CAPM is a really good stepping stone especially if you want to get your feet wet in the world of project management. It leads to jobs such as project assistants and analysts. Having said that, you should certainly focus your efforts on gaining practical work experience rather than being caught up in writing the exam. In the end, those three letters are more of a double-edge sword.
At the end of the day, nothing beats a day's shift slinging espresso and serving people their gluten-free vegan baked goods.  |
I just want to be a PiMP...
