Awesome Career Paths with a Project Management Degree

Awesome Career Paths with a Project Management Degree While the title of this post isnt as sparkly as our usuals, I decided to feature this guest post written by Tasha Morris today for a few different reasons:  1) My husband is a project manager and I cannot even begin to tell you how much he has taught me about this practice over the last few years. 2) When I switched my career path from Banking to Marketing, this was the first skill that I identified as totally lacking in myself and totally crucial to my success.  I read as many project management 101 articles and books as I could find. 3) When I was self-employed,  good project management determined if I was negative or positive with my clients, employees and expenses.  In other words, it determined if I could eat and pay rent. 4) Today working at a digital agency, project management is at the core of everything we do regardless of how creative the job description. 5) Having a strong project management background is pretty recession proof.  If youre good, you will be paid very well, can find employment in a number of types of organizations and have more job security than most. Thanks Tasha for uncovering how many career paths a project management degree can offer you!  Tasha is a blogger and student currently earning her  online project management degree. She hopes to work for a non-profit organization after graduation. -Nicole You’ve completed your traditional on-campus degree and now you’re wondering where those four years of hard work will take you. As a project manager, you have the distinct opportunity to enter almost any field or industry, from pharmaceutical to healthcare and the non-profit sector. Before leaping headfirst into a pile of resumes, job applications and interview questionnaires, learn about some of the hottest jobs available in this ever-evolving and diverse field. Project Coordinator You have a general understanding of the project manager’s role, but what exactly does a project coordinator do? Basically, as a project coordinator, or facilitator, you’ll work directly under a project manager. You’re responsible for overseeing a certain facet of a project, such as organizing meetings, supervising team members or handling materials. Landing a job as a project coordinator is often the first step to becoming a full-fledged, executive-level project manager. New Product Development Manager If you’re an ideas person with a keen analytical mind that thrives on the challenge associated with the trial and error process, becoming a new product development manager is definitely a career option to consider. As a new product development manager, you’re not only concerned with the development of a product, but also how it’s commercialized and marketed. Depending on the industry and company, you could be responsible for ensuring a new cereal is correctly packaged and marketed or even getting a new life-saving drug into the hands of doctors. Construction Manager The construction industry has recently taken a hit, but this doesn’t mean that many firms aren’t still actively seeking the skills of a knowledgeable, well-educated construction manager.  You might be working closely with a number of architects and contractors on a larger project, while a smaller build might have you interacting one-on-one with the builders themselves. Luckily, theres a  construction app  and many other project management apps that can help you manage your construction jobs.  Manufacturing and construction are the most traditional and common positions you’ll come across in this ever-expanding field, so don’t hesitate to get your feet wet working in this well-established industry. Once again, depending on the size and scope of the project, your role as a construction manager can vary greatly. You might be working closely with a number of architects and contractors on a larger project, while a smaller build might have you interacting one-on-one with the builde rs themselves. Information Technology In stark contrast to manufacturing and construction, information technology project management is a relatively new career. In the past, companies saw their IT department as a separate entity, and allowed the senior members of the division to handle the tangible aspects of their operation, from budgets to development. Times have changed, and now many larger corporations are beginning to realize that to remain successful, their IT department must deliver a product or perform their duties in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Companies like Accenture, Ernst Young, Boston Consulting Group and PwC are among the most popular and best paying when it comes to hiring people with an IT project management background.  These companies are also  extremely  competitive to get into.  It takes a specific skill set to work as an information technology project manager, so you might want to consider pursuing an online  masters in information security or Pass your Cisco Certification Tests with K aplan SelfTest Test Preparation  while you work your day job or pursue additional education in computer science.  At the very least, learn more about the technical side of this role before making any final career goals or decisions! Consulting Many companies aren’t willing, able or don’t see the need to hire on a full-time project manager or coordinator. If you’d rather work on a case-by-case basis or would love to keep your professional life fresh and exciting, consider starting your own consulting firm. Working as a freelance project manager allows you the freedom to work when you want on projects and ideas that you find fascinating or rewarding. Joining an established consulting group is another option to consider if your ultimate career goals within the field are still up-in-the-air. Environmental Research Project Manager Another relatively new career path, environmental research project management allows you to earn a healthy salary and work in an expanding field while you fulfill a passion for saving the environment.  Your job duties will often include coordinating staff, scheduling duties and basically using the scientific method to address many environmental concerns. No matter if you’re earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Project Management or a masters in human resources; online education is often the best course to fulfill your career aspirations while maintaining a healthy professional and personal life. Aside from the convenience of working on your schedule and the flexibility of taking tests, studying or interactions with professors from the comfort of your home, online education is often times less expensive than a traditional, campus-based program.

How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You Part V - Career Pivot

How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You â€" Part V - Career Pivot How to Move Abroad Part V By Neldahinojosa â€" Own work, GFDL, Link We are finally ready to make our move to Ajijic, Mexico. We just moved into a new casita in the center of Ajijic. I have been chronicling ourexperiences in this blog and on the Repurpose Your Career podcast. I have been discussing our experiences on the podcast and writing about the business side of the move here on the blog. You can find all of the blog posts and podcast episodes where I am chronicling our journey and the decision-making process on theHow to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You Series Page. I want to discuss today the technological,financial, and legal challenges. You can make a lot of assumptions about all 3 areas, and you would probably be wrong most of the time. Look for the next Repurpose Your Career podcast episode to cover: Shipping food supplements and medications from the U.S. to Mexico Healthcare Health insurance Automobile insurance Leasing property in Mexico Why Are We Doing This? The number one factor in making this move is the absurd behavior of our federal government, healthcare, and health insurance industries. I wrote about this a few weeks back in my post The Looming Healthcare and Insurance Catastrophe for Baby Boomers. What I predicted is coming true. My health insurance provider has asked the TexasInsurance Board for a 34% rate increase for 2019. I am already paying $1358 per month for a $10,000 deductible bronze level policy for my wife and myself. It is time to move on. Exploration We are on our third exploratory trip to the North Shore of Lake Chapala, to the city of Ajijic, Mexico. We previously explored San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Cuenca Ecuador. The plan was to come for 3 months and find a long-termrental that would start in January. The rental market is so tight that we immediately changed our plans and found a fully furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath casita in the center of Ajijic. Our total cost (rent, electricity, and gas) should be under $1000. This is about 30% more expensive than we had planned for because of the tight rental market. At the time of publication, we would have been in the casita for one week and very much enjoying it. Look for more details on the rental market, the move, and healthcare in next week’s podcast. Technology I have written about this multiple times, but it bears repeating, we are not living in a big city in the U.S. A lot of creature features that we have grown accustomedto, are not here. Internet The big story here is to have a backup plan if your business depends on Internet connectivity. The podcast episode that releases the same week as this blog post is a good example. I was forced to leave the AirBnB house we were renting to record the podcast episode. Power first went out due to a power transformer blowing up during a big thunderstorm, and this happened just after they replaced power lines in the neighborhood. Power was out for almost 3 days with noindication when power would be restored. Once power had been restored, the Internet connection was very unreliable for many more days. This is not an unusual occurrence. When utilities fail, you should expect them to be off for an indefinite period of time. This includes telephone, Internet, and power. TelMex, the incumbenttelephone monopoly, provides Internet service for most people in the area. It is at best a mediocre service providing 5 â€" 10 Mb download and .1 â€" 1 Mb upload. Service is very inconsistent and unpredictable. In comparison, my Google fiber service in Austin provides 300 Mb up and down. Backup Plan My backup plan was to tether my MacBook to my iPhone and run the Internet over the ATT LTE network. When that works, and it often does not, I get 20 Mb up and down. More than sufficient bandwidth to run video calls. Why is the ATT network a problem? There has been an explosion of Smartphone usage in the last year or two. Both ATT and TelCel have struggled to keep up. I will be signing up for TelCel’s home Internet service, which runs over their LTE network, when we return in November. I cannot order the service while living in Mexico on a tourist visa. Both ATT and TelCel offer this kind of service and require a 2-year contract. You are probably saying, “A 2-year contract!?!” Well, the cost is only around $18 per month. Between my Telmex service, TelCel home Internet service and my U.S. ATT service from my iPhone, I should be able to get reliable Internet service. Voice Communications I have a U.S. ATT account that allows calling to and from Mexico and the U.S., and I have been having two different problems. Where we stayed for the last 2 months, is in a hole between 2 cell towers. If I sat in the middle of the living room and did not move, calls worked fine. If I moved into another room, or even outside, all bets were off. The second issue was it was common for calls to drop for no reason. We have moved to the center of Ajijic which should solve this problem. I will be ordering an LG flip phone from Telceland sign up for one of their packet plans. I can buy a simple flip phone for about $50 from a TelCel agent and I can recharge my account by going into any OXXO store in Mexico. This could be done online, but not with a U.S. based credit card. See banking section below. Besides,OXXO stores are everywhere. I want a Mexican phone with a Mexican cell phone number for traveling between the U.S. and Mexico by car. When we return to the U.S., we will upgrade my wife’s iPhone and trade it in. I will upgrade my iPhonebut keep my current iPhone 6s. I will unlock it and when we return to Ajijic in November, I will get a TelCel account for it. This means I will have a current iPhone on the ATT network with a U.S. telephone number, and an older iPhone with a Mexican phone number on the TelCel network. My wife will take the TelCel flip phone for calling in Mexico, and use the ATT for calls to the U.S. There are a gazillion ways to do this, but we want to keep our U.S. based phone numbers and have Mexican telephone numbers, to make it easy for local service providers to reach us. Finances On the north shore of Lake Chapala, very few merchants take credit cards. If they do, they charge you a fee to use the credit card. I have been withdrawing money from ATM’s at the maximum the ATM will allow, usually between $250-$380. Fees and exchange rates vary a lot. With a lot of experimentation, I found 2 different banks that gave me similar exchange rates and fees. It is not unusual for ATM’s to run out of money on the weekend. You have to have a backup plan. Banking It is possible to open a Mexican bank account with a U.S. passport and a tourist visa, but I have not found anyone who has successfully accomplished that. This is Mexico, and what you are told is possible and what you can actually accomplish can be quite different. When we return in November, we will stop at the Laredo, Texas Mexican consulate, and I will apply for Permanent Resident Visa. This will allow me to open a Mexican bank account. I will open a bank account in the U.S. at BBVA Compass, and then open a Mexican account at BBVA Bancomer. These accounts can be linked, and I will be able to transfer money when the exchange rate is in my favor. There are other advantages to having a Mexican based bank account including being able to pay individuals and businesses via the Mexican banking electronic payment system. Rather than paying the plumber with cash, I will be able to pay him/her electronically. Similarly, I can acquire a Mexican credit card which I will able to use on Amazon.com.mx or other online non-U.S. retailers. This is a big deal. To rent the casita in Ajijic, I had to get almost US $3,500 in cash to make the down payment. This was a lot of trips to the ATM over a month period to accomplish this. I will talk a lot more about this in the podcast episode. Legal Career Pivot will continue to be an Austin, Texas-based business. I will need to acquire an Austin address for the business which will likely come from a service equivalent of PostScanMail.com. All business for Career Pivot will pass through U.S. based financial institutions. Visa Types You can live in Mexico with 3 different types of visas. These are: Tourist visa or FMM â€" You are limited to staying 6 months but can import a U.S. plated automobile for 6 months. Temporary Resident â€" This is good for 1 year and can be renewed annually for a total of 4 years. You can import a U.S. plated automobile for the length of the visa. Permanent Resident â€" This has no time limits but you cannot importa U.S. plated automobile. There are different financial requirements for the temporary and permanent resident visas. The vast majority of retirees come in on a temporary resident visa, and after 4 years, convert to a permanent resident. They simply do not have enough savings or income to qualify for a permanent resident visa initially. You have to demonstrate you have approximately $100,000 in investments continually over the past year or have had an income of $2,400 per month, to qualify. The average baby boomer has far less than $100,000 saved for retirement. Our Visa Plans I will apply for a Mexican Permanent Resident visa in Laredo on my return from Austin. This must be applied for from a Mexican consulate in the U.S. Most people first apply for a temporary resident visa, and later move to a permanent resident visa after 4 years. The problem with having a permanent resident visa is you cannot bring a U.S. plated car into Mexico on a permanent resident visa. Only on a tourist or a temporary resident visa can you apply for a temporary import permit (TIP) to bring an automobile into Mexico. This gets complicated because the Mexican government does not want your U.S. plated car in Mexico. They want you to buy a car in Mexico. My wife will return on a tourist visa and we will later be able to acquire a temporary resident visa for her in Mexico. She will obtain the TIP for the car on this trip. Needing to Prove Legal Marriage Status In order to acquire a temporary resident visa for my wife while in Mexico, I will not just need a marriage certificate, but a certified marriage certificate. There is a special term for this that I cannot remember, but I need to get my wife’s and my marriage certified by the state of Texas. There are stories of foreigners who have not been able to take their spouse’s body after death because they cannot prove to the Mexican government that they were married. I engaged with an American lawyer who supports the expat community. He reviewed the lease, my business plan, and immigration status. Basically, as far as the Mexican government is concerned, I am retired. I can receive no income from a Mexican business or individual, which should not be an issue. You need legal counsel to accomplish this. This is not a DIY process, but the cost of engaging a lawyer is quite affordable. What Else? I will be covering in the podcast episode: Shipping food supplements and medications from the U.S. to Mexico Healthcare Health insurance Automobile insurance Leasing property in Mexico These are much more personal in nature, and I want you to hear some of my frustrations, angst, and joy. This move will likely produce a $50K shift in our annual budget. The financial difference is staggering and much of this is due to health insurance, healthcare, housing costs and cost of living. Have I scared you, or made it believable that you can make this happen? Marc Miller Like what you just read? Share it with your friends using the buttons above. Like What You Read?

Book review Learned optimism - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Book review Learned optimism - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Of course Ive been reading while I was on holidays, and it fit very well that I was reading about optimism. Martin Seligman has long researched optimism and positive psychology, and Learned Optimism is the popular summary of his work. But why be optimistic? Shouldnt you just be a realist? Well, here are a few good reasons for being an optimist: * Optimists lead better lives * Optimists live longer * Optimists are healthier * Optimists do better at work and in school * Optimists have fewer depressions * Optimists have more friends and better social lives And did you know that: * The most optimistic candidate has won nine out of ten american presidential elections from 1948 to 1984 * The most optimistic sports teams outperform the pessimistic ones * An insurance company that started hiring based on optimism rather than skill got much better salesmen out of it Seligman argues that the flip side of optimism is pessimism or helplessness the feeling that nothing you can do will matter, you are powerless. He created a ground-breaking experiment which was first performed with dogs back in the sixties. Three dogs went through each experiment. The first dog was given electrical shocks which stopped whenever it pressed a panel with its nose. It got shocks, but had the power to stop them. The second dog got shocks whenever the first dog got them. This means that it received exactly the same amount and duration of electrical shocks as the first dog, but it had no chance to affect this. The third dog got no shocks. The next day each dog is placed in a special shuttlebox. Here the dog is given an electrical shock that it can easily escape by jumping over a low barrier. And the results were, that dog number one (whod recieved shocks it could turn of itself) quickly jumped over the barrier. So did dog number three that had gotten no shocks. But dog num ber two just lay there, feeling powerless to change its conditions. It had learned helplessness. This experiment has since been repeated in many different forms on many other animals (including humans), and the results show that we learn helplessnes extremely quickly. But the good news is, that we can also learn optimism. Seligman introduces a tool in the book which will let us challenge the pessimistic thoughts and assumptions that many of us have running through our heads at frequent intervals. One of the most interesting chapter in the book concerns depression. Depression is spreading like craxy today and its even starting to hit children. Seligman argues, that the negative thinking that depressed people experience is not a symptom of depression it IS the depression. Consequently, if you can change your thinking you can cure the depression. And studies have proven that optimistic people experience fewer and milder depressions. I highly recommend this book. It contains numerous deep insights on what goes on in our brains and how it affects our moods. Just the chapter on depression is worth the price of the book. An excellent book from a man who is obviously a master of his field. Also, the book is entertaining and at times very funny. Thanks for visiting my blog.

The social media basics to improve your job search - Hallie Crawford

The social media basics to improve your job search Here is a good piece that I wanted to share with you about the basics of social media related to your job search: http://mashable.com/2012/05/31/advice-for-new-grads/. We all know that we should watch what we post on social media sites. You should Google yourself to see what your online footprint is and clean up what you can. Keep in mind and understand that you cant clean up everything, so watch what you post in the first place! One thing I disagree with in the article is this advice about Linkedin: And of course, there’s LinkedIn, which every grad in today’s job market should consider joining.” I dont think using LinkedIn is optional. With some employers reporting that up to 80% of their recruiting is done through LinkedIn, its not something you want to miss out on. Create your LinkedIn profile now, even before you graduate, and keep it active. Its not an option; its a critical tool in your job search. I hope this is helpful to you.

Writing a Resume For Army Infantry

Writing a Resume For Army InfantryIf you are looking to improve your chances of getting an interview, or applying for an enlistment or early entry commission, the first step to taking your career to the next level is writing a resume for Army infantry. In the case of this job, the time between obtaining the rank of sergeant major and being promoted to the rank of colonel or brigadier general is known as the junior enlisted grade.This enlisted grade allows individuals to experience a higher level of operational experience than many individuals without sufficient experience. Most civilians working in the private sector, for example, cannot enjoy the kind of personal experience that an enlisted person can enjoy. The level of pay also differs in some ways between enlisted and officer's grade jobs, which require an individual to have a very thorough understanding of the wage structure before applying for an enlisted position.It is not uncommon for enlisted individuals to be assigned to Ar my infantry units for years, and the pay varies with each individual unit. The army generally has an active pay scale in place for this job, but many individuals still seek employment elsewhere. In addition to the pay scale, there are many benefits to this job that differ from those available in the civilian sector. However, because the military structure is different, the enlisted soldier will need to overcome a lot of stress and pressure from their peers and superiors.An individual that is considering this career path will want to look into their operational experience. Many recruiters will want to see that the individual has some kind of operational or combat experience, whether it be from civilian employment or a war zone. Individuals that have served in combat may be asked to provide documents proving their military service or combat experience, such as a diploma or other certification. The applicant must also provide references, however, some agencies will require references f rom people that the applicant knows.Since most of the organizations in the military will not be able to directly ask an applicant about their past employment, the applicant should look into their past employment history. An applicant will be asked about the amount of experience they have had in their current position, as well as the kind of duties they currently perform. Individuals that know what they are doing with their job will be able to give a more accurate resume for this particular job.One thing that an applicant will want to do is check their application to see if they have received any scholarship opportunities in the past. The opportunities vary from organization to organization, and they are based on the type of scholarship they offer. Individuals should check and see if they have received any scholarship opportunities to better understand the dynamics of this job before applying.An applicant should be prepared to submit a strong application for this job, as this is a po sition that is seen as a stepping stone to become a higher enlisted rank in the military. Although there are many civilian positions in the military, an applicant will want to remember to include as much military experience as possible, and an organized application is essential to their success.

The Difference Between Millionaires and Billionaires Comes Down to How They Answer THIS Question

The Difference Between Millionaires and Billionaires Comes Down to How They Answer THIS Question Millionaires and billionaires may both be richer than the average person, but they’re each in a group of their own. The distinction between the two comes down to how they answer one question, according to Rafael Badziag in his book “The Billion Dollar Secret: 20 Principles of Billionaire Wealth and Success“: “What do you enjoy more, making money or spending it?” Badziag, an entrepreneur and expert on the psychology of entrepreneurship, spent five years conducting face-to-face interviews with 21 self-made billionaire entrepreneurs around the world (defined as those with a net worth of at least $1 billion) and researching their lives and companies. “The difference between financially successful people (millionaires) and financially super successful people (billionaires) boils down to the fact that the latter get pleasure making money, but don’t enjoy spending it,” he wrote. Billionaire businessmen Michal Solowow â€" the wealthiest person in Poland â€" and Lirio Parisotto â€" the wealthiest person in South America â€" both credited their savings habits to their financial success. “You want to get rich? There’s one way to do it: Spend less than you make. If you spend less and you accumulate, you get rich,” billionaire Frank Hasenfratz told Badziag. Frugality begets wealth Spending less than you earn is a classic staple of building wealth. Saving and investing more money than you spend helps spark the power of compound interest, where the interest you earn on your money earns more interest over time. Frugalityâ€" a commitment to saving, spending less, and sticking to a budget â€" is one of the characteristics most predictive of net worth, according to Sarah Stanley Fallaw, the director of research for theAffluent Market Institute and an author of “ The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth.” “Spending above your means, spending instead of saving for retirement, spending in anticipation of becoming wealthy makes you a slave to the paycheck, even with a stellar level of income,” she wrote. Look at the famously frugal Warren Buffett, who still lives in the modest home in Omaha, Nebraska, that he bought for $276,700 in 1958 (in today’s dollars). He’s never upgraded to a smartphone, pays $18 for a haircut, and spends no more than $3.17 on his daily McDonald’s breakfast â€" even though his estimated net worth is $84.6 billion.

How To Choose A Career You Wont Hate 10 Years Later - Work It Daily

How To Choose A Career You Won’t Hate 10 Years Later - Work It Daily According to a survey by Deloitte, 80% of Americans report hating their job. This means that only 20% of Americans actually get up in the morning and look forward to going to work everyday. Related: 6 Ways 99% Of People Are Destroying Their Careers That’s really sad. No wonder customer service is so bad. These stats have got to be reversed. If you want to choose a career you won’t hate 10 years later, there are a few things you can do. These recommendations are also applicable to those who may currently be in a career that they hate and are looking for a way out. 1. Focus on your aptitude Think back to your childhood, your teens, and your early 20’s. Did you have any natural skills, gifts, or talents? I’m not talking about being a naturally-gifted professional athlete or a musical prodigy. Those talents are extremely rare. If you haven’t taken an aptitude test before, I strongly urge you to take one immediately. They will help you focus on things that you’re naturally good at, which will help point you in the right direction of what you should be doing for a living. In society, when we think about our careers, we focus far too much on our earning potential and not enough (if at all) on our aptitude. Money is great, but after awhile the allure of making a lot of money wears off, especially once you consider the sacrifices you have to make to earn a high salary. 2. Figure out what truly motivates you What drives you? Is it money or is it passion? A lot of people say they want to be happy on their job, but they also want to make six-figures/year. Studies show that the more money someone makes as an employee, the more unhappy they typically are. Since there’s generally an indirect relationship between money and happiness, you have to really determine what you’re motivated by and be willing to live with the consequences of your decision. Pursuing your passion may not yield a high income. However, chasing cash may not yield happiness. Choose wisely. 3. Be willing to make some sacrifices Throughout human history mankind has traveled long distances in pursuit of happiness. Ask an American immigrant and they’ll tell you. If you truly want to be happy in your job, you must be willing to make sacrifices, one of which includes moving. The job of your dreams may not be located in your local city or metroplex. If it’s across the country are you willing to uproot your family and move? What if a happier job yields a lower salary? Are you willing and able to live with less? 4. Build your brand In this day and age and in a global economy, competition for jobs has become more competitive now than ever before. I talk about personal branding often, as do other career coaches. What used to be a buzzword is now no longer optional. If you want to have a thriving career you’re happy with 10 years from now, you must begin building your personal brand immediately. As time goes on, more and more people are jumping on the personal branding band wagon. They’re learning how to format their resume properly for both human beings and job posting site robots; they’re building website portfolio’s; they’re launching industry blogs; they’re becoming content contributors; they’re writing books, so on and so forth. If you become a laggard and wait to launch your personal brand 10 years from now, you’ll be so far behind the curve that you’ll never stand a chance of catching up and the only opportunity you’ll have to look forward to are the table scraps left behind from the early adopters who put in the time and effort building their personal brands a decade before you. 5. Continue your education Nowadays, careers and industries come and go as the wind blows. This means that the days of getting comfortable in a particular field with the assumption that you’ll have job stability is over. You’ll be lucky if your industry still exists five years from now. The world just moves too fast nowadays. That being said, you must constantly be continuing your education. You must constantly be learning new skills so that in the event that your industry does change or implodes, you have the opportunity to quickly pivot into something new.
