This is exactly what my manager always tell me. This is my first Jr PM position and they love that I ask questions and give it my best. I literally learn something new everyday. I applied to Jr positions because I was nervous and wanted to get my feet wet in the tech space and I'm glad that I did. I believe that when I finally apply for the manager role, I'll be more confident. My background is all military but the healthcare tech space is nice.

I'm Certified Scrum Master, took the Google project management course, studied engineeering management degree. Still struggling to find an Entry-level project coordinator/ manager job. Should I go with Prince 2 foundation certification as it's more recognize in the UK?
