How to Use Skill Certifications the Right Way

from Career Skills with Fexingo: Hard Skills, Soft Skills, and Future-Proofing Your Career · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna explore the strategic use of skill certifications, using the example of a project manager who earned a PMP but struggled to land a role. They discuss when certifications add value versus when they waste time, how to choose the right one, and how to leverage it in a job search. Lucas shares data from a 2025 LinkedIn survey showing that 56% of hiring managers view certifications as less credible than demonstrated project work, leading to a conversation about combining credentials with proof. Luna brings up the concept of certification stacking from the tech industry, and they debate whether employer-sponsored certifications carry more weight than independent ones. The episode closes with practical advice on using certifications as a signal, not a shortcut. #SkillCertifications #PMP #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #ResumeTips #ProjectManagement #CertificationStrategy #Careers #HardSkills #SoftSkills #FutureProof #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerAdvice #Hiring #JobSearch #LinkedIn #SkillValidation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
