August 27, 2010, Newsletter Issue #55: In a Difficult Job Market, IT Certifications Provide Reassurance

Tip of the Week

IT certifications can provide technology professionals the added advantage they need to sustain their careers in the turbulent job market. There are many factors that most IT pros cannot control, such as the dynamics of the economy and many of the budgetary decisions of upper management. So how can IT professionals help insulate themselves from the fallout of economic turmoil?

While there are no absolute guarantees, IT certifications have been shown to provide tech personnel with additional job security. Technology pros are able to leverage their IT certification training to show their employers that they are willing to take additional challenges to keep their skills current. This shows an additional level of commitment as compared to their non-certified colleagues. When faced with having to reduce staff numbers, businesses want the biggest bang for their buck. Therefore, they are going to keep those individuals that have the broadest range of skills and those that can offer the greatest value to their organization.
