I hire guys as Program Managers for the Federal Government. The only folks impressed by the PMP seem to be people who have it themself. Not only do I (and other hring officials) not find it valuable, their insistence that it makes them know more than everyone else is very annoying and usually makes it difficult for them to work with others who are more talented/skilled but don't have the magic PMP credential. In my business, you would do better not to waste your time. We have our own programs to certify personnel.
