Job boards routinely query management candidates for critical certifications. PMP has become the standard certification in many fields today.

(PRWEB) -- Today in the Detroit area 8 out of 10 IT manager jobs require some form of certification. The most commonly asked for certification is the PMP or “Project Manager Professional” certification. This certification requires project hours, study of the PMI’s “PMBOK” or Project Management Body of Knowledge, which details the course of study, and pass a very tough test on the PMBOK. Monster.com is an accurate reflection of this statistic; just do a query on “IT Manager”. PMI’s PMP certification has changed the IT, construction and healthcare field by making itself the golden standard by which supervisors and managers are judged.

Corporations are requiring PMP certification for job interviews or certification shortly after hire. “There is just no substitute. Possessing the PMP shows the candidate is serious about project management.” said one recruiter during an interview.

Potential management candidates should be strongly encouraged in the IT field to seek their MBAs and management certifications. The PMP (according to Monster.com listings) should definitely be among them. You can review PMP information http://www.simpletesting.com for more information.
