Ambitious employees decide to advance their professional qualification for further promotion. They can get highly specialized knowledge in a professional field or get trained in general management skills, for example to get an MBA. The financiers and accountants having ACCA and other certificates have access to managerial and financial positions, the level of wages iincrease in the leading western companies.
- There is another motivation for this issue. Many specialists, for this or that reason, decide to fundamentally change the scope of activities. To develop new skills they need to get some theoretical basis and practice them. This can be achieved through a variety of courses and seminars. It is believed that short-term education quickly yields tangible results. In order to get a positive response from the employer the applicant should try to clearly tell about the perspectives of the knowledge gained in the framework of new positions. Many people want to document their experience and achieved results, for what the take exams and get certificates.
Many professions require continuous training from specialists, they should be aware of all the changes, current trends and innovations; in IT companies it is necessary that technical specialists attend training courses and seminars connected with specialization, also it is required the presence of some certificates.
The presence of trainings and seminars in resume of course add some extra points for the candidates. However during the interview the candiadate should confirm his knowledge as mentioned in the diploma. As the practice shows, our specialist penetrates into the specifics of the work at least in three months period. Of course attending additional seminars, workshops and courses is priviledge for the candidate, but first and foremost the employee pays attention to his knowledge that is revealed during the interview.
For the employees it is necessary not the quality of received certificates, but such factors as the level of general education, work experience, a set of business and personal qualities and professional achievements.
