Tertiary qualifications or educational backgrounds have not been key factors in hiring decisions for Business Support roles; however, the exception has been with the more specialised admin roles such as a Project Manager.
CV Requirements
There are key components which should be included on any Project Management CV: key skills and competencies, experience and achievements. More precisely, the hard facts about your life (e.g. educational background, work experiences, etc.) are crucial for your CV.
Interview Preparation
The first step is usually a behavioural interview with jobseekers. If that goes well, you are invited for further interviews with senior management or key decision makers. You may also have to perform psychometric testing and/or computer skill testing.
Educational Requirements
Tertiary qualifications or educational backgrounds have not been key factors in hiring decisions for Business Support roles; however, the exception has been with the more specialised admin roles such as a Project Manager where relevant qualifications would be highly sought after.
Project Management is a growing business area, and there are now undergraduate, and specialist post-graduate courses aimed at giving you the skills you need to excel in the role.
