Tell me about some quick resume-enhancing certificates - Vle045 - 06-01-2021 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 RE: Tell me about some quick resume-enhancing certificates - withrown - 06-01-2021 try out allison learning. most of those can be knocked out pretty quickly. price for the actual cert varies but is not bad if it fits what you need. RE: Tell me about some quick resume-enhancing certificates - rachel83az - 06-01-2021 I'm not sure how many people have actually heard of Allison. I doubt their certificates would help all that much. MS-900 (Microsoft 365 Fundamentals) - basically, Microsoft Office - is $99 ($15 if your job has been impacted by covid): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/ms-900 Dynamics 365 may be another (relatively) easy certification to earn. $99 (no $15 option): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/d365-fundamentals/ Perhaps a first-aid certificate (shows you know what to do in an emergency)? https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/online-safety-classes?latitude=33.4483771&longitude=-112.0740373&searchtype=class&zip=phoenix%2C%20az There's even a "safe work practices during covid" certificate. If you had a little more time, you could complete the Google Project Management Professional certificate: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-project-management (you could always put "in progress" on your resume). It says 6 months but, based on other Coursera courses, I'm guessing that you can probably get it done in a month or two ($39/mo).

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

I’ve got the DEI certificate and another in Organizational Leadership that I have put in a side section on additional training and certificates It is a Coursera specialization. It has, I think, 5-6 courses. I have some done. Each course has a certificate as well. I think it is pretty easy. Watch some videos, answer some questions, do mini projects and essays.

The 365 ones could be useful too. Thanks.

I’ve got the DEI certificate and another in Organizational Leadership that I have put in a side section on additional training and certificates 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.

I was trying to figure out what, exactly, PMP is.

I’ve got the DEI certificate and another in Organizational Leadership that I have put in a side section on additional training and certificates PMP = Project Management Professional (from PMI) As others have noted, it's a very difficult test that you're only eligible to take after several years of project management experience. PMI offers an entry level/early career version called CAPM(Certified Associate in Project Management). And of course there's the new google project management thing, but it's too early to tell how well it will be looked upon by employers. My thinking is that it would at best be seen as equivalent to CAPM.

I doubt their certificates would help all that much. Even if it does nothing but start a conversation about what you learned while doing it, I think it's a winner. Anything you can add in the area of Cybersecurity is likely to go over well. There's a big hole out there for people with that knowledge. I'd say so much so that it would probably be worth ponying up for something from one of the bigger providers. |
