Any PMPs here?

[infinix]

I'm taking the exam next Friday. It is such a necessary evil now, especially for anyone who wants to work on government contracts.

These professional exams are an industry onto themselves. The PMP is $500 for the exam, $3500 for the prep-class, and then $120 annually to keep up the membership plus however much to maintain the eligibility status.

Anyway, I'm just venting.

Anyone here also a PMP?

I'll say I'm probably not, since I don't know what a "PMP" is.

Project Management Professional?

 

[RoJoHen]

Never heard of it.

So, how do these professionals refer to themselves -- pimps, pumps, or what? "Don't make me go upside your head" probably isn't an often-used phrase in project management.

I thought it might be Post Modern Pimp.

<reads infinix's post>

Yep, still could be.

It would be best to explain the meaning of PMP prior to asking if anyone is one. Until I know for sure, I'll assume it is shorthand for PiMP... it's funnier that way.

He(she?) probably assumed anyone who is would know it was in reference to them

Pectoral Muscle Provider? Yeah, I signed the card just in case.

 

[Kestra]

Project Management Professional?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Yeah, I read "Any PIMPs here?"

Can I have a show of hands? Who's pimpin' TBBS?

 

[John O.]

My mom is, certified. A certified Project Management Professional I mean, not a certified pimp

Project Management Professional?

I didn't know what you were talking about either. Wondered if you dropped the "i" in PiMP.

Then I read your post and realized that you probably wouldn't have to take classes for that.

She'd make more money as the latter. And she could wear really funky hats to work.

I have the DAU (Defense Acquisition University) equivalent version of the PMP, but I'm also looking at getting the actual one using some of my Post-9/11 VA benefits from UC Davis.

It's definitely a good thing to have on the resume -- Good Luck, Infinix!!

Sorry I didn't make this clear. But yeah, it is Project Management Professional.

My posts give that much away about me? I must be more careful.

Thanks. I hope I get it and I hope it pays off.

All teasing aside, I hope it works out well for you, infinix!
