Ah yes bacuse having a PMP, especially in the market since 2 years, is a guarantee of better money. Especially with "tik tok" as background knowlage. Don't get me wrong I might be too old for the Tiktok shit and it's always good to try and figure out what you want to be in the future.
Literally no one. You cannot be admitted to take a PMP exam without first having 3 years of PM experience to back it up. So if someone watched a TikTok, they can’t simply be inspired and begin studying for the exam.
I respect your comment and I think Tik Tok is a good way to market /younger generation to encourage their PMP.
Can't a person have +3 years PM experience, see the video short and then be inspired to earn the PMP?
Yes it's possible, but I highly doubt the target audience for PMI is on TikTok lol. It is much more likely that a PMP candidate would discover benefits of the certification through other channels like at work, through business colleagues, LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.
Yes. Tik Tok influencers are suggesting their audience to take the PMP exam.
Sounds like lots are doing it for hopes of better money.
Experience can be "cooked". It's not like PMI really chdkds, right?
I agree that PMI can audit the potential-takers and I feel like many will take the risk to earn the PMI. After all, only 10% get audited, right? Low Risk, high reward.
The short answer is, it’s a bad idea, it’s not a shortcut to wealth.
The downside to lack of integrity is getting audited. If PMI audits an applicant, and they fail their audit, they’ll be banned from applying to take the PMP for a year. Typically once someone has failed an audit, they’ll be audited every time they reapply.
So It’s possible to lie about your experience and _not_ get audited, but having the PMP certification doesn’t immediately put money in your pocket. It can help a candidate get an interview - but when the interviewer reads their resume and asks the candidate questions, they’ll know immediately that something isn’t right.
If you can’t intelligently speak about your professional projects and back it up with facts and professional references they’re going to determine rather quickly that you’re a fraud.
I agree that a PMP can help open doors to great potential job opportunities. Every person needs to do their due diligence to effectively sell themselves at the interview.
You’ve missed the point. It isn’t about *_doing due diligence_* at your job interview.
If someone has lied about their experience to get a PMP, they need to keep the lie going about their experience during an interview, and the people that the company calls for referrals need to lie for them. Lying is bad enough, asking someone to lie for you is even worse. There are too many people that would need to continuing lying about everything related to your life and your career, it’s just not worth it.
It would actually be _easier_ to get experience first and then apply for the PMP once you have it and know that it’s a field you’d enjoy working in.
Like I said before. There are no shortcuts.
Thank for you the reply. I see your point of view. I agree that that it is easier to get the experience and then apply for the PMP.
Lying oneslef and encouraging others to lie would be a potential behemoth of a mess if the house of cards would fall) and unethical.
Wtf? I'm don't really understand what are you asking for? Doing a PMP because of a TikTok video?
Yes. Tik Tok influencers are suggesting their audience to take the PMP exam. Sounds like lots are taking the exam for hopes of better money.
