DON'T CHASE CERTIFICATIONS!
They won’t bring you a scholarship or a job but this will.

If you think an Online Course Certification from platforms like Coursera, Edx, Udemy or any boot camp certificate will get you a scholarship or a job, then you are wrong.
No employer cares about a certificate.
They only care about your meaningful experience or skills that you learn from those specific online courses.
This is far better than just grabbing the certificates without gaining any significant knowledge from them.

Would you hire an overweight personal trainer?
Don't think so!
He might have certifications but he doesn't walk the talk.
The same goes for most of the other fields that you are learning online.

What you have to do is super simple:
Use the knowledge from the online course and implement it in the form of a project, article, research paper, blog with your hands and mind.
This will prove that you understood the course you took.

Whether it's a degree or an online course certification, the most important criteria is showing that the course you took has practical value.
The practical value is in form of a post, a blog or a couple of educational videos to enlighten you audience.
