He gave excellent tips for passing the course and it set me up for success, and I was able to pass the exam on the first attempt, with "above target" in all 3 of the test knowledge areas. Joe is a great instructor and the course is worthwhile. After course completion, I recommend everyone utilize PMA's online practice tests and do as many as they can before they take the actual exam. The questions are hard but don't get discouraged. Take the practice tests and review any areas of weakness. My only recommendation is for PMA to find a way to go through more practice questions during the 4-day course. We went through questions but going through the questions with the instructor to understand why you got a question wrong is invaluable.

With John's guidance and his use of real-world experiences, I was able to take away what I needed to study and ultimately pass my exam. The info he provided was way better than studying on my own and reading from the PIMBOK book. At the end of the BootCamp, he provides us with what you need to review afterward to pass, which made planning much easier. If you are working towards your PMP, I highly recommend this course with Project Management Academy, you won't regret it!

The success of my business of 25 years, Premier Photography, has been possible in part because of the member's support, Barbara's content every week and her weekly calls checking on my progress. When you're a small business you need a "staff" of people that care about your business and offer creative ideas to solve problems through the brainstorming part of every meeting. Planning sessions, yearly and quarterly, give me the opportunity to analyze my business, see what is working and what is not, and set up goals to grow.

Through our one-on-one sessions, Florence helped me find the confidence I needed to start applying. She helped me brainstorm how to use my creative and organizational talents to achieve both short-term gig and long-term career goals, taking my lifestyle (i.e., a needy toddler) into consideration. I never thought about using my watercolor hobby to make additional money until Florence gave me the suggestion and sent me practical resources to get started. Florence is a seasoned recruiter, so it was extremely helpful to hear her honest feedback about what sort of things make strong candidates stand out and how I could improve my resume, cover letter, and interviewing skills to get more callbacks. Florence doesn't sugarcoat things, which I appreciate because the job market can be ruthless. Florence made herself readily available to me and maintained flexibility in our meeting times when I had to travel or other obligations surfaced. I felt that Florence personalized our calls to fit my needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I also appreciated Florence's humility--despite her vast knowledge of career advising, she checked in to ensure she was actually helping me and asked how she could improve. (I couldn't think of anything she needed to change!) I can honestly say that working with Florence was a worthwhile way of investing in myself and my future. I'm so glad I did it!

I've been able to refer her to 3 different friends and business associates and they've all told me they've been surprised with how smooth the process went. One in particular (a homeowner) told me that she had been avoiding getting organized for years, due to the volume of stuff and emotional attachment to sorting through things. She was amazed at how quickly Michelle helped her sort it out (while staying patient and friendly), and it was a really positive experience for her in the end. Everyone knows someone who's naturally organized, but it takes a true professional to really understand someone else's priorities and help them make purposeful changes to their home and business. That takes more than just nifty labeling systems. Michelle & her team are experts.

As a point of reference, I was the President for 8 years of one of the largest technical recruiting…read morecompanies in San Diego. I managed a team of over 150 people between sales, recruiting and our resources. If you don't want to read something like this direct quote, I would suggest looking for a better agency.... "Tired of listening to details about your personal life, I sent you (replacement nanny) the next day, August 21st." In my opinion, this woman, Ann, the owner of the company is incompetent at recruiting. My take away is that she is posting ad's for nannies, makes them take a personality test that she claims to have created (results were never produced so I can't even give a review of the test) and uses this talk of a test as a selling point. What doesn't make sense is that how can you make a match off of only one person's test results? This would be like eHarmony only making the guy or girl take the test right? I asked Ann if I should take the test. She told me she'd send a link, but never did. She also said it's graded on the nanny curve so the results probably wouldn't mean anything. (Whatever that means). Seems like a flawed concept. What Ann is missing is "listening" to the customer. She acts like she knows what's right for you--she tells you she knows what's right for you. (she didn't meet me in person, or meet the nanny in person before she sent her to interview. She didn't check her current references bc the current nanny asked her not to, and she didn't check any references or background check before she had me meet her. She was that confident...in what? The nannies verbal phone story? By the way, she's also giving pay-raises to these girls so of course if you're making $18/hr, $20/hr is going to sound enticing. I spent 2 hours discussing the job with and I put together a 5 page job description with details that Ann edited so she knew exactly what I was looking for. She insisted that she had very bad luck with girls in their 20's and suggested that I pursue someone older and more mature. Personally I thought someone younger would do better with the tech support I needed during the day when my daughter is in school all day. So the first candidate she submits is mid-20's but tells me she is ultra mature and has been doing PA work for the current family. She actually refers to her former family as "psycho" (see photo of Ann's words) and says she is looking for a new job because "they bought a Porsche instead of giving her a raise". I told her that sounds pretty entitled and she said they were working her to the bone. She also said they moved from Point Loma to Encinitas. I told her I was working on the same type of move and she said it wouldn't be an issue--it was the former family that was the problem. (this is all just a recruiter believing every word their candidate says) Regardless, the girl interviews well and I'm putting faith in this PhD so we move forward. After she signs the offer the girl tells me she forgot she a few days off next week for her birthday party in Arizona. Ok...not good. This is the most basic recruiter question that Ann should be asking and telling me bc I already waited 2 weeks for her to give notice. (as that turns out, it wasn't actually 3 days, it was 8 days) NICE. (the girl took off 46 hours during her first month on the job) I kept Ann aware of all of these things as they were happening....texts and emails. The nanny is 2 hours late day 1. Why? Because the former boss--who Ann refers to as "Psycho", went into labor and the girl claims to have slept there. The next day she's 2+ hours late bc she's taking the former families dog to the vet. I kept Ann aware of everything going on. Ann tells me that the girl is too immature and not focused on work. I didn't see a replacement candidate until Aug 22. Ann finally sends a lady that has had 8 nanny jobs in 10 years and 1 job in an office 8 years ago that she says in writing can start on Sept 1. I interview her/not qualified & she's not avail until after Sept 22 because the replacement nanny tells me in person that she needs to "find herself on a solo road trip". PASS I let the nanny go bc she simply not qualified for the job-- a complete lack of trust--she had the car seat in wrong, she signed my name on a check, she put meatballs on top of mashed potatoes with red sauce (yuck) While I'm waiting for Ann to send a 1/2 way qualified candidate for over a month biting my tongue with the current girl, I decide that took much has taken place and a heart to heart conversation has to take place with the current girl. The girl accepts no responsibility for anything and quits. I tell Ann that the two people she's sent as replacements aren't even close and not worth anywhere near $40,000/yr. I nicely wrote, if she doesn't want to work on the search, I'm ok with some type of refund. She responds back with, "don't ever call my office, contact my attorney, we have fulfilled our obligations"
