Question #13
Is certification (like CIPD, SHRM, etc.) worth it early in my career?
Answer:
I believe it is.
Education is rarely a waste of resources. Certification in particular demonstrates credibility and in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. You are also more likely to stand out in the job market, putting you a bit further than those without it. It is crucial to audit the gaps in your knowledge and skillset to decide which certification would be the most appropriate for your chosen career path.
