Never ending Linkedin certifcates

[Zigenare]

I'm working through this one at the moment:

Ableton Live 9: Programming Beats

Recently did these ones:

Learning Synth Programming

Learning Synth Programming: Beyond the Basics Online Class | LinkedIn Learning, formerly Lynda.com

Since lockdown I've done a load of songwriting, mixing, singing and piano courses as well - all on Linkedin

That's nice. I've been working for a living.

Anyone put a post on linkedin with a picture of a new certificate.

Find in slightly annoying.

Basket weaving for beginners!!

Not sure why you find it annoying?

I find a lot of the content useful. I'm studying for an AWS certification at the moment but I've still done quite a few LinkedIn courses to gain some knowledge of new topics for me like data science and machine learning.

In the upcoming catastrophic job market post the furlough scheme ending, every little bits helps. Saying in an interview that you did a few LinkedIn courses during furlough will sound better than confessing you watched a load of Netflix box sets.

Considering the amount of non-work stuff posted on LinkedIn, a picture of a certificate seems a bit low on my list of things to get wound up about

I've never bothered with Lynda, despite LinkedIn offering me free courses. Did they cost you anything?

I thought this might actually score them points i.e. have some practical benefit beyond looking good?

I was under the impression that it has to do with some kind of partnership program with MS. The more employees that are certified the better.

Exactly this. For any consultancy wanting to be an MS partner with Silver or Gold status with certain specialisations they need a number of employees to hold MCPs in those areas. This is usually in addition to other things like revenue generated through sales of MS licenses, cloud subscriptions etc.

I put my ITIL 4 Managing Professional cert on as I was the first contractor in the country to hold it and I was out of work at the time. It did help as well so very worthwhile. General certs then no I wouldn't bother.

You should put your cert badgets on Linkedin. You'll get loads of views and likes from your network, and anyone that follow their likes will see also. It can raise your profile, and you never know it could lead to your next gig.

Once I added an Azure badge on there and a pimp must have been scanning for them as he immediately sent me a LI message.

I've got all my certs on there. For an oldie like me it just shows that I'm still relevant as they are; a) for newish technology, b) recently dated.
