I tell you very clearly in my capacity: the project management certificate PMP has a high gold content and is very worthy of examination!
I had suffered a big loss because I didn't know anything about project management: I had previously worked as a project manager abroad. At that time, I was very young and vigorous, because I had some ability and self-confidence, and my confidence in the project I was responsible for increased greatly, thinking that I would be able to do this job perfectly, but it backfired.
Because I really didn't understand the professional knowledge of project management, I didn't know the life cycle of project management and the priorities that should be controlled at each stage, and finally, the project had various problems in the past two years, causing relatively large losses to the company, and the business once fell to the bottom.
(My PMP Certificate)
After passing this certificate, I can now be regarded as a comeback. Now I am a professional project manager in a company, managing various projects, and the economy is completely free.
Back to the main topic to tell you why the PMP certificate has a high gold content!
PMP this certificate has a high gold content, which embodies the following aspects:
1. Facilitate employment
As we all know, the employment situation in recent years has been grim. However, in this environment, the employment situation of PMP certificate holders is still optimistic. In the job market, positions are in high demand and pay handsome salaries.
The formation of this situation is mainly because the large-scale development of enterprise project management is a development trend. As a company's projects grow larger and larger, more complex and more risky, the more the company needs dedicated personnel. If you have a PMP certificate in your hand during the interview, you will be considered for preferential recruitment, and the salary is also very impressive. (Note: Many Fortune 500 companies and well-known institutions use PMP as one of the priority conditions in the requirements of recruiting project managers)

2. An important embodiment of personal competitiveness
The coverage of this certificate is very wide and will not be limited by the industry. As long as it is related to project management, this certificate can play its role. Fields like IT, architecture, finance, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, finance, communications, and many others have left a place for PMP certificates. This certificate is all too suitable for those who are anxious every day about whether they will lose their jobs. If you have such a certificate in your hand, it is equivalent to having a safe retreat behind you, and you will have more security and confidence in the workplace.

3. A great weapon for promotion and salary increase
Many people may not be able to enter the core circle of the company, so they can't know this: many companies will designate core personnel to learn PMP. When the company has a big project to manage, this certificate will be a measure of whether you can take on the project.
Like I learned that Microsoft China, Nokia, Siemens, Lucent Technology, China Construction Bank, China Telecom, China Mobile, Huawei, Lenovo, etc. these large enterprises attach great importance to project management certification. Some companies may even require senior project managers to pass PMP certification.
If your job is stuck in a bottleneck period, if you are worried every day whether you will be unemployed, if you are still worried about not spending enough money every month, then take a PMP. This certificate not only increases your salary level, but also provides you with more opportunities, becomes a stable boost in your work, and allows you to get better development space.
My PMP preparation experience:
This testimony is difficult and difficult, and it is simple to say. It took me three months to get this certificate quickly. So while answering this question, I also share the following preparation experience, hoping to help the small partners in need.
1. Just start laying the foundation stage (about a month)
This stage is divided into two detailed stages: a cursory review of the exam content (about ten days) and follow the course (about twenty days).
For the first ten days, I sketched a treemap of knowledge points while taking a cursory look at the exam content. For the parts that you find rare, focus on. This gave me a general idea of the exam before I could formally study.
The next twenty days follow the course. This time you must be serious. The knowledge points that can be digested are finally digested well at this stage. It is recommended that you bring a pen when you study, and mark the key points, easy mistakes and difficult points mentioned by the teacher.
2. Brushing the question improvement stage (about 40 days)
I personally feel that ha, brushing questions is still more critical.
First, you can check which of your knowledge points you have not learned thoroughly; second, you can cultivate your own sense of the problem. Moreover, in 2022, its exam has been reformed, from the original 200 questions to 180 questions, and the focus of the exam has also changed.
Remind everyone that we must do a good job of accumulating wrong questions. Otherwise you don't know what you're wrong with and how.
3. Sprint stage (about 20 days)
Familiarize yourself with the handouts and question types again.
Take an hour or two a day to memorize the knowledge points, look at the wrong question book, and sort out the underlying logic of the topic. When I was at this stage, I basically had one set of questions a day. Use a complete exam time to do a good set of questions, one can train your own speed of doing questions, and the other is to maintain the feel of your own questions.
But there is one thing to pay attention to: brush up on high-quality simulation questions. Practice questions are closest to exam question types. It is useless to do more other questions at this time.
If you don't know where to look for the simulation questions, you can check them out here.
(All pre-test information is available)
Here the simulation question tube in the sprint stage is enough. I used this question bank when I was preparing for the exam, and this course. The gold content of the questions is really good, and many of the problems have problem solving ideas in the simulation questions. The courses taught by the teachers are also of relatively high quality, the whole process is dry, and there is no unnecessary nonsense.
PMP preparation recommendations
Preparation for the exam is necessary, and it is important to prepare for the exam. Now show you a few minefields for exam preparation, please consciously avoid.
1. Pay attention to the quality of the questions rather than the quantity.
The more questions there are, the better, because the quality of the questions obtained from different sources is not reliable. Make sure that every question you have done is carefully cultivated, sort out the underlying logic of the simulated test questions and the real questions, and master this type of test point, you will do more with less.
2. Learn to figure out the same frequency of thinking of the questioner
Just doing the question without reflecting is very fatal. If you want to pass the test, you must learn to figure out the intention of the person who wrote the question. Connect the knowledge points of the topic textbook. Try to analyze the problem in the way the questioner thinks, you can find the right answer faster.
3. Come up with the spirit of the root problem
This is a mistake that everyone will make to a greater or lesser extent. If you think the topic is wrong, you will be wrong, and the next time you do it right, it will be good. I didn't think about why I was wrong.
Therefore, if you do the wrong question, you must ask yourself more reasons. Is it because the topic is wrong, or because I am not familiar with this knowledge point, or I have no understanding of what the topic is asking. At the same time, we must not only know what the correct answer to this question is, but also know why other options are wrong, only in this way can we ensure that you have a better chance of winning the exam.
4. Adhere to the principle of objectivity, do not be absolute
Be cautious when you encounter an overly absolute statement in the options. Words like "must", "all", "completely" leave no room for attention.
Self-study or enrolling in classes?
Personally, it is recommended to register for classes.
Reason: Self-study saves money, but it is cost-effective and time-consuming.
Self-study is that in addition to the application fee of 3900, plus the registration fee of 150 yuan and the information fee of 200 yuan, there is basically no other fee. It can save about two thousand yuan.
However, the self-study pass rate is relatively low. If you can't pass the exam, the cost of the make-up exam will be more than two thousand. This fee is enough to buy an online training course. So think carefully. Moreover, the registration process is very risky. When you find an unreliable store, you not only waste your own registration fee but also waste time and energy.
Checking in is different. There are special teachers to help solve the registration problem, and it is equipped with paper supporting paper teaching materials and electronic materials. At the same time, its pass rate is high. Some of the more well-known training institutions can achieve a staggering pass rate of more than 90%. Like the course I originally applied for, with the assistance of the teacher, I made a little effort myself.
I've shared so much dry goods, and I'm tired of typing, but I still want to talk to everyone more. Some small partners said that the gold content of PMP is not high, so there is no need to take the test. I personally feel that this matter is a matter of opinion. People who eat crab meat will not say that crab meat is delicious. Because there are so many crabs, I don't want anyone to grab the crab that originally belonged to me. Unless, of course, I already have enough crab resources in my hands.
If I can't eat grapes, I won't say grapes are sweet. Because it is a shame to admit that you can't eat sweet grapes. When the idiot is still struggling with whether the PMP gold content is high or not, the smart people have prepared all the preparation materials.
