Good morning,Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your suggestion.
Do you have an immediate objective or long-term career goal that will be furthered by a certification? CAPM is PMI's entry level certification, but I only recommend it if you need a general PM credential for your job search and you don't qualify to take the PMP exam (some companies just want A credential, not specifically the PMP).
DASM is another good place to start, and the training provides more practical information than a CAPM prep class, but it's not as well known and may not immediately boost your job search. PMI also offers several micro-credentials. They won't necessarily boost your resume, but they can provide knowledge/insight that you can start applying pretty quickly. Try to find the right balance between experience, training, and certifications. Having all three can have the most impact on your resume/job search, but I understand the conundrum of not being able to get the experience without the qualifications. Check the job market for your local area (or area where you want to live/work) - indeed, glassdoor, etc... - and see what experience and credentials employers are looking for in the positions you're interested in. This can help you identify immediate and long-term activities to pursue to achieve your objective(s). ...
