ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Jan. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Stephen Van Vreede, CEO of ITtechExec,published a new article titled “How Many Certifications Do You Really Need?” In the article, he weighs the benefits and repercussions of padding resumes with certifications, advising job seekers to first fully assess whether they are necessary.

Van Vreede says, “Of course, showing off your skills and education is a good thing — but so is real-world work experience. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of certification-collecting rather than working towards the skills that will actually move your professional life where you want it to go. And because you don’t have infinite time, you need to prioritize the ways you develop professionally.”
