PM in the PM Workshop #4: Personal Branding
Beyond the Résumé: Defining Your Professional Value
Organizations invest in building strong, recognizable brands. But what about our own professional brands?
In a competitive job market, it's tempting to cast a wide net and try to appeal to every employer. Yet when we try to be everything to everyone, we risk losing sight of what makes us distinctive.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
