And does it matter if they show up on applicants LinkedIn profiles or just resumes?

(I know some ATS slurp up LinkedIn profile data, but not sure how prominently it’s shown.)

    I have a master’s in CS. Currently teaching freshman/sophomore level courses, and have regularly done little side projects and internships in development. However, my only *career * experience is in desktop support and operations. Since I’ve been out of the game to focus on the master’s degree and my programming chops, I thought I would try for a Networking+ and Security+ to better poise myself for a DevOps position. This thread has me seriously second-guessing that career plan.

      Get a portfolio, not a certificate. Portfolios actually both teach you to be better and are usually appreciated when hiring. I never even look at anyone’s certificates, and usually not even CVs before seeing at least some code they have written.
