Tell me about some quick resume-enhancing certificates

[rachel83az]

Speaking of cybersecurity, the free TEEX courses might be of some use to get NOW since deadlines are short: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Fr...ersecurity Each section grants its own free certificate. If you completed all 10 sections/classes/modules that make up the whole thing then you would get 10 certificates. I would suggest completing 101 and 301 and only listing them as "Cybersecurity for Everyone" and "Cybersecurity for Business Professionals" on your resume.

Since we are talking about my resume... I started their online application last night. I have not finished nor submitted it yet. Today, my LinkedIn account said I had one person who viewed my profile today. It is the HR director of the place I am looking to apply. Coincidence???

For Coursera , how you should list on your resume under education or continue education? Coursera offer some certification with University. I wonder how I should list on resume

I just stumbled upon a job posting that I believe I am qualified for.  It’s similar to what I have been doing for 15+ years.   The pay range is double - triple my current pay.   Application deadline is June 11th.  Are there any Office/computer/leadership type certificates out there (free/cheap) that would be nice little resume enhancers?  I’ve got the DEI certificate and another in Organizational Leadership that I have put in a side section on additional training and certificates

Was your Organizational Leadership one quick and/or cheap?

I would probably put "enrolled" for the Google PMP certificate on my resume.

The Google certificate is not PMP. Please don't put PMP unless you've taken the test and actually are PMP certified. PMP is a certification from PMI. It's a rigorous test which requires several years of project management experience. It's nothing like the Google certificate.

What about the PMI's CAPM designation?  It's entry level - the OP would meet the education requirement and would likely only need 23 hours of PM education - maybe Sophia Project Management or Saylor's Project Management to qualify and an on-demand at home exam?  Granted, the cost is $257 but if one doesn't have PM experience, you can list Certified Associate in Project Management, Project Management Institute.

I'd rather pay $257 and get PMI's name on my resume than a Google cert.

Yeah, the HR director gets to see who was in the process of applying and wanted to take a quick view of the potential applicants...

If it's from Coursera alone:  I would bold Coursera

Coursera: Google IT Certification

If from Coursera and a partner university:  I would only bold the University name

ABC University in partnership with Coursera: XYZ Certificate

That’s pretty much what I figured.  Perhaps since he took the time to search my name, it means I stand out with potential.  I’m just working on formatting my updated resume and cover letter. Since I wasn’t really actively looking, I don’t have it updated. I also see we have a connection in common

Sophia's pm class does not at all prepare you for the CAPM exam. The CAPM exam is very PMI focuses. The Sophia class is not PMI at all. PMI does offer a class with practice exams for the CAPM. That class gives you the required number of class hours, PMI handbook (PMBOK), and practice exams. PMBOK is really important for those exams.
