Will an AWS Certification get me a Job in 2023?

Is an AWS Certification enough to get you a job?

In this video, I explain why having AWS Certifications alone is not enough to get you a job - and what you need to do to ACTUALLY land a role in the Cloud Computing Industry.

((If you are preparing for an AWS Certification, looking to start your career in Cloud, or just want to connect with others also interested in AWS / Cloud Computing - I'll see you there! 👋 ))

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.

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)

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

[levanceland]

Are there any locations you can recommend for AWS mentorship? Thanks a lot!

I'm will build my lab this week and employ clouds in virtual machines, do you have any advice as far as what exactly is necessary to cover in a project to meet the experience necessary to apply a cloud project in my resume?

[Antweezywchs]

I am interested in this and I am also employed at Amazon. Do you think that will help my chances of landing a future job?

Hi Lucy,
I'm new to IT/Cloud. I'm taking some paid course and now looking to prepare for the test. AWS has just few sample questions and answers. Any suggestions for more Q&A to prepare for the CCP Exam?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

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 ..

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.

Knowledge and hands on helps more than certification indeed

[zeeshanhabib]

Hi, if i am web developer which aws certification i should focus to stay in the web field

[VincentOnProduction]

Other than the AWS certification, would you still need to be knowledgable in IT for example the Grow with Google IT courses?

That's my next year goal after I get SA Professional and ML Specialty now in 2022!
"Be your work teammate!" hahaha or at least work in some of the FAANG companies. Thanks for the tips! (:
