So you wanna be a PMP?

Application tips:

Each description:

Stick to around 250-300 words. 

For best effect you need 7 sections for each description:

1 - Project Objective
2 - Project Role
3 - Initiating
4 - Planning
5 - Executing
6 - Monitoring and Controlling
7 - Closing

Each one, be concise in your words and use trigger terms.

Here's mine for example:

Project Objective: Take over the Credentialing Digitization Project for the client, Ronald Reagan Medical Center in order to digitize decades of backfile content by leading a team to complete the project.
Role: Project Coordinator
Initiating: Started morning reviews of project status with the team with the assumption, schedule, and cost. Delivered a high-level scope summary to the stakeholders on a daily basis as requested by the stakeholders.
Planning: Reviewed the previous methodology and modified the methodology as per the stakeholder requests and once the physical content as been assessed. This allowed me to create an accurate scope and requirements to properly scale the team size to the project schedule while remaining within the budget.
Executing: Trained members of the team personally and obtained new equipment for the team to use. This involved reaching out to a third-party vendor, Canon, to gain access to new scanning technology. Execute tasks and start delivery flow on schedule.
Monitoring & Controlling: Accurately monitored metrics of employees and provided averages of work done. During this time checked how quality assurance team members were doing and ensuring the quality standards were met.
Closing: Once final delivery was made of the digital content, the paper content was set aside and a project closing plan was sent out to the client for review. After a period of about 45 days, the client agreed to shred the physical paper. Assigned a team to handle the physical aspect, and certified the shredding. The client was pleased with the detail of the work. It ended up being the first profitable project of over a 60% KPI in my division, which was an impressive feat as it was my first led project

Afterwards you MUST compress it into one paragraph like so:
