I had a moment in my third year when it seemed that it was simply unrealistic to get into a normal company without “connections”. My friends had a similar story. But one guy seriously said: “If you want to be noticed, get at least one professional certification”. And you know, it worked.

I recently came across an article that explains why professional certificates really boost your career: achievable.me
I especially liked how they explained the ROI of certificates and how to choose them correctly. If you are studying or just starting your career, this is a must read.
