We looked into the possibility of a PMI connenction for The New School curriculum, but I was not certain if this was as necessary as a strong grounding in the specific tools of new media as well as fundamental project management skills. I would embrace an open dialogue on this - we would like to offer appropriate curriculum for new media/web producers (and have been tinkering with this curriculum for the last 3 years) - as the question of official certification is an important one for employment.

Since I'm actually *looking* for work now it's very helpful: Many PM positions (in the D/FW area, at least) are requiring it, so it's opened a lot more doors. It's the kind of thing that will make strangers or recruiters take notice of you and in some cases put your resume on that shorter stack... But depending on your network of business colleagues, I wouldn't necessarily call it "necessary." Don't get me wrong: I'm proud of the certification because I take the work seriously but ultimately I still think it's who you know that'll land you a position. Just one guy's opinion. And I'm available for hire in the Dallas area, if you know of anything. :-) Greg Glaser, PMP gglaser@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a blank message with unsubscribe in the subject to webproducers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To access our webform (instead of sending e-mail) for popular commands including subscribe, unsubscribe, digest, and vacation visit www.WebProducers.org.You can also access the list archive at the website.
