What is the most importance point that hiring personal looks for when searching for Project Manager?
1- Obtaining PMI certification in the proper field, familiar with project manager who knows where and how to start his assigned project
2- Obtaining Bachelor degree with the proper PMI certification
3- Obtaining MBA with experience in management - unfamiliar with project manager who does not know where to start his assigned project
4- Obtaining Doctorate of Business administration. No (PMI) certification Saving Changes...
None of the above. I have been on hiring panels and hired project managers one-on-one in three very different situations (government, consulting, and healthcare). In all three, everyone values experience more than certifications and degrees. Granted, these are for experienced positions.
For an entry-mid level project manager position, I believe "Obtaining MBA with experience in management - unfamiliar with project manager who does not know where to start his assigned project" would be most helpful. Saving Changes...
One of the main things that we look for is Project Management experience in our field but it is also how they would fit into the culture of the organisation and personality within the team. They need to be able to hold their own with some very powerful personalities. Saving Changes...
I would say option 1 or 2, they both need experience for the PMI certification.
Experience in he requested field could add value, so 1 could be more valuable.
Then there is people skills and a series of other criteria! Saving Changes...
