Is AWS certification worth it /u/imhereyourewhere CSCQ protests reddit

Hi there,

I’m a software engineer in Canada, and I’ve been struggling to land a new job after being laid off about a year ago. I have 1 year of experience working at an airline company, where I used Spring Boot, React.js, and GraphQL.

So far, I’ve submitted 500+ applications but only managed to get 2 technical interviews. I performed well in one (but wasn’t selected) and struggled in the other, which felt unusually challenging for a junior role.

I also have a personal project, a news aggregator app using AI, but it’s not currently online.

Would an AWS certification help improve my job prospects? If not, what other steps can I take to make myself a better candidate? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
