Just learn to waffle on by saying what could actually be said in a few words in a few hundred words. Also use words like 'streamline', 'deliverables' and 'requirements' a lot and set up LOADs of unnecessary meetings - then go and play connect 4 on your mobile on the bog.

That's what I've observed most PM's do wherever I've worked.

Believe it or not, this is about as much as you need to know to be a PM.
Granted, there are good and bad PMs, but it's nothing to do with qualifications. Some people are just good managers of people/projects, and some are not, regardless of what course they've been on.

I think you should tell where it is in order we can provide specific advice to that organisation / industry

Never take responsibility for anything, blame others for you own faults, bulltulip about stuff you know nothing about and above all be an arrogant twunt.

That's what PM Junkie does.
