​It’s no secret that these are tough times for candidates in the IT market, so what can you do to differentiate yourself? 🤷‍♀️

Over the month we’ll post a selection of ‘Skill Spotlights' where we highlight certain certifications or skills we find to be particularly desirable to hiring managers.

Today we’ll talk about… 🤔

Business Analysts - IIBA Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) 
The International Institute of Business Analysis is an organization championing global standards for business analyst professionals. This is an industry standard qualification and demonstrates your credibility as a Business Analyst putting you a step ahead of the rest.

Project Managers - Project Management Professional (PMP)
The PMP certification is globally recognized and signifies a high level of competence in Project Management. This is a knowledge-based certification and can certainly improve your hireability and earning potential.

Scrum Masters - Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)
SCRUM methodology is gaining increasing popularity in the industry and the CSM certification is considered the ‘gold standard’. This certification is particularly useful if you’re a Scrum Master or Agile coach. However, it’s also useful if you have this responsibility as part of your Business Analyst or Project Manager role.

Service Delivery - ITIL Foundation Certification
This is another broadly useful certification for service management and delivery roles. It validates your knowledge of the industry standard framework and proves your efficient and effective work style.

This is only a small piece of the pie. We’ll highlight more useful certifications in other areas of IT over the coming weeks. 🥧
