This part specifically confuses me. Some people say it’s better to not include it, while others say you’re more likely to get hired if you do. I used a resume with a photo for two years, but recently switched to one without a photo because many people told me it’s more ATS-friendly.
Just saw a job post for Burger King in Bahrain , guess it is coming back for real
What are some certifications I can get that might boost my chances of finding a job? I tried getting a diploma in HR, but it never worked out. Honestly, I'm not a risk-taker, and I'm afraid I might waste my time getting certified in something that won't help me find a job.
Is it actually worth getting a certification in something else?
I graduated with a multimedia systems degree almost 2 years ago, and honestly, the field feels impossible right now. AI is taking over, the market is super competitive, and employers want people who use AI tools rather than designing from scratch. Plus, they always ask for a ton of experience. I’ve worked on my portfolio and my work is okay, but it’s clearly not enough for them. To be real, I didn’t even enjoy my major anyway.
So now, after 2 years, I’m thinking: what if I just get certified in project management or something?
But I have a couple of honest doubts:
Right now, all I have on my resume is a 2-month training & development internship, a 1-month internship at a tiny "media" company, and about 9 months of volunteer work where I teach, design slides, and help organize activity days and trips.
Would love to hear some real advice on whether this is a smart move or a waste of time.
