With each success, you should seek experiences on larger projects across programs in different business organizations. By demonstrating greater competency in managing more complex schedules, you'll also be able to compete for more senior positions.
Earning the Schedule Management Professional (SP) certification through the Schedule Management Institute (PMI) will position you for the best and most lucrative job opportunities. No matter what industry you choose to work in, SP certification will be a huge asset as you move forward in your career. Not only does the credential carry prestige, but the skills and knowledge you develop as you attain it will help you consistently deliver superior performance.
