I just passed the CAPM yesterday! Now what?

I am in the process of documenting lessons learned and will share with anyone interested.
Question - Which process am in in? :-)

Next is to find a job. I am willing to work cheap as I do not have much Project Management experience. The Projects I have worked on were rather small. I prefer Software Development, Product Design, or Media (TV, Radio, etc) industries but am open. If you know of something please let me know.

Also, my credential is not showing up yet. Not here nor on pmi.org. I have received the email from PMI with Congrats and I will get a certificate in several weeks etc, but I assumed it would show up here and PMI.org quickly. Any idea how long it will take?

Congrats!! I agree with one of the comments above, don't sell yourself cheap when looking for a job. Getting the CAPM is a big accomplishment and sign of dedication to Project Management.

1. Update your resume
2. Volunteer and network at your local PMI Chapter
3. Search LinkedIn for jobs (this was successful for me - got my two latest career positions using LinkedIn).
4. Don't put the books aside...stay fresh so when you sit for the PMP, it is still in your mind and you won't have to study all that much (PMP is more situational questions whereas CAPM is more book knowledge).
