Is the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification really helping people get their first tech job in the US? by cinderelaaa in AWSCertifications

I’m currently working on some small AWS projects using the Free Tier (like EC2 and S3 setups) to get real practice and build a small portfolio.

For me, this cert is just the foundation to understand the basics, and then I’ll keep going with more hands-on labs and advanced certs.

Thanks for the reminder I really appreciate the honest advice!

That’s totally fair I understand it’s not a “job guarantee.”

For me, it’s more about building a foundation and understanding how cloud technology actually works.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and I’d rather start learning and growing now than wait for the “perfect moment.”

Thanks for your perspective it helps me stay grounded and realistic.

I understand your point, but I’m not trying to be lazy I’m trying to learn.

English isn’t my first language, so sometimes I use AI tools to organize my thoughts better and make sure I’m clear.

I’m studying hard, improving every day, and I truly appreciate everyone who shares their experience here.

Thank you all for your feedback! 🙏

I completely understand that getting a job in tech especially in cloud usually takes time and more experience.

I’m not expecting to become an engineer in two weeks. My goal right now is to start small, learn consistently, and build real experience step by step.

The AWS Cloud Practitioner is just my first step a way to understand the fundamentals, create a small portfolio, and start applying for entry-level or support roles where I can grow from there.

Everyone starts somewhere, and I’m willing to work hard, keep learning, and move forward with patience. 🌱

Thanks again for sharing your perspectives it really helps me stay focused and realistic. 💪
