In this article, we’re going to discuss what an entry-level position looks like in project management, your potential for career progression, what industries hire project managers, and everything you need to consider when looking to break into this field.

What is project management?
Project management is the process of organizing, planning, and executing projects to achieve specific goals within a set of defined constraints, such as time, budget, and resources. To manage a project, it involves project managers guiding their project teams through all the required phases to deliver something new.
The five phases of project management include initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and close out. This structured process takes an initial idea or concept, works this into a detailed project plan, and manages it all the way through to successful implementation.
Project management brings order to what otherwise might be chaos, and adds value to businesses and industries by implementing critical projects that allow them to operate efficiently and grow.

What does an “entry-level” project management role look like?
An entry-level or beginner project management role is someone who typically has smaller projects (often more operational in nature) that are less complex and narrow in scope that lead on your own. Entry-level project management roles often also support and assist more experienced project managers on aspects of more complex projects. This offers a great learning experience and exposure to larger projects that may be more strategic in nature.
Experienced project managers play a lead role in planning, organizing, and facilitating all aspects of a project. However, in an entry-level role, you will typically be responsible for assisting in the coordination of projects, tracking progress, managing schedules, updating stakeholders with status reports, and ensuring tasks are completed on time. As you gain more experience, you will gradually take on more responsibilities and eventually lead larger, more complex projects.
An entry-level role provides a great opportunity to build solid foundational skills and knowledge in project management including learning how to manage resources, resolve minor issues, and use project management tools and templates to support moving your projects forward. It’s also an excellent way to develop critical interpersonal skills (often referred to as soft skills) such as leadership, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, which are important skills for career growth in project management.
What job titles are considered entry-level project management roles?
Although this varies significantly from one organization to another, here are some typical position titles you might see advertised for entry-level project manager roles.
- Project Assistant
- Associate Project Manager
- Project Coordinator
- Junior Project Manager
- Assistant Project Manager
- Entry-Level Project Manager
What does career progression look like for project management?
For those who are new to project management, they have the benefit of a great path ahead of them if they choose to advance their career in this field. Here are some future opportunities available to an entry-level project manager once they start gaining solid project management experience over time.
Mid-Level Project Management Roles
After gaining a few years of experience under your belt, you can move into mid-level project manager roles. These positions may vary by industry and project type with titles such as Project Manager, Creative Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, Project Consultant or Project Specialist.
At this level, the project manager is responsible for handling multiple projects which may vary in complexity and size, requiring them to apply their growing knowledge and skills to achieve project objectives. Understanding both Agile methodologies and traditional project management approaches, such as the waterfall model, becomes helpful to effectively manage different types of projects.
Senior-Level Project Management Roles
As your experience grows, you will have the opportunity to advance to a more senior-level position. Senior Project Managers typically oversee complex projects or programs with multiple, related projects. This role requires strategic and critical thinking, and the ability to manage higher levels of complexity that is often found collaborating across teams, departments, and/or companies.
Leadership and Executive Project Management Roles
For those with extensive experience, opportunities may present themselves to transition into leadership positions, such as leading a project management team, department, or Project Management Office (PMO). These roles involve overseeing multiple project managers, coaching and mentoring team members, developing project management strategies, and managing the intake process for new projects.
Leadership roles focus on aligning project goals with organizational objectives and ensuring the overall success of the project management function.
What industries hire project managers?
As you start exploring entering the field of project management, it’s important to know that you have limitless opportunities around what industries hire this important role. Here are some industries that require project management expertise that you can consider for your future career path.
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Communications
- Construction
- Defense
- Education
- Energy
- Engineering
- Finance
- Gaming
- Government
- Healthcare
- Information Technology
- Infrastructure
- Legal
- Manufacturing
- Marketing and Advertising
- Media
- Non-Profit
- Research
- Retail
- Supply Chain
- Travel
- And more…
As you can see, there are many different directions to explore when it comes to entering into this profession. Consider what industries are of interest to you. Also consider where you have any past experiences and if you have any existing domain knowledge that might benefit you with one of these options. It will be significantly easier to explore entry-level positions if you already have an industry in mind.
What are the skills that entry-level project managers should bring to this role?
There are two types of skills that you should have when starting in project management. These include technical and interpersonal skills.
Technical skills are often referred to as “hard” skills as they are directly related to project planning and execution, and every project manager should have at least a basic proficiency in these. Interpersonal skills are often referred to as “soft” skills and these are in high-demand and critical for you to develop as you grow your project management career. It’s important to know that both of these skills will naturally strengthen over time as you gain more experience.
Technical skills include the ability to support project documentation, write status reports, identify risks, develop project schedules, define key stakeholders, develop communication plans, identify key metrics, and more. These skills are what drive your projects through the project life cycle including initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and close out.
Interpersonal skills allow you to work effectively with your key stakeholders including your sponsor, steering committee, and project teams. These include skills such as active listening, communicating clearly, problem-solving, organizing information, team building, time management, goal setting, and motivating others.
What is the average salary for entry-level project management jobs?
The average salary for an entry-level project manager will depend significantly on where you are located, the industry you are exploring, the size of company, and the level of previous work experience you bring to the table.
In the United States, salary ranges are often between $50,000 to $80,000 USD for an entry-level project management position, but that can vary significantly. According to the Project Management Institute’s Salary Survey, the median salaries (in $USD) for those with under 3 years of project management experience are $57,533 in Canada, $71,870 in Germany, $66,108 in Australia, $52,795 in Singapore, and $54,053 in the United Kingdom.
What are the day-to-day tasks, duties, and responsibilities of an entry-level project manager?
Entry-level project managers are constantly busy supporting various aspects of a project and assisting more senior project managers on their team. Your day-to-day tasks often include the following:
Communication
Communication includes sending status updates to keep stakeholders informed, scheduling and preparing for meetings, holding meetings, and managing project communications. This involves sending or replying to emails, messaging, collaborating with the project team, and acting as a liaison between key stakeholders to ensure everyone is aligned and informed about project activities.
Task Management
Entry-level project managers check the workplan and schedule often and delegate tasks accordingly. You will develop and review to-do lists; identify and follow up on action items, define project progress based on what has been accomplished, and determine what needs to be done next. This involves touching base with team members on their progress, managing calendars to plan around tight deadlines, holidays, and team member vacations, and adjusting plans as needed to stay on track.
Documentation
This includes developing and maintaining project documentation to keep everyone informed of the project workplan and progress. You are responsible for keeping a historical record of the project, tracking and documenting completed tasks, creating status reports on the project’s progress, and managing a central location for all project documents to ensure easy access and organization. You may be required to use project management software, file shares, and tools from Microsoft Office to significantly enhance your documentation processes by centralizing information and improving accessibility.
How can you gain project management experience to add to your resume?
On-the-job experience is incredibly valuable but if you are new to project management, you might be wondering how to start gaining relevant experience. Here are some ideas:
- Ask your current leader if there are any side projects you can take on in addition to your regular duties to start building project management skills. This can also help you determine if you enjoy this type of work.
- Look for internal opportunities to move into an entry-level project manager role within your organization through a transfer or promotion.
- Volunteer with a local non-profit or charity to gain experience by managing a project for them or helping them plan and organize an event.
- Gain experience with small project jobs on gig economy websites like Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer.
- Network within your online community to find project management mentoring opportunities where you can shadow someone more experienced who is willing to share their knowledge.
- Ask to participate in a project as a team or committee member at your current job to learn about the behind-the-scenes, project planning.
- Help a friend or family member plan a big event like a wedding or retirement party, using project management methodologies to organize the celebration.
Even if you start small, gaining some level of project management experience that you can add to your resume is important.
Remember, experience doesn’t have to be “paid” at first. You just need to start demonstrating that you can apply the right project management skills and knowledge to plan and implement a project successfully.
What are some known challenges when exploring an entry-level, project manager role?
There are a number of challenges and hurdles that no one ever talks about. But here at PML, we want you to know what to expect so that you have the advantage of knowing how to navigate your entry into this field. Here are some things to consider when looking to break into project management.
Competition is high for entry-level project management roles
Getting into project management is highly competitive, especially for beginner project management jobs. There are often less positions for this level of experience and could include hundreds of applications for each available position (depending on the location and industry). You need to make sure your resume stands out from the crowd as these positions are highly sought after. Given how lucrative this career is over your lifetime, there are many people interested in getting into this field.
Entry-level roles are often still asking for experience
For those looking for entry-level roles, you may be surprised by the reality that many of these positions are asking for anywhere from 1-5 years of project-related experience. This can be extremely confusing for recent graduates who are are looking to enter this field, and this often feels counterintuitive. What’s important to realize is that most people enter project management with some level of job experience from another position.
Entry-level in project management doesn’t always equate to entry-level in the general workforce. These are different, and no one typically explains this. The reality is that many project managers enter into this professional after gaining 2-3 years experience elsewhere in another role. They may work on projects in some other capacity and enjoy it, and then decide to transition to an entry-level project management position after building up their resume. This is why many companies list a requirement of a few years of experience in their entry-level job descriptions.
That being said, finding an entry-level project management role directly out of school can happen. It will highly depend on the type of industry you decide to enter and the job market in your area. Industries like construction, marketing, and non-profit are more likely to hire someone directly out of school compared to industries like aerospace, healthcare or finance.
Schools offering project management programs might paint a rosy outlook
While it’s true that the demand for project managers continues to rise steadily each year, breaking into project management at the entry-level is not always as easy.
Many schools offering project management programs and degrees promise a smooth entry into this field. Remember, these places have a business goal of outputting as many graduates with project management certificates and degrees as possible (after all, they are a business), and might promise new grads an immediate job in project management.
But landing an entry-level role is more than just a degree or program certificate. It’s also about domain knowledge, relevant experience, and a foundational understanding of the industry you’re targeting. It’s helpful to be specific about what industry you want to explore and gain some basic knowledge and experience in that area.
If you are fresh out of school and not having any luck with job applications, consider finding another way to get your foot in the door in a company you want to pursue and gain some experience and knowledge about them. Then explore a project management role . Position availability will depend on your industry, your location, and what companies are positioned in your area.
Some employers misunderstand what project managers are capable of doing
Another challenge is that despite how well-defined project management is, it’s often misunderstood by many employers and company leaders who are less familiar with the knowledge and skillsets that project managers bring to the table. Some may offer roles with unrealistic expectations and workloads, or equate project management with more administrative work like scheduling meetings and handling basic clerical tasks.
Watch for positions that might be looking for more of an administrative assistant role or for companies that don’t appear to understand the tasks and daily activities of project management.
Some job postings may not be real
Yes, you read this correctly. Beware, some job postings are fake. Hiring managers at many large organizations admit to regularly posting fake or “ghost” job postings in order to keep a steady stream of resumes in the door even if a position isn’t actually available. They often use this strategy to appear open to external talent, project company growth, and to collect resumes to keep on file for a later date.
Remember to look at how long the posting has been up for. If it’s been active for a few months, or if you’ve seen it before and suddenly it’s posted again, think twice about wasting your time.
So if you ever apply to a position you are more than qualified for and never hear from them, there may be a chance it wasn’t real to begin with. But don’t feel discouraged. Keep putting your name out there and work on building your network.
Your resume needs to stand out from your competition
We mentioned that competition is high. That also means that employers with available entry-level positions are often receiving numerous resumes that are near exact copies of each other. Far too many people interested in project management create a similar looking resume as the next one on the pile leaving employers to seek out the very few resumes that stand out and shine.
With the availability of AI today, don’t just ChatGPT your resume and submit it. Hiring managers will quickly spot these AI-generated duplicates and discard them as not credible.
Building out your resume should include highlighting any project responsibilities you’ve had whether paid or voluntary. Demonstrate practical experience and highlight the value you bring to the table with storytelling in your resume to separate yourself from the crowd.
Also, don’t forget to write an engaging cover letter. Project managers need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively. This is your first chance to make a great impression.
Remember, everyone starts somewhere. Consider any experience that shows you have some foundation knowledge in project management and find ways to share this great experience.
Can you work remotely as an entry-level project manager?
The coveted “remote” jobs are diminishing. It’s highly unlikely you will get one as an entry level project manager. Working remotely takes a lot of trust and you don’t have the collateral built up yet as a new hire.
Most companies are shifting their teams back to the office. Now that the COVID pandemic is in the rearview mirror, the days are gone where everyone works from home. Even large companies that said they were staying remote are now asking their teams to return to the office, at least part-time. We are seeing this shift across all industries.
Although remote jobs are still available, they are less frequent. The other thing to consider is if you are entry-level, you will gain the most value and learning by working alongside your project management colleagues in-person. Remember, many of the critical skills as a project manager are interpersonal skills. You develop those by interacting with other people on your team.
How you can set yourself up for success in finding an entry-level project manager role?
The right position is waiting out there for you. It’s up to you to seek it out.
Here are some strategies you can explore to bring you closer to your entry-level project manager role.
- Select the right industry for you to grow your career
- Maximize your LinkedIn profile
- Define and master your personal brand messaging
- Network and build relationships
- Evaluate and strengthen your resume
- Attend project management conferences
- Explore LinkedIn for job postings
- Keep your eye on large job board websites like ZipRecruiter, Indeed, Monster, Workopolis or similar job sites in your country
- Explore the websites of the companies you’re interested in
- Build up your interpersonal skills
- List out your transferrable skills
Select the right industry for you to grow your career
We provided you with a list of many of the industries that hire project managers further above. One of first things you need to do is narrow it down to the industry you want to explore. Assess what knowledge you bring to the table. Do you have a degree and is it associated with any specific industry?
Select an industry and seek to learn more about it. Follow industry leaders on LinkedIn. Check out the latest news and trends.
Consider if you already have connections in any specific industry or an area you already have some familiarity with.
As you saw above, there are near unlimited options around what industry you can explore. Select one that best aligns with your interests and career goals.
Maximize your LinkedIn profile
In today’s digital world, having a strong LinkedIn profile is important. Optimize your profile so that showcases your personal brand in a way that gets you discovered, and set your profile to Open to Work to show recruiters and hiring managers that you’re looking for a new job. Remember that every recruiter and hiring manager is likely to review your LinkedIn profile.
Here are the areas you can leverage LinkedIn as your personal and professional billboard.
- Your Name – Catch the reader’s attention by adding any credentials and certifications you have right in your name field.
- Your Headshot – Use a professional looking headshot to allow a hiring manager to feel connected to you. You should have a high-quality image where you look approachable, authentic, and relatable.
- Your Top Banner Image – Leverage this available space like your personal digital billboard. Add an image that is readable and visually compelling that tells everyone who you are and what you’re about. Consider online design programs like Canva to design a standout banner image.
- Your Headline – The headline that shows up immediately under your name is where you can highlight your interest in managing projects.
- Your About Section – Leverage this section to tell potential hiring managers who you are, what industry you’re interested in working in, what makes you a great candidate, and what you’re passionate about. Talk about the projects you’ve worked on outside of your job, any upskilling you’ve done, and what transferrable skills you have to work in any environment. Talk about what value you bring and have brought to your current and previous roles. If you have some significant projects that you think are great to point out then add your top 3-5 projects here. This is an open text box so take advantage of it!
- Your Featured Section – This is where you can feature posts you made and highlight important information about who you are. Create a personal website or presentation in Canva and link to it in your featured section to tell people who you are, your personal brand, and what you bring to the table.
- Your Experience Section – Highlight any current and past positions and explain how you engaged in any project work.
- Your Recommendations Section – Ask any leaders, colleagues or teachers who have worked with you to write you a recommendation on your LinkedIn profile and say a few good words about you.
- Your Projects Section – Did you know there is a section called Projects within your LinkedIn Profile that you can leverage? Add a description of any projects you were engaged in and add any project results, supportive links, skills, and other details you think would be beneficial to highlight.
Define and master your personal brand messaging
Everything you do contributes to your personal brand. This is all about how others see you and how you make them feel. Do they feel they can count on you? Do they see you as an expert? Do they see you as trustworthy?
In addition to optimizing your LinkedIn profile, create and share content or comment on the content of others, showcase your achievements and the value you bring, write emails well, keep your social media profiles professional, and join the PML Tribe to learn more about building your personal brand.
Network and build relationships
Begin networking and building relationships. It’s critical that you work to build a new relationship before you ask for something. A huge pet peeve (especially on LinkedIn) that will get you nowhere is reaching out to someone randomly and asking them to hire you. Avoid cold call messages asking for job opportunities at their company when they’ve never had any interaction with you in the past.
Follow people at companies you’re interested in on social media and engage with them often. Comment on their posts, message them to ask them their professional opinion, and then only after you have had several meaningful interactions, then ask for their help with any known open or upcoming positions within their company.
Relationship building is a critical skill for project managers. Build this skillset early and often.
Evaluate and strengthen your resume
Take some time to truly evaluate your resume and identify opportunities to strengthen it. You need to remember that many entry-level positions may have hundreds of other applicants also looking to break into this role. You need to make sure your resume stands out from the rest so that you don’t get overlooked.
Ask yourself, what makes you stand out? You need to explore what experiences you’ve had that demonstrate that you have the ability to successfully initiate a project and take it all the way through to completion. This is a necessity.
Take this under consider… If you’re only able to add a project management course on your resume as your only experience, this won’t be enough to set you apart. You need to share some type of project-related experience. Did you manage any projects in school with your classmates? Were you involved in any projects as part of a volunteer opportunity? If you’re currently employed, can you ask your leader to provide you with some small projects that you can personally manage to gain experience? All of this is critical to show your commitment to this role.
Attend project management conferences
Project management conferences are a highly impactful way to connect with others in this field. Conferences and symposiums are often attended by all levels including leadership, and have representation from a variety of local industries. These also provide an incredible learning opportunity as you listen to keynote speakers and the many insightful breakout sessions.
Take advantage of any opportunities in your area this coming year. Bring copies of your resume, and network as much as you can. Visit the vendor booths that are likely looking to hire new talent. And don’t forget, you can add your conference attendance to your resume and demonstrate your commitment to this profession.
Explore LinkedIn for job postings
LinkedIn is a global resource and gives you open access to explore available positions for entry-level project management roles. Search the jobs section, but also follow the companies within your industry of choice to see what they discuss around industry trends and upcoming hiring opportunities.
Keep your eye on large job board websites like ZipRecruiter, Indeed, Monster, Workopolis or similar job sites in your country
The benefit of large job board sites is they consolidate thousands of positions and often have great search functionality to allow you to narrow down by job title, location, salary, and more. Explore the sites available in your country and see what options are available. Many will allow you to search for entry-level and may help you narrow down what is available in your preferred industry.
One word of caution, these job boards are heavily accessed by many people, meaning available positions are often flooded with hundreds of applications. If you choose this route, make sure your resume will stand out in the crowd.
Explore the websites of the companies you’re interested in
Don’t just rely on large job boards. Most of them charge companies large sums of money to post their open positions. Due to the costs involved, organizations may choose not to post all their entry-level roles to minimize this large expense. Once you have selected your preferred industry, identify some of the companies that fall within that industry. Start visiting their company websites and explore their “Career” pages to see what they are posting. You may find this to be a better source of valid job openings.
Build up your interpersonal skills
Interpersonal skills are often referred to as “soft skills”, however there is nothing soft about them. These skills are critical for success project management. These are all about how you work and interact with people and these skills are in high-demand! These include (but are not limited to):
- Leadership
- Effective communication
- Decision-making
- Time management
- Active listening
- Team management
- Emotional intelligence
- Public speaking
- Negotiation
- Organization skills
You don’t have to great at all of these immediately to get into project management, but you need to work on building these essential skills to be successful in the long-term.
List out your transferrable skills
Consider all the skills you feel are your strengths and have already developed, including technical (hard) and interpersonal (soft) skills. There’s a good chance that these skills will come in handy when looking to transition into a project management role. List these transferrable skills out and if you need help, enlist your friends, family, fellow students or fellow colleagues to create a list of your current strengths.
Summary of key tips for finding an entry-level project manager position
- Decide what industry you would like to explore. You have unlimited options. Select an industry where you already have some domain knowledge and use your subject matter expertise as a strength when applying for a project management role.
- Gain hands-on experience to add to your resume. Manage any expectations that by only completing a project management course that this will provide everything needed in today’s highly competitive job market. Find ways to gain experience. Remember, this doesn’t have to be paid experience but you will need to demonstrate that you know how to move work forward successfully, and are continuing to build the skill sets needed to be successful as a project manager.
- Gain foundational knowledge about project management, including the terminology and methodologies. Access the many great sources of information including Udemy, Google project management courses, YouTube videos, project management books, etc.
- Gain some insights into the industry you plan to explore. You don’t need to be an expert, but some base knowledge of the industry is important. Follow industry leaders and research trends impacting that area.
- Look for a project manager mentor. If you’re already working in a company that has project managers or a Project Management Office (PMO), and ask to meet and shadow them for a few days. Look for opportunities to build those relationships. Once you have that, you can start asking around if they have any expected position openings coming up and what they’re looking for.
- Look for a position within your own company. The best place to start is where you already work if you are currently employed.
- Work on your personal brand. Constantly improve your resume. Explore how you’re represented on social media such as LinkedIn. Remember that everything you do impacts how others see you.
- Network and join professional groups to meet other project managers, hiring managers, and potential mentors.
- Build your interpersonal skills including leadership, organization, stakeholder communication, and problem-solving skills as these are highly valuable in project management.
Consider that many people explore project management after a few years of experience and some domain knowledge in a specific industry. That being said, there are still available options for those looking for true “entry-level” roles in project management, but recognize that you will need to find ways to stand out against your competition. Also, consider that some industries may be more likely to hire entry-level project management roles without prior experience than others.
