Which do you value better in a new employee, certifications or experience in the job

I am finishing up with CNA are Muhlenberg job corps center, I have my HHA Certification and my Servsave Certificate as well as my CPR

When I was younger my step-father was an electrician he actually owned a fire alarm company. So I started working with him as early at as the age of 12 years old ,pulling wire., changing devices, troubleshooting Etc..., So I've had a passion for electricity for since I was a kid I love what I do I didn't just fall into doing this I chose to be an electrician I look forward to going to work everyday and I take pride in my work that's why I'm a foreman. When I install lights or devices I expect them to be within a 16th of an inch I always expect all my wiring to be stapled and nice and not all twisted and you know it is just has to look nice. I've become excellent at troubleshooting as I've done a lot of work on Palm Beach Island a lot of remodels I've done work at lost Tree Village off of you know near Singer Island. I'm capable of running multiple jobs at a time provided that I have a few guys under me that I can trust. I think if this company hired me that we may be able to maintain a long long time relationship especially if the pay is good causd eventually honestly I'm either going to go out of my own and get my business my electrical contractors license, which I know is a lot of responsibility but I want to live comfortably I want to buy a boat one day I want to own my own house and I'm a really hard worker and I plan on making a lot of money for the person that I work for.

I had been an electrician for over 10 years and the Continuing Education Provider, not only was late getting my paperwork in, but he charged me twice. I reached out to Austin to get it worked out, and they tell me I have to take the test over again! It was hard enough to pass the first time. Now they have made it so hard to even get in the field with this no felons can obtain any kind of license. My life went to making a good living to doing anything too make a dollar. Are there no other alternatives?

I'm 1 class away from my A.A.S. in Software Development. I have a Technical Certificate in Software Development, a Certificate in Web Development, and PC Pro Certificate from TestOut. I have years of experience with IT and as an Electronics Technician. What kind of jobs can I get? How do I get into my foot in the door with Software Development?

I'm a young college student looking to get another job, but right now it's really hard. I'm currently currently a Chemistry major, and I've been looking for entry level jobs as a Lab assistant/technician, pharmacy tech , so I can get some professional experience, it's hard when I look at the requirements for entry level jobs and see all these types of certifications and years of experiences need just for an ENTRY level position. I'm trying to set the foundation for my future, and this is a goal I'm trying to work towards. I want to be able to gain experience, so I can build my resume, and intern in an even better position. Most of my work experience is in childcare,as well as sales (which I hated), and warehouse labor. I only have a high school diploma, 3 childcare certifications, and I'm CPR/First Aid certified . That's all the credentials I have. I don't have an lab tech /assistant certification, none in the pharmaceuticals, none in quality control. I just wish I could just find something I want. I don't want to work with kids anymore, im trying to aim for my desired job position of choice. Hopefully things will turn out well; I'm tired of seeing a rejection email :-(

This was probably the hardest thing for me to do everyday since the layoff in which I lost my job in 2015 after 27 years. I had to get over the shock first and then go back to the drawing board. I suddenly realized that I had put aside so many things I wanted to do, learn, and practice. I also realized that all the things that I was proficient in like project management now needed certification :) Luckily when I called Rutgers they told me about the training program for which NJ Unemployment would pay. So I went to the unemployment office and my first step was to secure the $4000 training fees they would pay. My goal was to get the Project Management Professional certification which it seemed like was required for every job I applied for. I found that once I started focusing on the goal so many doors opened up and somehow I started meeting all the right people. At the bus stop I met a gentleman with the PMP Prep book in his hand who then then introduced me to AV Institute of Technology in NJ. I took several courses with them to upgrade my skills. NJ Unemployment by the way also paid $400 for the PMP Test Fees. It was nice to go back to school and learn new things - something I had only dreamed of for over 27 years. I am in design and construction so it is a bit hard in that field for a woman - especially construction. In any case, I keep pursuing. I am happy to have found a really good assignment doing corporate renovation for a company located 10 miles from my home. Nice people and I love the assignment. I am also enrolled in an online program to learn AutoCad and plan to take my license for Residential Design in the next 6-8 months. So I continue studying, networking, and keeping a positive outlook. I was in shock when after 27 years I had to go online and apply for unemployment. I know exactly how it feels. All the best to everyone. Perhaps it would be good to start our own employment placement agency :)

A person that have so many years of experience and worked around the world in his discipline about 20 years and continuing to do so......what kind of certification will be entitled?

I have graduated with a BS with a 3.9 and passed Real Estate exam on first try, but after graduating from Jefferson College with a PTA, I’m having issues passing the boards. I’m use to passing everything and I have hit my first challenge.

I have a BS in Psychology. Do I need the Behavioral Health Technician certification to obtain an entry level position in Arizona and if so how do I go about obtaining it. Thank you.
