Certifications help set you apart from other applicants by proving that you possess valuable skills beyond what might be listed in a job posting. They help add credibility to the experience you have, but most importantly it allows you to work on new trends that are evolving within your industry.
It’s important for people who are early on in their career to have extra certifications to help make up for the lack of experience you might possess. When a person achieves a Professional Certification, it shows employers that you have an innate curiosity to learn and develop professionally. Moreover, it shows them that you are passionate about what you do.
In a recent survey of over 400,000 people, 76 reported that they either gained a salary increase or a promotion due to the certification they obtained.
