Thoughts on MOOCs like Coursera versus taking a college course? I’m trying to make a career pivot and am wondering if hiring managers would take a Coursera certificate seriously as a resume boost. The goal is to show I have knowledge in the field and interest. I plan to pursue further education, but want to test the waters with a single class first. Also given current events, seems like online classes may be taken more seriously in general going forward.

Depends on the class. I’ve taken classes on a couple of platforms, I feel that edX programming / Data science courses are head and shoulders above other platforms.

I get the impression programming and data analytics courses online are relatively well-regarded. Any experience with finance/business courses?

I did that too. Take a short course to test the waters and see if that's my thing. Now, I'm actively applying to grad schools... but I'm not really doing it for opportunities, so I don't really mind how it is perceived. It has lent some attention to my profile, but I feel only if they already know and like you. To use that and stick out in the job market without networking is going to be difficult.

Good for knowledge. Bad for recruiting. Online or not, still need an accredited institution.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
