<p>I have10 Years of Work experience in a News Channel in India. I am a media professional and I have recently shifted to dubai. I hold a masters degree in Mass Communication Will a digital / social media course help me get a job?</p>
Try to identify a course which challenges you with hands-on experience. I did a course at NIIT imperia which was a total waste of money and time.The NIIT course although given at their centres is broadcasted from a central place and the tutors only care for their time and money.
The course costed me,fourty four thousand Rs and non of the batch mates either got placed not learnt anything meaningful and practial. So be careful, there are many institutes which are mediocre, even the big brands.
As someone who got an undergraduate degree in Journalism, I groomed myself in the filed of multimedia journalism and digital marketing. Here are some recommendations.
1) Google Analytics Certification
2) OR Google Apps Certifications (choose from3)
3) Adobe Digital Analyst Certification (I highly recommend)

It also would be a great idea to become an Adobe certified Expert in InDesign CC and Illustrator CC
Hey Asha, Can't say for sure as I am in India :).
But nevertheless you can go for Google Adwords or Analytics certification. It depends on your speed and Google Analytics certification costs only $50 and as gor Google Adwords certification, you can do it for free if you have a Google Partner account. If you don't have I just PM me, I shall fix you one. And as you already have some experiance in Media, I guess Adwords certification will be a better fit.
