Will an AWS Certification get me a Job?

[@jtg753]

It's good to be honest about this. I got initially misled, being told that Cloud Practitioner would be enough. Luckily other youtubers corrected that, but still some don't add that even it is not enough.

[@TechwithLucy]

Agreed, the cloud pract certification alone is definitely not enough

[@franciscomedinav]

Everything has a beginning.

[@shinobusensui9395]

what about that cert and 10 years of experience as in the field, doing desktop related stuff and being a coordinator?

[@lastraven7205]

Even AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, Will not be enough

Hi Lucy, thank you so much for sharing valuable information related to careers in AWS. Could you please make a video or share the resources which will help us prepare for the AWS interviews?

[@purplecrayon7281]

Having a cert will make your CV more attractive and increases your chances for a job interview, but it will not increase your chances of actually landing a job. I know people with CCNP and CCIE who are jobless.

[@thumpertorque_]

What are some good certs or skills to learn after getting AWS to maximize hiring potential? Not talking about the soft skills.

[@frenckyfbcm]

By themselves aws certs of course got value but do not think once you get certified then …boom…every door will be opened to you - real industry scenarios require much more than the “paper” -> meaning certs are a good starting point but v often not enough to say you re ready to work and master what you are expected to know (expecially while considering associate level courses ) - do agree with #gocloudarchitects …in order to be #cloudhired cert is only 10-20% of the whole knowledge you actually need (currently am 5x aws cert including sap-c01 and ans c01)

Having worked in environments with cloud technology and VMs (CNN and Turner Broadcasting) getting certs is simply an added bonus. i have a college degree and I am learning python Dont let anyone tell you that certs even the practitioner wont land you a job.. Keep getting educated and keep working for the job you want. Even if it means going to anyone country ..

[@donnoorxashinoor9001]

Exactly. At least it's a knowledge built up over time and an added skill into your CV. When you're called into interview, it's how you sell yourself that matters 👍. Started learning more about aws and EC2 few days ago and it looks interesting to be honest. Inshallah I will be successful

Hello Lucy, Frankly speaking, I have no experience in cloud, networking, Firewall, Linux or even Python. Do you think it would be wise for me to prepare for AWS Cloud Practitioner Certificate ? Or, can I start without having any knowledge of this and still crack the exam ? Please guide

[@purplecrayon7281]

I'm sure you could still crack the exam if you have the study materials and can memorize the answers. But how do you intend to answer questions if you are asked cloud computing, networking, Linux server OS, during the actual job interview?

[@abjtg8419]

Firstly, start by asking yourself what you wish to do , what kind of job you want to have. If you are determined to have a job in IT, then nowadays it is absolutely necessary to learn cloud computing. About 10-15 years ago, it was essential to have a knowledge of one of the programming languages, database. This forms the base of ur knowledge of the IT systems and comes in handy when you work on a real project. You can choose from AWS or Azure for cloud computing, because these two have lot of free resources for learning. If you are interested in designing, you can explore front end technologies for app & web design. If you are interested in how data is stored and managed, you can check different back end technologies like database. There are other streams based on the data like data science , business intelligence etc. Long story short cloud computing will be a stepping stone , then it’s really your interest in technology to learn other skills.

[@broudidierkonan5452]

Hello @Tech With Lucy, please for the SAA 03 exam once you have paid for the composition. How many chances do you have to pass, that is if you did not pass the first attempt. Are you given other chances to take the same exam without paying or is it a chance alone. Thank you in advance.
