The letters tell a lot about a person. I couldn't tell you what the example you linked means, I don't know anything about that industry, but if you were a chef and you used this:
Jon C. Chef, CC, CPC, MB, CCP
I'd know you were a loser trying to buy certs to puff yourself up. On the other hand, if you showed up with this:
Jon C. Chef, CEC, MS
those are solid. If you applied with this:
Jon C. Chef, CMC
I couldn't afford you. (But I'd double check the registry....just to be sure you weren't bluffing )
I think people can see through puffed up show pony certifications, but real-valid- credentials should always be included in your resume. Using letters? What better place? I think if your snap chat siggy has credential letters you've gone too far.
