“From my perspective as a hiring manager, these designations are a window into an individual´s work ethic and clearly demonstrate an ability and drive that are needed to excel in today’s demanding environment. When comparing two candidates who may be equal in all other qualities, I will gravitate toward hiring the one who has shown a commitment toward continuing education.”
