Is the Google IT Cert Enough to Get a Job 

coursecareers.com/explore/it/ref/18242/

Hi all, just wanted to share my experience with the Google IT Certificate. I completed the Google IT Support certificate a month ago. I watch Josh’s videos almost religiously. I used his resume template, and took his advice on creating a GitHub, and interview practice. I’ve applied to about 90 jobs. I’ve had 4 interviews. I just received/accepted my first job offer as an IT Support Technician. No prior experience in tech. Transitioning from an overnight warehouse job. It is definitely possible to get an entry level job in IT, listen and do what Josh suggest. Side note, I would’ve also happily paid the price for his courses to expedite the process and get his one-on-one help but financially I couldn’t but if I had the extra money it would’ve gone to that 100%. Now with my new job and its boost in pay I will likely get his cybersecurity course in the near future. Thank you seriously Josh for all the value you provide with your content! Hope this helps those in the pursuit, keep going!

Good morning Josh. Not sure about 2023, but in 2022 the Google IT Professional Support certainly helped me land a Desktop Support Analyst role with a University and an interview with another. It wasn’t listed as a desired qualification in the job spec but when I talked about what the course entailed the interviewers appreciated it. They also have some sort skill stuff in the course too and template CV’s. I’d recommend it to somebody who wants to switch career.

I'm taking your IT course and the Google IT Cert at the same time, and so far, I'd say it's worth the $50. Even if it doesn't help me get a job, it's useful in other ways, such as providing great information that could help prepare me to take the Comptia a+ as well as being the prerequisite I need to get into WGU. It can be worth it depending on what u wanna do!

WGU actually had me take the Google IT cert in order to be accepted into their b.a program because I couldn't get my highschool transcript. So if you were like me, you can take this Google course to satisfy their entrance requirements

The almighty spreadsheet very helpful I must say! Overall great video as always!

Hey Josh, I’m currently about to graduate high school this spring and was wondering if it’s better to go to community or university college for IT, i understand that going to university can be expensive but with that I also want to minor in finance so I don’t think Community will offer that much of a better course, also as a side note, should I just take online courses like CBT nuggets or WGU rather than a college experience considering they may have a better perspective on the recent sort of trend to do with cloud computing?

Hello Josh! Thank you for another great content as always. Please can you give your input about WGU Bachelor degree in Network Engineering & Security compared to the Bachelor degree in Cloud Computing? Thank you in advance.

I have this cert and got the AZ 900 yesterday. They were nice to familiarize myself with terminology and basic concepts although it was brutal because I felt like I was looking up definitions literally every 10 seconds when watching, but neither cert teaches technical skills. On to learning about Active Directory. I need to resume spamming resumes.

Hey Josh, I've been working on a Coursera program called the Meta Android Developer. I really want to get into software development and I'm very interested in Android but I've also been considering the WGU Software Development degree. Do you think it's worth the extra money to get the degree or should I stick with the program I've been working on? Also, I don't currently work in IT and I have a degree in something else.

Ha that’s funny I just got asked to do this certification for a desktop support technician position

The IT field is frequently changing with new upgrades, innovations, new developments, technological advancements, etc. Hence the need for continued learning, updating latest technical info. and applying these latest technical features to produce quality output...the certs. lay the foundation for growth and development....

i finished the it support google cert earlier this month. not sure if im rdy for an entry level position because i never worked in it. i am changing career path from being a cook

The issue is that it’s a “certificate” not a “certification”

Hi Josh, can you talk about University of People IT Bachelors or Masters Degree? Great channel

Hey Josh, or if anyone else knows, what happens if we finish your course early? Do we still pay full price? I’m snatching it up regardless. Just curious. Thanks.

I know it’s a guaranteed way to get into WGU

Turning your hat sideways is such a based gigachad move.

WGU told me that because I don’t have experience and don’t have any certs that I have to take this Google IT very in order to be elgible to get in….did not know that and most channels don’t even speak on this!

Would you rank this cert higher than A+ or Course careers for entry level?

Please make a video on how to gain confidence for taking an interview coz the more i learn the more scared i am thinking i am not enough 😢

Based on my personal experience, I can say that Google Certificates alone may not take you very far in the UK, unless you have relevant experience, or even better, a bachelor's degree in computer science. However, it's worth noting that if you have sufficient practical experience, that can be considered valuable as well.

Good morning (evening?)! I noticed you recently doing more comparison videos and someone in a comment brought up the upcoming Software Engineering degree for WGU. Based on it's projected curriculum, how do you feel about it's "usefulness" for the classes included? Perhaps another, daresay, comparison video??? 😁😁🌴🌴 Keep up the good fight.

CompTIA Network+ > All of these Google certs Lmao that call to action at the end.

get a new mic bro like come on

just skip the intro so we dont have to

It sure hasn't helped me in any way. Other the knowledge.

What's the name of the song at the end?? I like it it's relaxing 😎
