Susan Marangos

Hi all,

Have a question for those of you who currently hold the PMI-RMP certification. Has it made any impact on your career in regards to being hired or advancing? I'm in the middle of job searching and I haven't seen this certification listed as a requirement for any position yet. I want to pursue this eventually but I want to make sure that I'm doing the certifications that would have the most impact in my job search first.

I'm assuming most people that have this certification have it in addition to a PMP, so it might be difficult to see how much of a boost it can give.

No - it was strictly a differentiator for me (relative to someone who doesn't hold it) and primarily stemmed from a personal interest in that knowledge area.

I definitely understand wanting to stand out. I'm also interested in this area and I have an MBA so I can see this being a nice to have at some point but not a must get now thing

Interesting. So in some cases it's definitely marketable.

For me, the knowledge I gained during the journey complemented my experience and like Kiron, it made my profile stand-out (Compare to those who don't have it).

I do lots of risk management and that's why I decided to pursue this certification.

I was interested in the financial industry at the time. I never did get to do project management in that industry. I got out more from the education-qualifying university course than I did from the RMP exam preparation.

Thanks for the great replies everyone. I do think this is something I'd like to pursue to gain more knowledge in the future but after I take care of some more immediate trainings.

One thing I believe in is that we must keep learning.

Learning is like a sailboat - it rarely goes in a straight line.
