Hear me when I say: you absolutely, positively DO NOT need another PM course or certification to get hired.
In this episode, I break down why certifications feel productive during a job search, but often act as expensive and time-consuming procrastination. I explain what hiring managers actually care about, why experience beats credentials every single time, and how focusing on the wrong gap can waste so much time.
I also walk through how to reframe your experience, even if you haven't had a formal PM title, so you can position yourself as the obvious choice for the right roles. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll start applying once I get this one certification” this is your gentle (but direct) wake-up call.
