Helping aspiring Project Managers to break into the field ⚡️ Build your Professional Brand with me | Elevate your career with proven methods | Project Manager

👋 6 years ago I had no clue I would be a Project Manager. 

It happened accidentally and the hardest for me was to understand what is this role about, what should I do and how to land the role of a project manager. 

I spent years figuring out this, so you don't have to. 

Pivoted 5x times, working in various industries, I found my passion in project management and that I can help others to break into this field and build a fulfilling and successful career. 

I share on LinkedIn 5x times a week posts about getting things done, productivity, leadership, what PMing mean and how to land a job in project management without starting from scratch.

As a Project Manager, I worked in various start-up and corporate environments and am really passionate about helping others, empowering people and leading teams to success.

* All the content and free resources I provide reflect my own voice and personal brand and not my employers *

Project Management is so easy.

All you gotta learn is:

Stakeholder management, project planning, budgeting, risk management, scheduling, agile, waterfall, scrum, kanban, Jira, Trello, Notion, RACI, Gantt charts, reporting, scope control, resource allocation, change management, issue tracking, communication plans, retrospectives, sprint planning, and post-mortems…

Oh, and of course - pass your PMP, CSM, CAPM, or any other certification just to get noticed.

And sometimes you’ll still hear: “Aren’t you just scheduling meetings?”

Meanwhile, you’re actually holding the entire project together 😆

AI certifications for PMs

One LinkedIn DM got me 3 interviews in 48 hours

Here's the 4-sentence template:

I was stuck. 300+ applications, zero callbacks. 
Then I stopped applying and started DMing.

The exact message that changed everything:

"Hi [Name], I noticed you're hiring for [Role] at [Company]. I just helped [Similar Company] reduce project delivery time by 35% using [Specific Method]. Would love to show you how I could bring similar results to your team. Worth a quick chat?"

Why each sentence works:

👉 Sentence 1: 
The Hook "Hi [Name], I noticed you're hiring for [Role] at [Company]."

Shows you did your homework
Makes it personal, not spam
Creates immediate relevance

👉 Sentence 2: 
The Proof "I just helped [Similar Company] reduce project delivery time by 35% using [Specific Method]."

Leads with results, not responsibilities
Uses specific numbers (not vague claims)
Shows you understand their industry

👉 Sentence 3: 
The Bridge "Would love to show you how I could bring similar results to your team."

Shifts focus to THEIR benefit
Promises value, not asks for favors
Creates curiosity without desperation

👉 Sentence 4: The Close "Worth a quick chat?"

Low commitment ask
Puts ball in their court
Easy yes/no decision

The psychology behind it:

People don't hire resumes. They hire solutions.

This DM works because it:

Respects their time (4 sentences)
Leads with value, not need
Shows confidence without arrogance
Makes saying "yes" easy

Real responses I got:

🤝 "Impressive results. Let's talk Tuesday." 
🤝 "Can you send me more details about that project?" 
🤝 "I'm forwarding this to our hiring team."

The secret? Stop asking for opportunities. Start offering solutions.

Your resume shows what you've done. Your DM shows what you can do for them.

Big difference.

Project Manager ≠ Scrum Master

Let's end this confusion:

A Project Manager:
• Owns deadlines and budgets
• Manages resources and risks
• Drives project completion

A Scrum Master:
• Guards Agile practices
• Removes team blockers
• Facilitates ceremonies

Can they swap roles? Sure ✅ 
Are they the same role? Never ❌ 

Both are valuable.
Both are leaders.
But different missions, different impact.

Stop treating them as interchangeable.
Know the difference. Respect both roles.

Building a high-performing team?
You might need both. Just don't confuse them.

What’s your take? Have you encountered this mix-up before? Let’s discuss below. Share below ⬇️

I've been a PM for 6 years and still google basic terms during meetings

Here's what nobody tells you about being a PM:

Year 1: "I'll fake it till I make it"
Year 2: "Maybe I should actually learn this stuff"
Year 3: "Wait, everyone else is faking it too?"
Year 4: "Actually, knowing everything isn't the job"
Year 5: "My value is connecting dots, not memorizing terms"
Year 6: "I google proudly now"

The secret of PM life:

👉 Nobody knows everything.
👉 The best PMs know how to find answers fast.
👉 Your superpower isn't omniscience.
👉 It's resourcefulness.

I've shipped products worth millions.
Led teams through impossible deadlines.
Got promoted multiple times.

And I still keep a tab open for some terminology during meetings with clients

Stop pretending you know everything.
Start being excellent at finding what you need.

The confidence to say "let me look that up" is what separates good PMs from great ones.

🔍 What's something you secretly Google all the time? Let's normalize not knowing everything 👇

P.S. I might not know ALL terms, but I definitely know how to build a network & start landing interviews, sharing the templates ready to use here https://lnkd.in/e7QDmBYH
