Reply to comment by blup12 in Anyone here work as a Project Coordinator for the MBTA? by MojitoSipper

Can you clarify in a little more details what you mean by coordinating projects?

Will they hire someone without any work history of being a coordinator?

I have over 15 years of customer service experience, a bachelor's, and an eagerness to learn how to do my job 100% right. But I don't know if that's still enough.

Just a guess but no project coordinator experience seems unlikely they’ll hire you also because of the liability they are going to be under, but no one can say for sure. Apply and if you get an interview then ask about training and experience.

In the current labor market they may be more willing to train. Certainly no harm in finding out

Think about how your customer service experience can be applied to project coordination. Did you lead the roll out of any new processes? Did you intake feedback or identify issues, work with others to figure out what to do next, and coordinate with others to take action? Did you set up processes that helped day to day work go better? Most jobs can be applied to protect coordination, so spend some time thinking about this, and then up date your resume and cover letter if you haven’t already submitted! Good luck :)

I read in a paper they were trading s*x for jobs in their training academy something like that.. being a state organization you probably have to know someone to get a job I would imagine.
