This is a great breakdown of the project coordinator role. To get started as a project coordinator, a great option would be a course like Diploma in Project Coordination or Associate in Project Management. It’s the easiest way to gain the skills you need now and prepare for your future as a project manager.

This video is an answered prayer. Thank you. I am preparing to become a project manager, switching from a different career, but felt that I needed to see it in action. And this position will allow me to do so. Again, thank you!

Project Coordinator ... Assist the PM ... Relationships build up .... responsibility is different ... Task responsibility.... Creating the time line ....Gnatt ...work flows ....

Hi. Just wanted to say, I believe the salary also can depend on the industry you are applying to. For instance, if you are applying for a project coordinator position at a chemical/gas, or energy company, it may pay WAY more than if you applied for a project coordinator position at a furniture, appliance, or construction company.

Thank you for this video. That was an interesting take on the overall introduction to a Project Coordinator role compared to a Project Manager. In the USA, many employers provide titles to employees without real qualifications, and when tested on their ability to perform the REAL load of the title, people fail to deliver. This is also true when hiring managers (not HR staff) must learn to provide the proper expectations from someone in that role. I subscribed, and I have great expectations 🙂

Thank you so much this was great and put the role into perspective. Fingers crossed for me.

just got into a coordinator position as a graduate with a salary of around $40k. I am, however, assigned to undertake minor projects by myself and liaise with contractors and various parties to get works done which impressed me as i didnt expect this level of responsibility. I enjoy the challenge and i get my qork done, and i believe i am in a great position to eventually get into pm as my line senior pm and director have both mentioned. However, i do struggle socially somewhat. Given that construction pm is a very socially demanding environment, I find it harder to build relations with people, which is one of the main aspects of pm. I sometimes feel like im in the wrong field, as most people around me have no issue with this, and the people that do are often in relatively lower positions within the organisation, effectively sort of reflecting their social ability. I can see that im heading this way, and im trying to improve socially as i know i have it in me, but damn is it hard to bring to the surface.

Project management is more important things than sales or marketing for getting project, because if you getting good number of project by your marketing but delivery is not accurate you lose your current and future clients, Thanks kayla for great information

[SabrinaMorenike]

Hi, I am glad I came across your video. I am at a career change and a friend of mine suggested looking at being a project coordinator. I don't have previous experience in project management but i do have a creative background (my portfolio needs improvement) but also been working in the food and beverage industry for over 13 years. Is this a good role to work in as an entry level or have no previous experience?

[roslynnpieters]

What type of paper tools would you recommend for project coordinators starting out to make sure they always have what they need at their fingertips.... as an assistant to the digital apps on Outlook, MS Project, Asana, Smartsheets, etc

Thanks for the video I have a finance degree and have been in sales for 2 years and now I’m looking to enter project management what would be ur best advice 😊

[Rasnaraj]

[lineoflads]

Great video and I love your workspace, I do have one question, I am 23 years old but I don’t have any experience in this theater of work, could you suggest any preliminary certifications/credentials that would facilitate ease of entering the field?

[coralarce]

Thank you very much for defining the project coordinator role more in depth. To gain experience in a specific field or to become familiar with the structure of an organization, is temporary work as a Project Coordinator a good idea?

[NiranjanKumaraswamy]

Is a Project co-ordinator R&R same as the one of PSO (Project Support Officer) in a PMO, because in this case he / she has to closely work with Project Core team and in close colloboration with the Integral Project manager - thanks.

[EkonsonMairiki]

just offered this coordinator position kindly need more tips, thanks

Hey Kayla I am in the process of starting a job as a project coordinator for a startup company. It would be my first project coordinator job and I don’t think they have a project manager yet the ceo is doing everything himself for now. I wanted to know what would I have to do to be successful in this position without a project manager to back me or guide me?

[Reeltur_Ryan]
