If you’re looking for some careers advice on breaking into the field of project management you should head over to the Guardian Careers website and take a look at a Q&A session on project management careers
The expert panel included Arras People’s senior consultant Michael Hides and whilst training courses did get quite a heavy mention (check out the training provider heavy panel!) there are some great nuggets of advice in there.
The panel included;

Ian has vast experience in the project management field, including IT services project management, as a business process re-engineering project manager in the telecoms industry and as process consultant in the utility services industry.
