Looking for entry-level certificates that actually help you crack the market
I’m a Comp Sci major minoring in Data Science, and the internship hunt has been brutal. I’ve applied to over 100 roles and landed none. From talking to friends who actually got positions, it seems like they either had a "hook" through someone they knew or already had previous intern experience. As someone without those connections, it feels almost impossible to crack the market right now.
I want to use my downtime to hone my skills and make my resume look better for entry-level and internship roles. I know people say certificates aren't useful for senior roles, but I'm strictly looking for things that carry weight at the beginner level. To be clear, I’m looking for certificates, not professional certifications. Any recommendations for what actually looks good to a recruiter when you have zero experience?
