Or are there other training or certification programs you’ve found valuable from a broader digital perspective?

like

I’ve done Facebook Media Planning Certification, Twitter Flight School, Pinterest Academy, LinkedIn and Google trainings and used them for baseline team training opps, but looking for broader digital media training outside of social. Have not looked at HubSpot in many years, but will give it another look!

Yes, it was helpful for me a few years back to force me to learn the ins and outs bc I don’t do planning/buying but coordinate closely w those who do. I found it detailed and comprehensive

I think that depends a lot on your experience to date. Do you deal with this stuff to some degree on a daily basis or are these totally new concepts to you, etc. The exam was harder than I thought it would be (I passed but was surprised) but again I was going in pretty cold so was still newly putting the concepts together in my mind. The prep material and practice exams are really detailed so if you put time into studying you should be fine

If you genuinely want to stand out do Google Cloud or FB developer exams.

Everything else is goo soft

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA. I have been researching and learning and what I found out was to switch career minimum; needed is education (first not not certification to show you have practiced new skills). This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

Designer and architects who have made the jump from consultancy/studio to brand/client side, what's your reasons and how have the transition been?

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.
