Frequently asked questions
Should I put PMP / Prince2 on my project manager resume?
Yes, near the top — either in a certifications line under your headline or in the summary. ATS systems explicitly look for these acronyms.
Agile vs Waterfall — should I claim both?
Claim what you have genuinely run. Most senior PMs have done both; say so, with the contexts (engineering vs. infrastructure vs. M&A).
How do I show project scale on a resume?
Budget, team size, duration, number of stakeholders, and geographic spread. Numbers beat adjectives.
