Hi All,
I've been away from project management (IT deployment) for six or seven years and had a couple of completely diverse jobs since then, latterly working in Microbiology! However, I think I still have the energy and desire to get back to the daily buzz of PM although I'm wondering if I should look for junior PM or PMO jobs initially to build up my experience again. I qualified to PRINCE2 Practitioner level and am quite happy to re-sit the exam if necessary but I would be grateful for any advice or guidance from forum members on what has changed, what to expect/look out for etc.
Thanks,
Jim.
Returning to Project Management After a Break
Hi Jim,
What type of PM industry (construction, IT, engineering etc) are you looking at getting into? Also, are you looking at project support or delivery?
Like you mention, a PMO role (supporting PMs) may be easier to get into as you don't have recent experience of delivering projects.
Thanks,
Kit
