Any Certification is Better Than No Certification

What distinguishes you in the job market is not your degree. It is not your experience. It's your certifications.

In this video I share why any certification is better than no certification.
It is expected that everyone in internal audit has a degree and experience. What makes you stand out are the certifications you have, and especially ones that are relevant to your career path and are different than what everyone else has. That is how you stand out in the job market.
Audit leaders with 10 years of experience, a CPA and/or CIA all look the same. But, someone who also has the Certified Chief Audit Executive® (cCAE) distinguishes themselves from all the other resumes and candidates. https://criskacademy.teachable.com/p/ccae/
Internal auditors who don't have any certifications find it more difficult to find jobs and get promoted, since #certifications are what hiring managers are looking for to know who to interview.
Any certification on your resume is better than no certification. If you find yourself in that situation, there are now certifications you can earn in 1-2 months, instead of waiting years to get certified, and years to get a job in internal audit or get promoted.

And, if you find yourself wanting to add more certifications to stand out, those certifications are also relevant for you.
