Keren,
I am also PMI certified. I agree with Greg's comment that more jobs are
putting down PMP certification down as a requirement.
But just plain experience, contacts, and reference projects are what people
are going to focus on when selecting candidates..
Going through the process of getting certified you learn a great deal about
project management that is applicable to any situation.
I also don't think that I would have ever taken the time or been allowed
the time at work to focus on project management.
A lot of people get into project management not by choice but more by
circumstance .
Certification forces you too look at and treat project management as a
discipline.
At least that is my take on the worth of it.
