. It means a lot and encourages me to keep going. And funnily enough, I am working on a pm course right now. Hopefully to be ready by end of June! Also I’m very familiar with the google project management cert. I’m actively collabing with coursera atm, I think it’s a good one for beginners so keep going and also focus on how you have demonstrate the skills required for project management. Take care !
@Pitol In Motion You're welcome!😊😊😍😍💕 Another thing I have seen about you is your interactions with your subscribers😍. You reply to almost if not all our comments, and that is awesome 😍. You look genuine and truly want to help people succeed. You'll become an authority , expert or go to person for Project Management on RUclips if keep going with all this positive reviews below your comments and that will keep bringing more people to your channel for those interested in Project management😊. Trust me, you're doing well😍. I have never seen such positive feedback or reviews about videos on RUclips 😍💕. That is a sign you're doing the right thing, and I encourage you to keep going bc you just never know whose life you're changing through your videos ❤️💕. I can't wait for you to share with is what PM course you're taking, why you decided to do it, what it will do for your career. What you learned and how to help others do the same😍. Lastly, I can not wait for your collaboration with coursera about their project management course😍. I am subscring right away😘. I forgot to do so. I just discovered your channel yesterday😍.
Girl you are just the sweetest and kindest 🤗❤️ honestly thank you. Comments like this really do make my day. So thanks for taking the time to encourage me. All the best with your PM journey, im sure you’ll do great. And thanks for the sub ! x
I would definitely like to see a breakdown on the more relevant foundational certifications and which sector they apply more to (scrum, kanban, agile methods etc)
Wow. You killed it here. I’m interviewing for a project manager 1 at my company. I passed my pmp test with minor project experience. You’ve given me some hope I can start moving forward with my goal.
I too have minimal work experience and would like to do the PMP exam. Is it possible for you to share with me how you would have coin your experiences on the PMP application form....i need the help asap. I want to do it later in this year. Please help me.
Hello Pitol, I found your channel the night before yesterday. I was preparing for an interview in Project Management, that was held yesterday. I was successful , and was offered the position. I do not have any PM experience, but do have a lot of transferable experience and skills, and a lot of stakeholder engagement from my current role. I’m really pleased and looking forward to it. Thank you for your content and I’m looking forward to exploring it further.
This video is so ridiculously informative and helpful like I am SHOOKethhhh. I am so so so grateful I came across your channel. Thank you so much sis. It is motivating to see people that look like me if thriving in this role.. gives me hope and makes me optimistic about switching fields.. all the best, sounds like you're smashing it so far and I love that for you :)
🥺🥰 thanks so much hun, your actually too kind and this is really encouraging! I don’t wonna get more people like us in PMing, I think it’s a great career path. All the best with your transition 🎉💖
Where have you been all my life 😂 honestly I have been binge watching your channel for over an hour….enjoyed the way you make it so so relatable, I started my journey into PM last year,but burnt out really quickly, information overload amongst other personal issues and I was like this isn’t for me, but watching your videos has got me motivated to go back, thanks for keeping it real🙏
Thanks for the tips. I am a project coordinator and I deal with stakeholders, risks and issues, action logs, budgets , chairing of meetings and much more. I am trying to get a project managers role. With these tips I think I will be ok. I am also working towards my Prince2 Practitioner qualifications. Paid for by my company NHS.
Woo you go girl! Amazing that you’re taking the next step in your career, I’m so here for it: and so glad you got your company to pay for your exams. That’s a great move. All the best 🎉
I just stumbled on this video and I'm impressed! As a recent graduate with no experience related to my potential career (Business Analysis), your video is really helpful because I will now have to look out for related entry level BA/PM opportunities. Your comment section is what we love to see😚.....quite engaging.. Thanks for being able to reply to as much questions as you can. Great info!
I've been watching your videos preparing for my first PM interview within my company tomorrow!! I've been in recruiting and compliance for 15yrs so I think the skills are transferable. Thank you for all your pointers in your videos! It's a PM role at the credit union I work at so fingers crossed!
Hey doll, I work in recruitment aswell and wanted to ask what were the key transferable skills you put down as I am looking to transition into pm also xx
I’m going to say this: I really was on a path to project management and have worked as a project coordinator mostly with some experience managing projects *Also, watch the Project Coordinator role as well, companies are using Coordinators nowadays to Manage projects. I know this isn’t the field for me anymore. I’m in the process of rethinking my entire career at 45. Project Management is not what it use to be. Terms keep evolving and depending on the industry that you work in, Project Management can be very stressful! So please everyone do your research and before you truly go deep in the waters, see if this is a field that you even want to consider. The new Project Management terms that are hot in today’s world are: Agile and Scrum. Agile is more of a mindset on how to get a project completed and Scrum is a framework used to get a project done. But you still have companies operating under Hybrid (combination of Traditional and Agile). Everyone have so many videos on becoming a Project Manager because the pay is very lucrative, but what people aren’t telling you is that people are leaving this field. It can be very very stressful. Especially if you work for large corporations within Automotive, Healthcare, Utility companies, Telecommunications. There can be very long hours, difficult stakeholders/leaders on a project, and at the end of the day, if anything goes wrong during the project or any phase, example you’re testing a new application installation in an Oncology department where they have live patients and the application breaks…but the department still have patients for appointments that day; if the project team can’t get the application back up in time, this could cost you your job. *Rare case but this type of thing does happen. So not discouraging you, but please make sure you have a true passion for project management. At the end of the day, you can obtain all the certifications and get the job and hate it.
Hey thanks for your comment! Totally agree. It’s not for everyone. I’ve done a video on the pros and cons, and the stress, and everything being your fault is defo 2 of the cons. That being said. Project management is evolving and will always be around. Although not in the traditional way. I still think it’s a great career path for those that can hack it :)
I wanted to let you know that you really helped me decide whether Project Management was a potential career for me. In September 2022 I started watching your videos and I even shared them with a friend. I literally went from no job with no PM experience to a Project Admin role 3 months later. It gets better… At the same time I applied for a Project Admin role I applied for a PM grad role to start in 2023. Sis bagged it (by the grace of God) and now I really enjoy what I do. Thank you for being committed to sharing your experiences and encouraging others! May God continue to use you and bless others and in return may you be blessed! 🙌🏾
🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 thank you so so much for taking the time to come back and share this beautiful testimony. A huge congratulations on securing your admin role and your graduate role! You’ve done the hard work here, and I’m very proud of you. I wish you the very best in your pm journey !
Wow, haha, I simply loved your vet joke! You are responsible for one more innocent laugh and therefore for a great first impression of your channel. :)))
This is brilliant! I have a wedding florist small business which definitely ticks this box as I have to budget, manage people who will help me and ofcourse timelines, while also communicating with my other vendors like chair deliveries and collection. I just don’t know if I should put my business or side hustle on my CV and how to word it.
Hey, I think it depends on the size and complexity of the business. Wording is critical. If you’re unsure defo sit down with a professional to help you
I'm super happy I find your channel. I'm currently a RN now looking to transition from bedside nursing into project management in the Healthcare industry. Your videos are super helpful and your personality is beautiful....I hear an accent in there too....Jamaica? I just signed up for Google Introduction to Project Management Certificate course. I'm hoping this will help me get a solid foundation from which I can develop the confidence I need before starting to look for jobs. Thanks again for this series!!!
Haha thanks lovely ! I’m actually Nigerian! Born and raised in England haha. Thanks for supporting the channel ! Keep at it you’re role is on the way ✨🙌🏾
Wow, this is me currently. I'm a RN beside (which I hate) looking to transform into a new career. Please do share how you get on. Thank you. I'm looking at doing the ITIL 4 foundation course
Hello! I want to say thank you for this video. I am currently in this weird relationship between identity crisis, questioning my competence and potential job ideas. PM was one of these. Your video helped me to understand that I do like ideas of PM and tasks of PM, but ultimately the whole package is not for me. That was really helpful as, to me, ditching something out of my brain also feels like progress. So thanks for that!
your smile again nailed the intro and awesome content for people looking for a PM role in career without any prior experiences. Thanks Creator for this amazing video.
Thank you very much for this valuable information. I have started taking some project management courses as I am transitioning to a new career. I will definitely focus on building a strong foundation.
I stumbled upon your video yesterday & loved it!! I can’t wait to learn more, wish I had found you 3 yrs ago😂. I got hired as a project manager 🇬🇧 with no experience straight after my MSc & have loved the role. All I had was a PM module in my BSc & MSc 😊 Just been headhunted to another PM role with 2.5x the pay. Self-taught & now preparing to do my APM & PRINCE2 qualifications in May, which will 🚀 my salary. Your videos are so enriching & to the point. Yes, it’s possible to start without experience.
Ah! I am your 3k like!! Yay! LOL Juts want to say I love your video! I usually pass British videos because some are hard for me to understand, but you are easy to understand! Thank you for that!
Yes, I'd like to see a PM 101 RUclips Video, bec. I would be combining My PM skills with My Sr. Legal skills; and, I need to know how the PM genre, overlaps with the Legal field. Yes, I would to see a comprehensive PM 101 video by You. And, You seem so passionate about Your subject matter. How totally refreshing. MRD
Love this! Love your energy Pitol and your enthusiasm for what you do really came through. I'm reentering the (paid!) workforce after a 4-year career-break raising my two babies and now wanting to upskill and pivot into project management (educational background and prior work experience is in public health and administration). Your video was very helpful as an intro to PM and setting realistic expectations. I look forward to watching more of your PM content!
So glad I stumbled onto this Video so helpful, I see so many video's of male project managers so such a nice change and something more relatable. I've already signed up to a course but I have subscribed for more tips & tricks as I need it.
Hello Pitol in Motion, your videos are so informative and helpful. I'm transitioning from working in IT to being a PM, and so your perspective, as you have stated you worked in IT, and transitioned to being a PM, is so valuable. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos!!!! So awesome!
Hey! Happy you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for tuning it 🤗 and just to clarify, I’m a PM working in IT. IT is the industry. So you can work in IT, retail, construction etc and be a project manager 😊
No problem! Happy it helps, and sure thing! Would love to do that, and perhaps some tips on things to focus on when you first start out in project management. I’ve only been working as a PM for 4 years haha but have moved but I have worked on a lot of projects in that time :) stay tuned! Coming soonish !
@@pitolinmotion Will love you to be my personal tutor in project management. I have done some online courses watching ur tuturial intensively. I feel I need a one on one teacher. How do we go about it? I await your kind response please.
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Organizational Leadership and there is an option to get a graduate certificate, one of the options is Project Management. I would love to learn more about what Project Management is, and what kind of tasks they perform. You are so knowledgeable and I know you could make a great video on this!
Very informative video. Straight to the point but detailed. I’m transitioning career from a manufacturing manager to either scrum master or project management. Currently have my CSM
Well done Ire, you are so awesome in everything that you do in here. Can you please teach more on project execution and monitoring/control with templates? Look forward to hearing from you. Once again, good job.
Hey John , thanks so much! I’m actually creating a course that will cover all of this. Working on it now! So hopefully it will be ready in H2 stay posted !
@@pitolinmotion You are a darling, and i will look forward to have it as im patiently waiting for the video. I'm just transitioning into tech and I will share the testimony with you when I get into the project management role as I'm about to end a project management bootcamp this month.
As someone that works in a Project Delivery role these pointers are spot on. Agile and Prince2 courses are good for IT / Tech industry. APMP courses are good for construction industry. But as you say take on the Foundational level of these courses as they are relatively cheaper and give you the basic knowledge. Great video.
Thanks Ade! Glad that you think the video is helpful. And also nice to get some validation from someone else in the project delivery field 🎉🙌🏾. Defo agree with you. It’s super important that you have an understanding of what field / delivery you want to go into and do before you start putting down money for courses! Some courses are really just not appropriate for some types of delivery !
Hey, I presume you’re referring to going into project management in those industries and in that case, sorry but I’m not sure! But for pm courses it’s best to focus on the type of delivery method you’ll be doing in that industry (waterfall / agile) rather than the industry
Hey Marc, I wouldn’t put my cv/ resume out on the internet like that lol , but will do a video on pm cvs soonish. Feel free to hit me up on IG and happy to have a look at yours with you :)
Hello I like the simplicity of how you explained it though my very first time of hearing about it a friend just shared with me. Can you please do a more detailed video on what PM is about? Thank you. Regards Joy
Thank you so much for sharing such important information with us. I'm looking for a role in project management. Can u please share where I can find it in Liverpool, UK??
You are such a delight, just watching this put me in a very good mood, i've been a purchasing manager for 3 years, in a small company and now i look forward to switch to bigger companies, and since i didnt study any of this ( i have bachelor's degree in Chemistry), so i'm looking up videos to learn more about my options, i believe that i can actually do this, but step by step as you advised, thank you for this !
The issue with being in the roles before the pm role is that once your in thrm roles no1 will give you a chance unless you’re connected. If you can land a pm do it.
I disagree, there are promotions and jumps up from other organisations also. They key really is to work as a pm or at least at a level that you are getting some what end to end experience from your current entry level role and to translate that well on your cv and sell yourself
Thank you! Glad I found this video. I've been performing project manager duties for years as a social worker and technically never had the "project manager" title. It's all how we word things. Let me go redo my CV. Taking notes.
I'm currently on my second year of a Business Management degree, midway through our project management module, and I'm really enjoying the subject. Thank you for this insightful video, it's opened my eyes up to getting a role when I graduate next year 👏🏻
Thank you for this video I found your video at the right time in my life right now as I am in the middle of changing career…..wish I located your channel sooner
Thank you ☺️ sure thing, you can book a 1-2-1 consulting session with me through my website. Www.pitolinmotion.com/services . Info and prices available. Just fill in the form and I’ll get back to you shortly
Thanks so much for this video, I learnt foundations of projects management on Coursera but couldn't get the certificate. I was getting discouraged but u just encouraged me. Thanks I will just start applying for PM supportive roles once am done with my youth service and I hope to get better at it and become a PM in a good organization pretty soon
I'd love for you to go over the different styles of project management (scrum Vs agile etc) and talk about which are most commonly used in different industries. I really enjoyed the style of the video and am looking forward to more!
@@pitolinmotion Your suggestion about updating a CV with project work was most helpful. I have never been a PM however I do have project related work which is now highlighted on my CV.
@@pitolinmotion Thank you. I was asked a lot of technical questions. It went well for the most part. I was trusting God. I will let you know if I get it or not. I was catching up on your other videos.
By 4:00, you summed up a confirmation for me. I have diverse technology experience but since I'm probably seeking a new industry I thought I could get in through project management to utilize my diverse skillset. Instead, most employers don't get it and get entirely into the weeds with tools (Jira, MS Project, Monday) or particular process (printed circuit board, test, sw)...it doesn't matter, I get it done. I couldn't convince a guy last week and then just got a call from the president. I'm hoping and thinking that HE gets it, but his lieutenant didn't.
Hey! I hope he gets it too! Sometimes it is hard to prove yourself, but honestly I feel like when it comes to pm tools. You can actually just learn how to use them on RUclips in 2 days! That shouldn’t be a blocker. As for processes and tech stuff, I guess that depends on how specialised they want that pm. But once again, you can actually learn all of that on the go imo. Anyways, all the best! I hope you get the role 🤞🏾
Thank you so much i just get familiar with your channel and oMG it is so great and thank you for your hight energy i am so glad that i was searching for a person how speaks about project management and i found youu
I am starting my my PM masters this September and I’m ngl this video here has removed any doubt I had about how to get a PM job without experience. Thank you v much @pitolinmotion I now have a crystal clear idea of how I’m going to do to become a PM.

🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 thank you so so much for taking the time to come back and share this beautiful testimony. A huge congratulations on securing your admin role and your graduate role! You’ve done the hard work here, and I’m very proud of you. I wish you the very best in your pm journey !
Wow, haha, I simply loved your vet joke! You are responsible for one more innocent laugh and therefore for a great first impression of your channel. :)))
Aww thanks 🤗 really nice for you to say! Thanks for dropping the comment and the support
This is brilliant!
I have a wedding florist small business which definitely ticks this box as I have to budget, manage people who will help me and ofcourse timelines, while also communicating with my other vendors like chair deliveries and collection. I just don’t know if I should put my business or side hustle on my CV and how to word it.
Hey, I think it depends on the size and complexity of the business. Wording is critical. If you’re unsure defo sit down with a professional to help you
I'm super happy I find your channel. I'm currently a RN now looking to transition from bedside nursing into project management in the Healthcare industry. Your videos are super helpful and your personality is beautiful....I hear an accent in there too....Jamaica?
I just signed up for Google Introduction to Project Management Certificate course.
I'm hoping this will help me get a solid foundation from which I can develop the confidence I need before starting to look for jobs. Thanks again for this series!!!
Haha thanks lovely ! I’m actually Nigerian! Born and raised in England haha. Thanks for supporting the channel ! Keep at it you’re role is on the way ✨🙌🏾
Wow, this is me currently. I'm a RN beside (which I hate) looking to transform into a new career. Please do share how you get on. Thank you. I'm looking at doing the ITIL 4 foundation course
I'm interested in seeing the breakdown you promised. I have no experience but I love to have a career in it.
What breakdown?
Hello! I want to say thank you for this video. I am currently in this weird relationship between identity crisis, questioning my competence and potential job ideas. PM was one of these. Your video helped me to understand that I do like ideas of PM and tasks of PM, but ultimately the whole package is not for me. That was really helpful as, to me, ditching something out of my brain also feels like progress. So thanks for that!
Amazing! So glad this video has helped you with some career clarity! And I hope you find something more aligned to you soon!
Just wanted to say thank you for this breakdown, so informative.
Thank you :)
“Project management activities “, ya got me!!! IM SOLD!!
😅😅😅😅😅 yesss! Jump on board! Ain’t nothing a bit of good wording can’t fix 😏😏
your smile again nailed the intro and awesome content for people looking for a PM role in career without any prior experiences. Thanks Creator for this amazing video.
Thank you 🤗🤗✨
Thank you very much for this valuable information. I have started taking some project management courses as I am transitioning to a new career. I will definitely focus on building a strong foundation.
🎉🎉 thanks for watching ☺️🤗
I stumbled upon your video yesterday & loved it!! I can’t wait to learn more, wish I had found you 3 yrs ago😂. I got hired as a project manager 🇬🇧 with no experience straight after my MSc & have loved the role. All I had was a PM module in my BSc & MSc 😊 Just been headhunted to another PM role with 2.5x the pay. Self-taught & now preparing to do my APM & PRINCE2 qualifications in May, which will 🚀 my salary. Your videos are so enriching & to the point. Yes, it’s possible to start without experience.
Amazing ! Thanks for sharing your story! And I think this will be a great encouragement to many others that are hoping to get into PM ✨✨
Ah! I am your 3k like!! Yay! LOL Juts want to say I love your video! I usually pass British videos because some are hard for me to understand, but you are easy to understand! Thank you for that!
Ah that’s great, thank you 🤗🤗🤗
I HAVE A TASK FOR JUNIOR PM POSITION TODAY. WISH ME LUCKKKK. SO LUCKY TO FIND THIS VIDEO BEFORE MY ASSIGNMENT!!!!!!

Love this! Love your energy Pitol and your enthusiasm for what you do really came through. I'm reentering the (paid!) workforce after a 4-year career-break raising my two babies and now wanting to upskill and pivot into project management (educational background and prior work experience is in public health and administration). Your video was very helpful as an intro to PM and setting realistic expectations. I look forward to watching more of your PM content!
Whoop whoop, you go girl x you’ve got this. And thank you! I wish you the very best with your transition back into paid work :)
@@pitolinmotion Thank you 🫶
So glad I stumbled onto this Video so helpful, I see so many video's of male project managers so such a nice change and something more relatable. I've already signed up to a course but I have subscribed for more tips & tricks as I need it.
Amazing! Thanks for watching lovely and subscribing, I appreciate the support 🥰
Hello Pitol in Motion, your videos are so informative and helpful. I'm transitioning from working in IT to being a PM, and so your perspective, as you have stated you worked in IT, and transitioned to being a PM, is so valuable. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos!!!! So awesome!
Hey! Happy you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for tuning it 🤗 and just to clarify, I’m a PM working in IT. IT is the industry. So you can work in IT, retail, construction etc and be a project manager 😊
Project Management Queen👸 . Thank you so much for the insight and building my confidence 🤜💪
Thank you lovely 🙌🏾🤗
Thank you beautiful! Yes I would like you to drop a video on projects 101. I'm new in the system still trying to find my ways around PM.
Thank you! Already out ☺️ check out - project management basics part 1&2
I just love your vibe! Thank you for this detailed information.

Amazing information. You are good at what you deliver. So easy to comprehend. Thank you.
Thank you ☺️
Literally within the first SECOND I fell in love with your personality ☝🏾subscribe
😅🥰 thank you girly , you the sweetest x
Thank you for the advice. Would be great to hear your journey/experience and roles that you took to get where you are.
No problem! Happy it helps, and sure thing! Would love to do that, and perhaps some tips on things to focus on when you first start out in project management. I’ve only been working as a PM for 4 years haha but have moved but I have worked on a lot of projects in that time :) stay tuned! Coming soonish !
@@pitolinmotion Will love you to be my personal tutor in project management. I have done some online courses watching ur tuturial intensively. I feel I need a one on one teacher. How do we go about it?
I await your kind response please.
Hey! I offer consulting and coaching at a fee, details about this will be on my ig shortly, so look out for that 😊
Registering with Cornell PMP program soon. Your content was great!
Thanks! lol these best with that too
this is so good, very good advices shared! thank you!
@@crystalcleargirl07 fab stuff
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Organizational Leadership and there is an option to get a graduate certificate, one of the options is Project Management. I would love to learn more about what Project Management is, and what kind of tasks they perform. You are so knowledgeable and I know you could make a great video on this!
Hey lovely! I already have videos on this :) check out the PM playlist for more x
This was so so helpful!!! Thank you so much girl
Thank so much honey! Glad the vid was helpful! And haha the passion big defo helps for when it gets rough defo!
Good clip am planning going into project management engineering
Very informative video. Straight to the point but detailed. I’m transitioning career from a manufacturing manager to either scrum master or project management. Currently have my CSM
Hey sis! And thank you 🤗😊, nice! All the best with your transition into PM/scrum 🎉
Well done Ire, you are so awesome in everything that you do in here. Can you please teach more on project execution and monitoring/control with templates? Look forward to hearing from you. Once again, good job.
Hey John , thanks so much! I’m actually creating a course that will cover all of this. Working on it now! So hopefully it will be ready in H2 stay posted !
@@pitolinmotion You are a darling, and i will look forward to have it as im patiently waiting for the video. I'm just transitioning into tech and I will share the testimony with you when I get into the project management role as I'm about to end a project management bootcamp this month.
That’s great news if I’m honest; the course won’t be around for a while, it’s a lot of work, but I am working on it which is good :)
This is sooooooo helpful! Love your energy!
Ah amazing, so happy it was helpful. And thank you baby girl ❤️✨
You just earned a new follower 🎉. Very educative piece 👏 thank you 😊
Thank you! I appreciate the sub ! And glad the video was useful to you 🤗
As someone that works in a Project Delivery role these pointers are spot on. Agile and Prince2 courses are good for IT / Tech industry. APMP courses are good for construction industry.
But as you say take on the Foundational level of these courses as they are relatively cheaper and give you the basic knowledge.
Great video.
Thanks Ade! Glad that you think the video is helpful. And also nice to get some validation from someone else in the project delivery field 🎉🙌🏾. Defo agree with you. It’s super important that you have an understanding of what field / delivery you want to go into and do before you start putting down money for courses! Some courses are really just not appropriate for some types of delivery !
What course would be required for those who really food technology and manufacturing
Hey, I presume you’re referring to going into project management in those industries and in that case, sorry but I’m not sure! But for pm courses it’s best to focus on the type of delivery method you’ll be doing in that industry (waterfall / agile) rather than the industry
Hello could you please do a more in depth video on what project management is?
Sure thing! I’ve been meaning to do this. Stay locked and I’ll get one on the way within the next month x
Could you link us with your resume and or template to use as a guide to update ours? Or could you help me fix mine?
Hey Marc, I wouldn’t put my cv/ resume out on the internet like that lol , but will do a video on pm cvs soonish. Feel free to hit me up on IG and happy to have a look at yours with you :)
@@pitolinmotion I completely understand and I wouldn’t ever suggest to do that lol. What is your ig I’ll reach out there.
@@Mxrclxrk it’s the same as YT @pitolinmotion . Talk to you soon !
I’m studying for the PMP and I’d like to eventually get into the tech industry ☺️this video was helpful
Great! Happy you found it useful. All the best with your PMP qual babe x
thank you so much and i love how you explain ! love your energy :-) thank you!!
🤗🤗🤗thanks for watching !
Thank you SO much! This is so helpful and so relatable. Your charisma and clarity is awesome! :)
Thank you 🤗
Hello I like the simplicity of how you explained it though my very first time of hearing about it a friend just shared with me. Can you please do a more detailed video on what PM is about? Thank you.
Regards
Joy
Hey Joy thank you ! And I’ve already done this so just check it out in the project management playlist :)
@@pitolinmotion Thanks for getting back I will definitely do. Cheers!
Girl thank thank thank thank you for this video
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙌🏾
I have a big responsibility tomorrow
You just made Me feel better
Love to hear it! All the best 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing such important information with us. I'm looking for a role in project management. Can u please share where I can find it in Liverpool, UK??
You are such a delight, just watching this put me in a very good mood, i've been a purchasing manager for 3 years, in a small company and now i look forward to switch to bigger companies, and since i didnt study any of this ( i have bachelor's degree in Chemistry), so i'm looking up videos to learn more about my options, i believe that i can actually do this, but step by step as you advised, thank you for this !
You got this sis! ✨🎉 it may be a transition , but I think it’s well worth it, just need to plan it out . Thank you for the support :)
@@pitolinmotion Thank you ! ❤
You have done wonders with this video.
😅😅😅 thank you 🎉🎉🙌🏾
The issue with being in the roles before the pm role is that once your in thrm roles no1 will give you a chance unless you’re connected. If you can land a pm do it.
I disagree, there are promotions and jumps up from other organisations also. They key really is to work as a pm or at least at a level that you are getting some what end to end experience from your current entry level role and to translate that well on your cv and sell yourself
it will be very interesting to break down the various qualifications/certifications please...
Hey. Sorry not an expert on this, but I have done a few videos on courses
Thanks for this, I've been looking to switch to PM and this has motivated me😊
🙌🏾🙏🏾
Love the way you talk❤love your energy❤ thank youuuu❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you! Glad I found this video. I've been performing project manager duties for years as a social worker and technically never had the "project manager" title. It's all how we word things. Let me go redo my CV. Taking notes.
🙌🏾✨
I'm currently on my second year of a Business Management degree, midway through our project management module, and I'm really enjoying the subject. Thank you for this insightful video, it's opened my eyes up to getting a role when I graduate next year 👏🏻
Love that, and no probs! Check out my video on grad roles should help you when you’re applying next year! And apply early !
@@pitolinmotion thank you, I will!
Thank you!!

Have been so skeptical on which to do foundation or practitioner, thank you I got the road map .

Thanks so much for this video, I learnt foundations of projects management on Coursera but couldn't get the certificate. I was getting discouraged but u just encouraged me. Thanks I will just start applying for PM supportive roles once am done with my youth service and I hope to get better at it and become a PM in a good organization pretty soon
🙌🏾 sounds like a good approach. All the best !
Good approach
Wish you all the best. I’m currently on course 2: project initiation on Coursera
I'd love for you to go over the different styles of project management (scrum Vs agile etc) and talk about which are most commonly used in different industries.
I really enjoyed the style of the video and am looking forward to more!
Hiya, great suggestion! Will defo do this soon, got lots of contact ideas I'm working through so bare with me :)
Excellent! Very interesting to watch with super practical tips. Thank you for posting
You are welcome! Hope they really do help 😊
Thank you, this has been very helpful as someone with very little project management experience
No problemo . Happy it has helped ! 😊
@@pitolinmotion Your suggestion about updating a CV with project work was most helpful. I have never been a PM however I do have project related work which is now highlighted on my CV.
That’s a brilliant lecture, I would be interested in PM basic knowledge and breakdown please
Thank you
Hey thanks: and it’s already out :) just look in the PM folder
@@pitolinmotion fab! Thanks
Thank you for this information. I have a PM interview this morning.
Amazing ! Hope the interview goes well ! Keep me updated :)
@@pitolinmotion Thank you. I was asked a lot of technical questions. It went well for the most part. I was trusting God. I will let you know if I get it or not. I was catching up on your other videos.
Fingers crossed girly x
Amazing video. The most helpful one I have came across
Thank you 🥰🤗 glad it helped
So real, good advice. Good charisma. Thank you for this.
Thank you 🤗
By 4:00, you summed up a confirmation for me. I have diverse technology experience but since I'm probably seeking a new industry I thought I could get in through project management to utilize my diverse skillset. Instead, most employers don't get it and get entirely into the weeds with tools (Jira, MS Project, Monday) or particular process (printed circuit board, test, sw)...it doesn't matter, I get it done. I couldn't convince a guy last week and then just got a call from the president. I'm hoping and thinking that HE gets it, but his lieutenant didn't.
Hey! I hope he gets it too! Sometimes it is hard to prove yourself, but honestly I feel like when it comes to pm tools. You can actually just learn how to use them on RUclips in 2 days! That shouldn’t be a blocker. As for processes and tech stuff, I guess that depends on how specialised they want that pm. But once again, you can actually learn all of that on the go imo. Anyways, all the best! I hope you get the role 🤞🏾
This video was very helpful! Clear and concise. Thank you!
🤗🤗🥰
Thank you so much i just get familiar with your channel and oMG it is so great and thank you for your hight energy i am so glad that i was searching for a person how speaks about project management and i found youu

Great video! Thanks for posting this…
I just got to know you channel yesterday and I'm just starting out a career in project management and I think I will be sleeping here🥺
🎉
Please do a video on the qualifications that are right for IT or any other
Hey, only really focus on general pm. Sorry !
I am starting my my PM masters this September and I’m ngl this video here has removed any doubt I had about how to get a PM job without experience. Thank you v much @pitolinmotion I now have a crystal clear idea of how I’m going to do to become a PM.
