Now is the time to earn your certifications.
What's the big deal about professional certifications?
Let's put it this way: Would you trust someone to do your taxes if they didn't have the letters "CPA" after their name? Would you let someone perform open-heart surgery on you if they didn't have their MD?
Earning your IT or project management certifications proves to the world that you mean business — that you've got the knowledge, the skills, and the expertise to not only do the job, but do it at peak performance. Here are 10 other reasons you need your certification.
