  Thanks TA!

  Looking to change careers and this is one possible career, any idea where I should start?

    I can only speak for IT Project Management and tell you it is saturated. The hours are long and the demands can be crazy. Sometimes management including project management is not outsourced but the workforce is and that can be rough even with the Internet.

    I could be flippant and tell you to start with speaking Hindi (and before someone plays the racist card, I had close friends of all nationalities growing up including an Indian bloke I was in a garage band with - the fact of the matter is a lot of work is going to countries where labour is cheap).

    Disclaimer: I don't formally project manage anything though I have had to do project plans, estimates and resource allocation. My main job is a dual senior development (everything from design through to unit test and troubleshooting) and 2nd level support role (troubleshooting and operational). I prefer technical work to management.

      Actually I know this is true as I've spoken to someone from an IT department for banks, most outsource to India for coding.

      TBH, I am just in the planning stage, not too sure which specialty I want. Is there any generic PM course? Is it necessary for specialisation?

        There are very definite commonalities. You always have to create project plans for tasks which you or someone else estimates, and you have to manage people and other resources. But typically you need to specialise and understand the nature of the projects you're managing. Building a bridge entails quite different considerations vs building custom software. The best project managers I met were friendly, took into account the human factor and REALLY understood what they were building.

        In IT you often (but not always, especially not lately) start of in the role you're going to end up managing and work your way up. Certainly one way I could have gone if I had wanted to.

      I'm also in I.T. but my experience was lots of outsourcing to South African's. All depends on the I.T. language, I guess.
      If you really do want a career change, and are interested in development, start designing your own website, and present that in an interview.
      Nothing sells like presentation, and proof of what you can do.

      If you like Microsoft, they also have certifications you can pay…sorry, sit exams for, and stick that on a CV.

  As good as these particular courses are, they're not qualifications. More for interest, and knowledge.
  If you want to change career, even to get into a junior PM job, you'd be better off hunting down Prince2 foundations certification, and/or a diploma in Project Management. You can do the latter through your local CIT, I think.
  And neither are free.

    ProjectZero on 27/01/2015 - 11:26

    I was looking into more of an assistant PM role so I can learn on the job as well. Would that still require the diploma? Did think of going to do a dip but as I work full time and have gym commitments, I can only really do it online.

      I'm currently doing one online via my CIT, which is based in Canberra. Look up elearn.
      Not sure if you can do it online in other states, but I'd be surprised if you can't.

      As for would you still require a dip to do an assistant PM role, nope, but it'd give you an edge on the other applicants. Everything helps.

        ProjectZero on 27/01/2015 - 12:02

        Thanks for the info mate! Will look into the dips but it is good to know that assistant PM roles do not actually require them.

      • 

        daveted on 27/01/2015 - 14:00

        I'm presuming they don't.
        I don't even think you NEED one for a PM role, but all PM's probably have some sort of certification.
        As I said, not essential, but even to get an interview, if you're the only one with some sort of certification, I'd be surprised if you don't get a foot in the interview door.

        Interviews…..not that's another skill.

        @daveted:

        I'm actually not worried about the interview part as I'd say I'm a friendly and socialable person (to an extent) so talking isn't hard.

        What I find difficult is finding examples to back my answers, the current role I'm in isn't really autonomous, everything needs to go through my superior before going outbound.

        I especially have a hard time with the problem solving examples because as I said… everything has to go through my supperior and his the one that fixes them by telling me what to do… -____-

    Prince2 foundations certification

    Thanks daveted. Found a Prince2 course that I've added to the bottom of the list.

      Thanks. That is a good prep course, but you still have to sit for the exam.
      FWIW, I did a 3 day full time course years ago for foundation, and just barely passed the exam. It's not easy.

      And Practitioner is another massive step above foundation. I believe you have to submit a project.

  I've been considering doing a cert in PM for a few months now,
  I originally started a little shop and picked suplliers and designers etc
  Also did the marketing and that

  Does this relate to Project management, or have i got my wires crossed? :)

    syousef on 27/01/2015 - 13:27

    Yes initial setup for a startup can be managed like a project. You plan time lines to get things done, hire people, source supplies etc. What you're describing however is more of a business management role (MBA route). Google "mini-MBA" - if you don't need a qualification you may find something to suit.

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 27/01/2015 - 19:58

      Thanks for that, spent about an hour looking at this. Seems like it's something I would need to do once i am employed in a certain role.

  Thank you TA! I have taken most of these courses and can say they are defo helpful to learn about the trade. more importantly, these courses qualify for the required 35 hours education one needs for the PMP. I can also say that the PMP exam training course was my only study aid for the PMP exam which I passed.

  im also thinking of a career in PM. I'm in my final year of civil engineering at USYD taking up project management electives, from an employer perspective, is that enough? or do they want project management in the title? otherwise i was considering doing a diploma with careers australia online, does it matter which institution the diploma in PM comes from?
