I love that you call out the "accidental" project manager. I'm not one, but I reckon I've done a LOT of project managing in my career (as a psychologist of all things!). So so true. Great tip!

You're the absolute go-to expert when it comes to project management, Adriana! Love that you also provide tips for beginners.

Hi from UK, exceptional video. I’m a wind turbine engineer looking to get into PM within the company I work for ENERCON. I’m completing the application now and this has helped me SO MUCH! Specifically how to shape my day to day fixing turbines experience into valid PM experience I can state on application forms. Many thank yous. 🤗

I work as an IT coordinator for a large company and I run alot of IT projects. Our organization doesn't really run projects according to PMI standards. I recently got my CAPM and I'm kind of fearful to apply for some of these Project Manager jobs out there. This is because I'm fearful of getting on the job and being completely lost. Any advice?

Apply for the jobs of project manager many many times but no positive response.

What about having a job that doesn’t allow you the opportunity to become a part of a project? I work as a Registered Respiratory Therapist
