Be realistic and when you apply say that in addition to your theoretical education you would now like to learn and contribute to practical project management needs. This is just the beginning. If you don’t have practical experience show your passion and willingness to learn and grow. Why do you want to work for this company? Why in project management? I wish you every success!

it is clearly understood that a fresh graduate has no experience at all in project management, so just be yourself just be honest about it. But when working, learn a lot from your supervisors, your team mates. Be observant that is. Ask things you didn't know and theyll be glad to teach you how and why. No need to rush or show something first, it is evident already. Capitalize what you learn in the university and your wekness improve them . Just enjoy working and what you have in the first place and everything will follow naturally.

Today, Project Management should be in built. We are all meant to be managers by default, so a graduate of project management that has undergone tutoring for about3-5 years in school is employable. Just keep on building yourself by networking with professionals, research on text for good project management culture and go for available certifications/competence trainings.

 

With this, you should be able to tiump when opportunities come by.

 

Thanks.
