Mohammad Nabeel Sr. Business Development Officer| Kuwait Hospital Hawally, Ha, Kuwait

Hey Guys ! Just wanted to know as a person who completed his bachelors ( Business Management ) in 2020 , till that time i was working in a medical insurance company as a medical networks officer. I'll be honest i was working just to fund my studies as i wanted to fund my education on my own , it been 7 years now im working in the same organization. Now i really want a field to pursue that will be constant throughout my life.

im 27 Years and just started PMP training with the hope that it will help me to find a profession that will be good in business management field. Can you guys just advice me if this is the true case. Does it really help ? or if i am late to choose my profession.

Thank You in Advance.

Mohammad -

Business management is a very broad field and project management is certainly one aspect of that domain but not all of it. Have you ever taken any self-assessments to understand what types of activities and jobs might be of interest to you?

The PMP might help assuming you have sufficient commensurate experience for it to be a complement and not just showing you as being "paper certified" - it depends though on the type of projects you manage and the location in which you manage them whether it will be sought after by employers and recruiters.

Yes, Mohammad,

Certainly, based on my interviewing experience, individuals with PMP certification can boost job opportunities by confirming their project management skills, showcasing dedication to professional growth, and gaining increased recognition among potential employers.
