We live in a very fast paced world where the requirement for a particular skill may be high at one time and then the demand will suddenly decline. This is just how it is and all we can do is adapt as much as we can to ensure that we can survive. The only security we can find is if we learn how to acquire new skills fast. And it's not really that hard to acquire new skills if you're really interested in learning.

Once you have acquired a new skill, you can easily demonstrate it if you are asked to. The problem is you will have to be certified for a certain skill or skill set before even an employer even agrees to schedule an interview with you. Brick and mortar schools charge too much for a skill you already know and just need certification. Good thing you have the option to self certify.

Self certification is a viable option for those who want to be recognized as a skilled professional but don't have the time for formal training. There are many self certification tests available and the online tests are the most convenient. Once you self certify, you will have some proof to put in your resume for a skill that you already know.

Remember that to self certify is only to validate the skills the you already have. You will still have to pay your due diligence to actually learn that important skill. The good thing is you can learn almost anything for free as information about every topic imaginable is available online. You can also use free libraries, online of offline.

Self certification provides a good way to put what you know into paper. This helpful for the employer and ultimately for the job seeker as those less skilled applicants will be sifted out.
