Lon WithrowSenior IT Project Manager| MDSIpswich, Ma, United States
Hello,
I am a PMP, Scrum Master, Six Sigma Green Belt and Cloud Certified. I have over 20 years in project management experience.
I'm looking for a new position and I'm find almost all PM job listings in the Boston, MA area are listing a Bachelor or Master Degree as a prerequisite.
I don't have an undergraduate degree but have been in college off an on for 20 years. Do you think I should apply for these positions anyways and hope that once I get an interview they waive the requirement or do you think I would just be wasting my time and theirs.

Hi Lon,
It never hurts to apply, but as Kiron wrote, having someone inside who can get your resume in front of the hiring manager will help get around the applicant tracking system filters and the human filters as well. One thing I learned when job hunting two years ago is that networking is a key part of the job-hunting process.
