Welcome! Introduce yourself to PMI’s Online Community

Hi everyone!

I'm currently exploring new career opportunities and taking my first steps towards a career in project management.

My professional background is quite diverse, as I built most of my experience in the hospitality industry. I can honestly say that I've worked my way up through the ranks, something I'm genuinely proud of. I started out as a chef, later moved into office-based roles, then worked as a Wedding Manager and eventually as a Hotel Manager. These experiences taught me a great deal about leadership, organization, problem-solving, communication, and working under pressure.

Over time, I felt ready for a new challenge and a different professional direction.
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in project management through what initially started as a junior, part-time role but gradually grew into a full-time commitment. Together with a team, we worked on launching and establishing a blockchain-based business. It was an intense learning experience, with a steep learning curve and plenty of new things to absorb in a relatively short time. I learned a lot from my manager and through independent research, online resources, and practical experience. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoyed the process of bringing an idea to life and helping turn it into something tangible.
This experience made me realize that project management could be the right direction for my future career.

I'm currently focusing on building a solid foundation, learning the fundamentals, and expanding my knowledge with the goal of taking a recognized project management certification exam next year. I'm particularly happy that this qualification is also recognized in Hungary.

At this stage, I'm excited to learn, connect with experienced professionals, exchange ideas, and discover new tools, methodologies, and best practices.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from this community!

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to be here. I'm Jonathan Coleman
My background is a bit non-traditional, I've worked as a Case Manager in social services, I've also worked as a Vendor coordinator for a city agency and I currently work as a Care Coordinator in healthcare.
Project Management thrills me as it takes high level structure, organization, and accomplishing large bodies or work broken down in systematic steps with many variables to manage.
My Proudest accomplishment is my Master's degree in Business Administration.
I want to migrate to a Project coordinator role. I'm working on a Scrum Jira Project at the moment, & I'm studying my resume in STARS format. I've applied for both the CAPM & the PMP and both have been approved. Still working on directing my efforts for migrating into PM , but in any case I'm happy to learn every bit that I can hear from you accomplished individuals!
Thank you for having me here!

Welcome, Jonathan! Congratulations on your MBA! I encourage you to connect with community members who have taken the CAPM or PMP exam and learn from their experiences. Wishing you the best of luck, and we hope to hear about your progress along the way!
