Hello all,

Can a PMP certification increase marketability and movement across industries?

My PM experience is in healthcare. With a PMP can I move to another industry say banking or pharmaceutical without any background experience in either industry?

Having your PMP will certainly increase your marketability. As far as movement across industries, that will depend on various factors, such as skills/experience translation to the new industry, but I can tell you it surely will not hurt!

Andrew, I like your positive way to look at PMP certification certainly it should make a difference, it is an extra obvious qualification on the resume.

I still see jobs requiring experience over certification.

PMP is always helpful when you have the relevant experience. So, according to me domain experience counts more than certification.
