Have you ever earned a digital certificate or a badge? If yes, how do you make use of them?

I have a couple digital certificates from Coursera, putting them on my resume definitely gave me leverage in applying for jobs where my actual degree was not a 100% match. In a way, once you are advanced enough into your career and an additional degree does not make much sense as an investment, a great way to go is to get certified online in some areas. Similar to any extra credits I could've taken in uni, but with higher value now actually as I choose the courses that complement my already existing job experience and even help negotiate better pay as well.

YES! I took @davechesson 's course about Amazon ads. For a while a posted this on my website (I got 100%!) because I also help people publish books and market them (Amazon ads etc.) This helped boost my authority.

I have received digital certificates from many fields, most notably in the field of Seo and Digital Marketing. I show it on my linkedin and my cv. I usually prefer the free ones.

Yes, earning digital certificates or badges can be a great way to showcase your skills and accomplishments. These digital credentials are often used to enhance your professional profile, share achievements on social media, or include in your resume to highlight your expertise. For instance, if you've earned a digital badge related to PMP exam prep, it can signify your commitment to mastering project management principles and preparing for the PMP exam. This not only helps validate your knowledge but also demonstrates your dedication to advancing your career in project management.
