You Have One of The Best Jobs in America (at least according to CNN)!

For the record, just having a job these days is a blessing!

But since I get the privilege of working with project managers and other leaders, I was pleased to see that IT Project Managers ranked #5 on CNN/Money Magazine's Best Jobs in America survey.

PM's certainly didn't show up on the list for lowest stress, as any of my project manager colleagues can confirm. Yet the job track of Project Manager continues to be a good career investment.

Are you still procrastinating on getting your PMP certification? If so, check out my overview of how to get your PMP. Invest in your career by getting your PMP in 2010.

P.S. If you're willing to take less money, be a College Professor that teaches project management! Professors hit #3 on the overall list (and #3 on the Least Stressful list). The fact that Education/Training Consultant showed up #1 on the Least Stressful list makes me wonder about the validity of the survey, but I digress. :)

Do We Really Need Another Social Network? PPMNG!

So, I totally get that the last thing most of us need is yet another social network. It could be you've yet to jump into the fray and try one out. Perhaps you think they're a waste of time.

Or it could be you're in so many social networks that it feels like a burden to you. For the last year I've been focusing primarily on LinkedIn and Facebook. Without discipline any use of social networking can get out of hand.

"So add another one?"

If you're in a position or career track related to project management, I'm recommending "Yes."

Thanks to how easy (maybe too easy) it is to create a social network using the NING platform, there's a new network called the Professional Project Managers Networking Group (PPMNG). You can find it at http://www.ppmng.com/.

I've created two groups on PPMNG that I invite you to join: The People Side of Project Management and Certification Prep.

Next week I'll have a newsletter out that will talk about the pro's and con's of engaging in social networks. For now, I wanted to get the word out in case you haven't heard about PPMNG.

I'd tell you more but I have to get back to Twitter, or Facebook, or...... :)

Get Your PMP® Certification!

Nearly every week I work with leaders at all levels of organizations who want to get better at not just talking a good game--but delivering. At it's core, project management is about delivery. If you want to get serious about developing a reputation for being a person who gets things done, I strongly suggest you commit to learning how to be a great project manager.

Many of my clients ask how they can learn more about becoming a certified Project Management Professional (PMP®). We've recently added a page to our website to help you learn more about the process. Click here to learn more about how to get your PMP certification.

So many people tell me they're thinking about getting this certification. Let's stop thinking and start doing! This page can help. You can do it!

"PMI and PMP" are trademarks, service marks or certification marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc., which is registered in the United States and other nations.
