Thanks! Great post!
I am in the market for a job and it’s funny how stupid little certificates make a difference.
I spent 2 years of my life and thousands of dollars to get an MBA. It doesn’t make the phone ring.
I spent 3 days and $100.00 to get qualified as a “Scrum Master” and the phone rings off the hook.
Same for a “PMP” qualification or “Prince2” in the UK.
Hoping to land something soon...
If I do not get a job soon, my next “development” objective is to take a 6Sigma class, maybe all of 5 days.
People love that nonsense.
Buzzwords of the year, should be the list.
that’s because those skills are actually needed by businesses and the world. most of us go to gov school for 12 years. learn nothing we can use. i went many more years to gov funded state university . got a piece of paper. learned nothing i could use to make a living or money . many years wasted .but the media said all we needed was that piece of paper from college. they lied .
OK - where did you go to get Scrum Master for $100? :-)
#7 I hate when all that scrum coats my pots and pans. Thanks for being there for us who cannot clean. : )
