    Hi folks,

    Wasn't sure if this was more suited to the software forum or the jobs forum. I went with software since it's a fairly specific question

    Anyway, I'm currently on the job hunt and not getting the same amount of traction as a few years ago. Things have definitely changed with a lot more people seemingly applying for fewer jobs

    I've been doing some AWS training since cloud development knowledge is definitely a gap in my CV. I'm debating getting certified as an AWS developer as well just so I've got something I can put on my CV

    I'm wondering if it's worthwhile though, on one hand it's probably of some use to a recruiter to know that someone else has confirmed the applicant isn't a twat.

    On the other hand, I was always distrustful of people putting their hacker rank scores and stuff on their CV. It's easy enough to just Google the solutions and pass all the tests so I always felt it wasn't necessarily a good reflection on their abilities

    What are people's thoughts, do the certificates mean anything to ye when you're hiring?
