Certification is nothing when you cannot apply your skills at hand. Demotion is the word or be terminated from the job you are certified to do. So many workers who cling on to their certificates, seemed valid as shown they are graduates of prestigious Universities but when asked on how they can do their job meaningful and productive they have problems with and the "application" of such skills the more problematic employers are because these people with certificates lack the necessary skills to prove their worth.
Experience is the best teacher. Theories are nothing but theories only! Books are full of theories and you cannot bring your books at work and read them first before proceeding for work. Skills on doing the work properly, diligently and doing the work alone without the need for assistance. In other words, employers would like to see workers doing the work without the need to train them. To train them at the actual workplace is extra work and budget for the employer. That's not how it's being done in the workplace. The employers want the experienced worker who can work diligently with much enthusiasm, prepared for work wasting no time, work professionally as required and make sure they can perform perfectly in their chosen field of work and hopefully the business can maximize profit. Business for profit! A business without profit is a non-profit charitable organization where workers called volunteers are not paid.
In other words:
Training costs a lot of money. Employers and the company who will hire workers do not want to spend extra cost of financial burden teaching workers to do their work. You must have valid experience not only one but you must be equipped with variety of skills to prove that you a valuable worker for every company who wants to hire you.
That's why OJT or "On The Job Training" is a must and must be paid by the workers without valid experience to gain experience and it's for their own good. The University supposedly should be the one who should implement and emphasize the need for OJT before they graduate instead of the company giving the newly acquired workers to be trained. However, really it's about apprenticeship is the main concern of such employers and companies. I wonder what companies have the huge budget for such training of workers. Hm, the military: the ARMY, Marines, the NAVY, the QUANTICO, the Police Academy. Fill your biodata or comprehensive resume with several skills and experiences that will help you land the job that you expect and wish for.
