CAP UPDAT E
CERTIFICATION SETS EMPLOYEES
APART
Besides demonstrating the recipient’s ability to apply their knowledge
and skills to comprehend and analyze
a real-life situation or issue, conduct an
analysis and make a recommendation
to the decision-maker, a certification
such as CAP establishes the confidence and credibility of the people who
are hired (i.e., right person for the right
job). Most hiring managers and supervisors will agree that the ideal employee
is much more than just an experienced
worker. In particular, she is a dedicated
professional with the right attitude as
well. Good indicators of attitude include
someone who is adaptable and willing
to learn new skills, as well as someone
who possesses the drive and confidence to demonstrate it, such as earning a relevant certification.
An individual who has chosen to invest time, money and effort to prepare for
and achieve certification demonstrates
dedication beyond any doubt. Because
the CAP certification requires completion
of professional development units (PDUs)
to maintain the certification, it is also an
indication that an individual is keeping upto-date with developments taking place in
the ever-changing analytics industry. This
is certainly a quality that all managers
look for in their potential employees.
