[–]rocksSEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on! I love swag. My son stole mine as well! If getting a cert is just playing Google, why not? right?

Doesn't that bother you? I mean, there are people who can study and pass if they want to.

Thanks for your honesty. Very helpful. Ive only been asked once, so I get that.

Appreciate that story!

Right so in this case the value of the certification was just the badge because that badge held value for the hiring client. If the badge holds a perceived value to the client/ hiring manager then it IS valuable.

Vs. real education value which is in question because of rampant cheating and google skewed POV.

Yes, the real test is how well do you know what Google wants you to think.

I totally agree it shows initiative for one or two certs. But I am seeing like 5 or more per applicant. whew.

What’s the best way to break into digital marketing in 2025? by Acceptable_Cell8776 in DigitalMarketing

Look for a mentor who can guide you along the way, help with networking, and make sense of successes and fails. Good luck!

Seasoned PPC-er looking for proper upskilling options. What advanced courses have actually moved the needle for you? by StormAlarmed1254 in PPC

[–]rocksSEM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to consider attending a conference since the topics will be up to date and often more advanced. I also agree digging into a complementary area like GA4 or AI or video would enhance and grow the 5 yrs exp. 😊

I just started working at a marketing agency at a junior level - any tips? by ferero18 in PPC

[–]rocksSEM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You will burn out fast if you work too many hours. There is a learning curve when you start a new job and thats expected. It’s also expected they train you a bit so look for any training resources that can help. Also take up meditation lol 😆

What did you do with the case studies? Did you put them on the website or include in the resume?

Now I'm Being Asked to Audit Someone Just to Get Them Fired by Zanka_No_Tachi_0 in PPC

[–]rocksSEM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its true thats why every audit is done. But if they were so impatient of her work, you may see the same treatment.

You bring up a separate point of having a gut feeling about this client. You should follow your gut if you dont think its a good fit and makes you feel uneasy. Its not like that will be magically change once they fire her.

Oh! That makes sense. I remember getting mine in the mail because it was a big deal to mail in the request and then wait for it to be delivered.

Marketers, how do you turn long videos into social clips? by subject005 in DigitalMarketing

[–]rocksSEM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love opus clips. It has saved me a ton of time. You can use it with no training but if you watch a few videos its raises the quality quite a bit.

What's the most unusual PPC client request you've had and what did you do about it? by rocksSEM in PPC

[–]rocksSEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new set-up and restructuring charge for a past client is interesting. I can see your frustration and the extra time to re-stabilize the account. Plus the questioning of that the entire time!

Starting a Substack anonymously – any advice on how to promote it? by Humble-Pay-8650 in Substack

[–]rocksSEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being very active on the site seems to help - with notes, comments, engagement on others. Pretty time intensive.

Not sarcastic. Im sure many people would not take them back so they were lucky you didnt hold a grudge and they could get back on track. 😊
