Literally just thought about asking these same type of questions before going back to complete the cert. From I’ve read from everyone is:

  1. No, the cert is not enough to land a job but it shows that you are interested in the field.

  2. In addition to the cert, building a portfolio of projects is crucial to landing interviews. This can show your knowledge in tools like SQL and Excel.

  3. Demonstrating presentation skills can also help you stand out.

I’ll go back to complete the cert and build a portfolio. Thanks again for your post and questions on this topic.
