FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need a PMP certification to apply?

Not always. Real delivery experience and framework fluency are usually enough. That said, PMP or PSM gives you an edge against candidates with similar backgrounds.

How do I position myself if I'm moving from Team Lead or BA?

Pull out the parts of your past work where you planned timelines, managed risk and communicated with stakeholders. Reframe those bullets so they read as PM work rather than pure engineering or analysis.

How many projects should I list?

Three to five of the most relevant ones from the last 5 years works well. For each, include context, team size, budget or duration, your role and a concrete numeric outcome.

Should I list every methodology I know?

Yes, but tie them to real projects rather than dropping them as keywords. Instead of 'know Scrum', write 'ran a 12-person Scrum team on a two-year fintech build'.
