TOPIC: Got my PMP Certification, should I post on LinkedIn?

I’m wondering if I should post that “I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification…” thing in my page. Is this a good channel to grow my network? Or will they want someone with more experience compared to someone who just got their certification?

Hi Anthony,

Absolutely post it! Announcing your certification is one of the best ways to build visibility on LinkedIn. It shows commitment, achievement, and readiness to engage with the community.

And don’t overthink the “experience” angle. Yes, the PMP already reflects significant project management experience – it’s built into the application process.
But honestly, most HR people don’t know or care about those requirements. They just see “globally recognized certification” on your profile. And if someone does know what it means,
even better – you just earned extra credibility.

My tip: frame your post around what the journey taught you, not just the badge. Invite others to share their own paths, which will spark real engagement. And keep it authentic,
because people connect more with a story than with a title.

So yes, use LinkedIn to grow your network. The certificate isn’t the end – it’s the perfect conversation starter.
