Feb 27 2024, as a returning member it did not give me the discount, like alana, i cried too. However, full price is SO WORTH IT....just wanted to share that. borrow or gig your way to the payment. pick cans out of the trash, :-)))
Neither does a master’s degree. I’ve been working minimum wage jobs ever since graduating because I either don’t have the skills or lack experience. Career failure? Yes. Giving up? No. I’m in the process of learning job ready skills.
The key thing is building your skill set. Look at the requirements for the jobs you want and learn the skills they want. The cert can help but the skills are key. I been in tech a decade with no tech background. I self taught myself and moved up to management level. It’s doable
For cyber security, really helps if you start in IT, have done networking, system admin, programming, support, etc. Basically general IT having exposure to everything really helps. Why? When they start dissecting tcp/ip and how it routes, most will get lost FAST. For the Cisco CCIE, Jeff Doyle’s “routing tcp ip” comes to mind. That is aimed at Cisco CCIE prep (and ccna/ccnp) but all that is relatable.
I'm starting in computer information systems because the collage near me doesn't offer IT but I want to learn everything. So I'm doing this for the degree and than self learning everything else. I'm starting with python coding. I couldn't choose just one thing because I want to learn as much as I can and everything sounds so interesting. So this is what I planned.
@@awardere _So ur sayin coursera is a scam??_ No, where did I say that? I just said, completing one of these courses is no guarantee of getting a 6-figure (or high-5) job. You still have to establish a track record of experience and demonstrate your value to a company. The certification just means they're less likely to delete your application in the first 30 seconds.
@@baoshenyi no ...not the traditional sense of the word...it does however have SQL version called SOQL...similar thing. for coding languages such as C or Python or Java types...you will need to actually learn that in and of itself
I have 2 associate degrees one in Computer Information Systems and the other in Cyber Security along with CompTIA certifications ITF+, A+, and NET+. I was also in the Army for 12 years as a signal soldier so I have plenty of experience with IT related hardware and software. I've been doing job applications like crazy trying to get my foot in the door of the IT industry.
man, if we hadnt have literally just sent a job offer to a candidate yesterday afternoon, i'd have said to send us your resume. im an Information Security Manager for a cybersecurity company, also Army vet (21 years as infantryman). the CEO loves military vets too, so is always looking for some more for the company. unfortunately the budget isnt there to hire more than 1 candidate right now.
It’s crazy I’m a swe student and I was asking myself like a day ago what certificates do I need to get to stand out in this felid and Shane comes with the banger video. Thanks man😂🥳
Thank you again Shane! YOU are so the man on RU-vid! What you do here is a great service. You are not the only one, BUT YOU are THE best one! Thank you for all you do here!
Things never change really. When I was a child Microsoft use to talk similar about their certifications. As I grew, I saw these as nothing but companies just pushing their products to customers/markets.
This RU-vid video is phenominal - it checks all the boxes: it’s relevant, timely, concise, visually appealing, flows smoothly, is content specific, every second of what is included has been thoroughly thought through and is easy to understand, the content creator has an engaging communication style, and the information below the video is well scripted and detailed with easy to use links. Top Star rating.
Well, with the Tech bubble burst, it will be hard to land a position without experience or a degree without applying for hundreds of job posts. Certs and degrees are mattering less right now.
This is because gatekeepers have setup up the field of cybersecurity as a mid level career field when in fact it's a career field that's meant for entry-level applicants. They are looking for unicorns even though someone gave them a chance to have their careers. The result: high demand for cybersecurity analysts but hardly any entry-level jobs. The solution: fire all existing hiring mansgers.
shane what is a day in the life like for these digital jobs...? maybe a poll from your views as to the hours that are required or do they want the workers in the office on occasion etc etc and pay... did it live up to the expectations thanks for another great video
if you have basic to intermediate IT skills already, you can do the Google IT Support course in a weekend. a guy i knew at college did it in just over a weekend, i was like Challenge Accepted...and busted it out in one weekend.
Great job putting this together. I'm curious while doing your research for the video. How many of these jobs are being impacted by AI? Meaning job cuts or companies shifting to AI rather than a human.
Nice video, Shane...a bit heavy on selling Coursera but you're doing what you're paid to do. Certainly on the borderline of implying that folks can actually get jobs just by completing these certs, although you didn't step over that border I don't think. The main point is (for most) - these certs are helpful overviews to build upon. The cyber cert barely mentions windows networking, for example, yet that's what most businesses use. Again though...nice overview!
How does the Google Cybersecurity Certificate compare to the IBM one mentioned? Are the equally weighted with valuable content and equally respected professionally?
I can tell you, I'm 3/4 through the Google course & it's basically preparation for the CompTIA Security+ exam & it gets you a discount as well. CompTIA Security+ is an industry recognized certification so I would say it's the one to get. However IBM is probably worthwhile but I don't know much about it. Good luck.
You shouldn't waste your time with it unless you already have an IT job and or experience. You will NOT get a cyber security job with no IT experience. Not even an internship.
@@Mikejones011990 hey Mike, its a lot to write-out in a comment section but I found this short video that describes them well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7FELLFL_RQc.html. What it did for me is show that I understand basic frameworks and processes of Project Management from the most widely accepted authority in the industry, PMI (Project Management Institute). I also got a $20k salary bump a few years ago. Hope that was enough but if not, let me know and I’ll try to answer any other questions you may have.
Research how to do that specific kind of resume and make sure you feature your certification at the top of your skills section. Different types of jobs have different formats for resumes. And pay attention to the directions for cover letters (do they want one page or two pages? remember to tell the story of your skills: show don’t tell). Be prepared to have some digital portfolio samples to share when asked for them.
I think it’s very important to understand that all courses and certifications just like university degrees can only do so much for you. There is no guarantee of any job if you do not interview well or have zero work or life experience. It takes time to build these skills and as someone who has employed hundreds of people over the years I can truthfully say that you will not get a job by credits alone. Your employer needs to actually like you and see value in sharing time and space with you. Keep working on the whole package.
Thank you for this video. It was actually an eye-opener for me. Question: Could someone who isn't a US citizen get these certifications and earn as much as those salaries you mentioned working abroad?
Always learn more and apply your learning at your current company. Sadly, others are threatened about your certifications. Get the certs and grind it out at your current company. People will notice what you’re doing…
that sucks, i took the google digital marketing and e commerce because you were hyping it up last year and i still cant find a job, if you mentions last year this was your least favorite i would not have taken the course...
What does your resume look like? Is it formatted specifically for the digital marketing industry? For example: if you’re a teacher, there is a different format (each) for K-5, 6-12, and special education jobs. Plus you have to research the keywords and the active verbs that employers are currently looking for (don’t say anything is your passion; it’s overused and they’ll just delete your info). And pay attention to the directions for the cover letter: is it one page or two? Did you show what you know? Did you give them the story of your skills? (General rule is show don’t tell.) You’ll also need to practice up on some interview skills. Tons of channels here do that. Always make sure to have 3 or 4 questions to ask them about the position and the company, and then ask them to explain the next steps (what happens after the interview).
Suck it up and do another one. These take a few weeks to a few months. You’re acting like you spent 10 years in medical school. The world is a rapidly changing and evolving place. The advice here will also likely change in 12 months. Your greatest skill to learn will be adaptability.
Data science is extremely complex. Actually lots of people are studying bootcamps thinking they will get a job soon . No , you wont companies don't trust 6 month courses for complex stuff . Web development is oversaturated of newbies but even though its the simplest and quickest way to get a job (of course after long months or at least a few)
Nobody pays for certificates. Recruiters and hiring managers prioritize a candidate's skillset, domain experience, and relevant technical abilities. A certificate is merely a nice addition, like a cherry on top of a cake, but it doesn't hold value without the foundational skills. There is still no definitive way to measure the impact of certificates on job prospects.
@@ShaneHummus Your contents are really insightful and to-the-point with no frill. My focus is on several tech stacks, and because of this video I started to investigate Coursera and really really impressed with what they can offer. To tell you the truth, I invested a lot of money (Over £1000+ Pounds) over the last few years purchasing Udemy discount courses and I realized employers do not really give value to Udemy Certificate of Completion. Now, I shifted my gear thanks to your video and gonna invest my hard earned cash on Coursera courses notably Google Data Analytics, IBM System Admin & Software Engineering and IBM Full Stack JavaScript Developer. Let me know how investing in Coursera can get you commission so that you can continue to produce such a high quality contents here ... Best!
Was thinking of doing the ibm dev ops cert. I am a bootcamp grad app academy full stack dev. Got lucky and got a year in Lyft as apprentice/intern then market got back program ended. But having hard time getting even a phones screen / interviews wonder if this cert will give me a leg up. Or go to more demand stuff like data analysis?
I took most of that certifications and still didn't get any remote job managers when they hear that I'm from Somalia and based in they gonna run away our problem is the location
Hi Shane, I just came across this video and I don't see the link to the Google Project Management certification in your description. Are you still connected to Coursera?
am at the last course of the google project management and i have just started the google IT support professional certificate the project management one is not for beginners at all
Hi @ShaneHummus, I just completed the Google IT Support Professional Certificate within the 7-day free trial. But this is mostly because I have prior knowledge and never took any other certification courses. I plan to take more Google IT certs thanks to this video.
This video is now the game plan! the person who sent it to me 6 months ago now makes 90,000 with only one certification! Listen to me -Each certification is the equivalent of $10K to $20K more each year. The person who sent me the video was my ex Wally had one certification! I'm not affiliated with this channel - I'm just a black dude in New Orleans who is pissed off because he didn't do this in the '90s. 😡
Im a SAHM and i want to stay a sahm but interested in working part time on my own clock as my family is my #1 priority and i homeschool but would like to go back to work from home part tjme. Any recommendations for the best thing to do on this list or maybe not on this list.
DO NOT DO UX, WASTE OF TIME, YOU WOULD NEED HUNDREDS OF HOURS WITH AN AMAZING PORTFOLIO BECAUSE YOU ARE COMPETING AGAINST SENIOR APPLICANTS AND NOT OTHER JUNIORS
I like the content by I'd disagree with the title. In my experience, certifications are insufficient to land you a job. If you really want to get a job, you need to learn these skills inside out. For that, you need hands on projects. However, the video highlights some great skills to acquire in this digital age and I'd like to thank Shane for sharing these with the tech enthusiasts. 👍🏽
Great content like always. Just wanted to get something clear. If I subscribe to coursera plus can i get access to any course i want without paying again?
Coursera+ does NOT include every single thing they host. It does cover a lot of topics and interests, specialities, paths, etc but not everything. Also, there are formal degrees you can obtain on there. I’ve been a subscriber for several years and use it all the time. Just want to clarify that not everything is included in the membership. You also have complete a path before you can start another. You can pause the current one and switch then resume where you left off but you can only take one at a time. Hope this helps

are taking these certifications alone enough to land a job. For instance the Saleforce course, ive always seen Salesforce jobs or Tech Sales jobs requiring a few years of hands on experience even if they are entry level? So how does a person with no prior experience land a job in these fields?
Her savasa girme ! Secici ol ! rekabeti goze aliyorsan once bedelini hesaplamalisin. Girilmemesi gereken yollar vardir, saldirilmamasi gereken kentler vardir. Mucadeleye gerek olmayan yerler vardir.
Both, but mainly companies that use it. But don't expect to actually get a job without a few medium to advanced certs. The beginner certs are too easy to get.
It seems like these are not actually industry respected certifications but are just certificates of completion for various Coursera courses. There is a big difference between the two. Even legitimate certifications do not guarantee a job, but the certificates of completion in this video are almost worthless on a resume. Take the classes to get the knowledge, but then go and take the necessary exams to get the more valuable certifications.
