Well, you know I want to transition into project management. The biggest hurdle I see is the lack of direct PM experience on my resume. How do I even get my foot in the door without that?

That's a common challenge. Have you considered taking on smaller, low-risk projects within our current company, even if they're not officially 'project manager' roles? Like volunteering to lead an initiative or a cross-departmental task force?
English
这是一个普遍的挑战。你有没有考虑在我们公司内部承担一些较小、低风险的项目,即使它们不是正式的“项目经理”职位?比如自愿领导一项倡议或一个跨部门的任务组?

I've thought about that! But I also feel like I have some skill gaps in project planning software and agile methodologies. It's almost like a chicken-and-egg problem: need the experience to get the job, need the job to get the experience.
English
我有想过!但我也觉得我在项目规划软件和敏捷方法方面存在一些技能差距。这几乎就像一个先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题:需要经验才能得到工作,需要工作才能获得经验。

Right, I've looked into those, but there's a financial consideration too. Those certifications aren't cheap. Any tips on balancing professional development with budget constraints?

Michael
第 8 轮
Definitely. Check if our company offers any reimbursement programs for professional development. Sometimes they do. Also, look into free or low-cost online resources like Coursera or LinkedIn Learning, which often have introductory courses or free trials. And don't underestimate networking; sometimes, a referral from someone who knows your drive can open doors, even without every single box ticked.
English
当然。看看我们公司是否为职业发展提供任何报销计划。有时他们会。此外,查阅免费或低成本的在线资源,如Coursera或LinkedIn Learning,它们通常有入门课程或免费试用。而且不要低估人际关系网;有时,一个了解你上进心的推荐人能够帮你打开大门,即使你没有满足所有条件。

That's really helpful, Michael. I hadn't pushed the company reimbursement angle as much as I should. And networking is always key, you're right. Thanks for the advice!
English
