Thank you so much! They are experts in computer literacy & project management tools, leadership, soft project management skills, and AI. Also, some of them pursue master's degrees to leverage their knowledge. Moreover, they attend events, and conferences, and implement research in best project practices. I've taught myself a lot of project management tools, and I already possess enhanced computer literacy, my issue is that I haven't worked in any project management roles before. So, I decided to seek volunteering opportunities that can showcase my project management skills and freelancing to learn on my own and be more experienced. So, do you think I'm going on the right path? and can you assist me in finding volunteer opportunities with PMI to build experience and try to find entry-level jobs?

Can you clarify the "I haven't worked in any project management roles before" statement? While you might not have held the job title of "project manager", as you have attained your PMP credential, you must have submitted 36 months of experience leading projects as part of the application process?
Networking and volunteering with a PMI chapter can be helpful to get a "warm lead" for a role, but you could also approach not-for-profit organizations to see if they need assistance in planning or leading projects.
I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous statement. While I have not held the official job title of "Project Manager," I do have experience in leading and managing projects. This experience was a key part of the application process for obtaining my PMP credential. Saving Changes...

That's informative. I was already thinking about this and also doing the PBA credential.
