I think appearing as a lifelong learner is helpful. Although, having a bunch of badges in areas that are not related may tell recruiters that you lack focus.
Good point about focus! I do sometimes lack focus. That’s probably why I am good at jobs that involve doing 12 things simultaneously. I have literally had to answer the phone, the door, send a fax to the person I am talking on the phone to, and take a kid’s temperature simultaneously when I worked at an intermediate school. When parents came in, they usually commented on how I was able to do so many things at a time. Luckily my phone cord was long and could reach the the door buzzer and the copier and the medicine cabinet. It was an exhausting and underpaid job.

I am starting to lean that way too. I think I have almost 20 badges. Many of them are probably not very helpful.
