[/caption]Professional Certificates are keys for your Career growth in any industry. A certificate confirms your professional knowledge to your organization, clients and opportunities. In a recent discussion with group of students and professionals from various businesses, for a social media purpose – we discussed about this topic elaborately. I experienced that, many of them were not having information and plan regarding which professional certificates are suitable for their career growth. Here, I am sharing a quick plan for my readers.
The Plan: It works well with a blank white paper and pen.
- Make a Quick note about you and your current career. Add points about what is your career plan for next 3 years.
- Choose the right professional certification suitable for your career plan.
- Discuss with your mentor, and with the organization which provides the certificate to understand about the possibilities of growth with this certification. [Try to get information about alternatives too]
- Schedule for preparation and follow it. Preparation is not just paid class-room sessions. Learn from Internet, Books, Magazines, Social Media and Friends. Read Case Studies, Articles, Q&A if required. Work-out Templates with real-time data if possible. Ask questions.
- Go for the Professional Certification and earn it.
- Update your Profile, and promote yourself in Social Media and Friends Circle.
- Don’t stop learning – Continues learning helps you keep fit for future. Share your knowledge as articles, Tweets, Social Media Posts with friends and community.
- Build best practices inside your organization with earned knowledge.
All the best..!!
