November 2022 Certification List Update
Okay everybody! This November update is 4 days late but it is here.
This November I have not received any new certification. I passed my Google Cloud Digital Leader on October 27, 2022. GCP ‘officially’ said that I passed November 2, 2022; however, since I counted my pass in October, I cannot count it twice in November.
What I have been doing is gotten accepted into the Microsoft Learn Career Connected Dynamics 365 program. As a community college student, I qualify for the free Microsoft fundamentals certification. I have started studying MB-910 Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Fundamentals because this was covered in my small business management course.
Accomplishments
- 11/11 — Had GCP informational interview with GCP Cloud Engineer
- 11/13 — Accepted into Microsoft Learn Career Connected
- 11/14–11/18 — Azure Cloud Week for Partners AZ-204 and AZ-305
What’s Different From October 2022?
Two important things: I did not pursue my AWS Solutions Architect Professional or my GCP Associate Cloud Engineer. Regarding the Solutions Architect Professional, I did not feel like I had enough turnaround time since I passed my GCP Cloud Digital Leader and that whole Kryterion test delay debacle.
Regarding the GCP Associate Cloud Engineer, I had my GCP Cloud Engineer informational interview. He said that he mainly used his Professional Cloud Architect; and, that the Associate Cloud Engineer certification was for technicians. Furthermore, since I had over 1 year’s cloud experience, I could go straight for the Professional Cloud Architect and not the Associate Cloud Engineer.
GCP Cloud Associate Engineer is on my original January 2022 certification list. https://carlarjenkins.com/my-2022-certification-list/ Ditching it would be my third certification (SC-300 and SC-400 because I passed my SC-100 expert level certification and did not need two associate level certifications).
Thus far, I have completed on that list:
- Facebook Digital Marketing Associate
- GCP Cloud Digital Leader
What’s Next?
- Continue interviewing for Google Cloud positions. I am getting traction from passing my GCP Cloud Digital Leader.
- Pass my MB-910 Microsoft CRM Fundamentals certification and leverage the Microsoft Learn Career Connected to land a Dynamics 365 position. I may also attend the December 2022 Business Applications Cloud Week for Partners since it covers Dynamics 365.
