I see people grinding certifications and still stuck without interviews 😤. I used to think more certs meant more job offers 📚➡️💼. What most people don’t realize is certs are just table stakes, not leverage ⚠️. HR uses certs to filter, not to hire 🧠. The real decision happens when a human asks “Can this person do the job?” 🤔. That’s where most cert-only candidates fall apart 💥. I’ve watched people with fewer certs get hired faster because their strategy was right 🎯. Certs matter, but only when they’re paired with proof and positioning 🔗. If you’re stacking certs without a plan, you’re burning time ⏳. I put together a simple framework that fixes this fast 🚀. Comment "CERTS" and I’ll DM you my Cert Strategy Cheat Sheet.
