Experience or certification what matters the most in current market?

Hiring managers and HR people try to be on the safe side so they insist on certification. However, without experience and right attitude, certification is worthless. When hiring an expert., I look for 1) attitude 2) intelligence 3) experience (life experience in general, if no procurement experience) and then if there is a certificate in the package, good for me. However, if there is 1) and 2) , 3) and 4) don't matter. Procurement is not rocket science, attitude and intelligence is everything in our line of work.

Depending on the job and the area of IT. In areas such as project and change management, having the right certifications is a prerequisite to getting the job. In others – such as infrastructure – a qualification is worthless unless it is accompanied by practical experience.

Experiance With good Qualifications can meet the good target

If we go back to the basic job requirement outlined by HR experts, we can find that their emphasis on graduate degree in most professional categories was derived from their future expectation and progression plans for candidates. Generally, graduates will have the fundamentals of their specialty, which will enhance their learning curve and knowledge to develop quality employees.

However, in some cases experience and proper training of employees can also, develop quality employees. Therefore, we have to evaluate the job requirement for current and future need before making a decision to which matters; certification or experience.

Knowledge is very important then experience in job

This depends on how the department is structured. I would suggest that the junior levels, experience matters. As the workers progress up the chain they need the ability to introduce current industry theoretical aspects to keep the business competitive..

first Experience then certification. 

Experience or certificate both are important for career development in this current market. Certificate will help you in getting primary job from where you can acquire required experience for the next level. On the other hand, only experience is not ok if you do not have such level of certification. If you want to move to the top position of the organization you do need to have higher level of professional certification which can prove that yes you are the right candidate for this position.

So, I think both are quite important simultaneously for the betterment of the career.

Thanks for invitation

For Entry level or Junior positions, academic/university  certification would be OK to apply for the position 

For mid level or senior level position, a relevant experience in the concerned industry  and professional certification*(explained below)  is necessary.

It may be noted here that importance of professional certification is becoming more and more important now -a-days. To acquire a professional certification like CIPS, CFA , PMI, Professional Engineering  and so on, one need to have a bachelor degree, enrol in certification programme, study and pass the certification exam. The certification is recognised worldwide  as the certification  programme itself verify the quality of your academic degree and then you have to pass rigorous certification exam. Passing any certification  programme is good investment in career 

Both these things are important in my point view!

Because in one or another way both certification and experience are required to prove our capabilities.

"Certification is always for rewards and good course of conduct at some department so its importance cannot be ruled out"

It never happens that certification is made for some bad character or like that!
