Is azure certification enough to get a job?

I'm exploring career options and wanted to understand the weightage of Azure certification in the job market. I'm keen to learn what else employers look for and how I can strengthen my profile to increase my chances of securing a rewarding position in this field

  • Hello ericcartel113.

    A certification is a way for you to get a proof of your skills and knowledge, but you also need hands-on experience to be able to demonstrate that you are proficient in Azure and you can work with Azure.
    Also consider that Azure is big and complex platform and there are several different certifications related to it: you have to consider which one is closer to your skills and experience.
    Bye.

    Obtaining an Azure certification validates your skills and knowledge in the cloud domain, setting you apart in today's competitive job market. It proves to employers that you are committed to professional development and proficient in using one of the leading cloud platforms. In my opinion, every candidate must use a practice test to prepare for the Azure certification exams. They help you get familiar with the exam format, identify areas for improvement, and build confidence for the actual test.

  • Hey ericcartel113 

    Azure certification is a great start, but employers also look for hands-on experience, knowledge of other cloud platforms, programming skills, and soft skills like problem-solving and communication. Real-world projects and networking can also boost your profile. For more tips and job opportunities, check out Indeed Jobs.

    Hope this helps! 😊

      Azure certification is a valuable asset, but it’s not enough on its own to secure a job. Employers typically look for practical experience, relevant projects, and strong soft skills alongside certifications.
