he has only 4 years of experience. Jerome’s friend who is in your team is suggesting
that he can arrange for a work experience certificate. Since Jerome is technically very
sound, even the customer will be happy to have him and the project will surely close
successfully. He also feels that since Jerome is a very good resource, quality of work
will improve, so there is no harm in getting a work experience. Jeff is a certified PMP,
but is not a member of PMI now. What should he do?
