Description:
It is important to ponder upon the nature of the industry before deciding what is needed and what is not. Human resources professionals are required to fill similar responsibilities at companies but of various degrees of privacy, freedom and scope. As such, certifications appear to be compulsory only in higher tier companies who crave only the best expertise on the market. Small to mid-range companies ask for certifications sometimes too, although this is rare. Experience is given great value, more so than secondary courses, and there are many with successful careers despite not having an HR certification.
