COVID19 has the world turned upside down. We are sheltering in place, numerous businesses are closed, and people are dying by the thousands. With 30 million Americans out of work (myself included) the current economic depression we are entering has made matters dismal. Finding work in this current state is more fiercely competitive than ever. So much uncertainty is in the air that we don’t even know what to do with ourselves. How do you stand out in the hoards of other applicants, applying to all of the same jobs as you?

The Digital Marketing Nanodegree from Udacity will teach you valuable marketing lessons in this ever changing fast paced industry, permitting you to shine like the star you are to future employers. The flexible online program will grow your marketing skills through straightforward content and access to mentors, allowing you to develop into a marketing pro. The program is also perfect if you are still currently employed or are home with your children because of the flexible go-at-your-own pace. This is an easy to follow course taught by industry leaders that will provide you an authentic certificate upon completion. Want to own your own business someday? What better way than investing in yourself now?

That’s why I’ve decided to take this time to brush up on my skills and become certified.
