      A friend of mind is doing that for web development, I think. I'd probably treat it like any other cert: Chase the skills and the cert's an added bonus.

          If any company has insight and experience with what works, what doesn't, and how to kill things, it's Google.

            You'd like to think so - but after 20 years, you'd think they'd have a leading chat client. Instead we have the yoyo of chat clients from them.

              So I have a question.... Google isn't an IT company and does effectively no support. What does an IT Support Cert by Google imply? Why not a cert from Ford or Hasbro? None of them are IT companies. Having a cert by a company that doesn't do or know IT at all for an IT field and isn't a cert company, and doesn't even make products for the field... feels like it would, at best, look really awkward on a resume.

                    The funny thing is that I can't tell if you are joking or not.

                        I looked around at my desk and had a napkin from raisin canes, so I just used that...

                          🙂 That's good. but you could totally see a large restaurant chain having an internal cert for some reason, too.

                              Like @Dashrender said train for the job you want, not have

                                      That's going on my resume, just to see if anyone ever asks about it.
