The Digital Project Manager

Looking for a job is its own special kind of hell. You do your research, fill out form after form, and put your whole self out there—just for some person you've never met (or a robot), to tell you you’re not good enough. Actually, hearing anything is the lesser of two evils. Most of the time, it’s just complete and excruciating silence. In a recent episode of The Retro for The Digital Project Manager, I sat down with Ogaga Johnson, PMP, Founder & CEO of Verisult, to talk about what it’s really like to try and land your first project management role. And of course, rejection came up. You’re going to hear the word “no” a lot when applying for PM roles, especially if you’ve never had the title or are trying to change lanes. But I love this piece of advice from Ogaga: focus on what you can control. Make sure your resume shows your value. Practice telling your story and talking about your transferable skills. Look for the role that’s the right fit—not just the one that will say “yes.” So many more great moments in the full episode, even if you’re not a first-time PM. Give it a listen ( 🔗 in comments)!
