As a newbie, it is very overwhelming and confusing the amount of associations available to become a member of...is there a industry standard that I should be attemting to become a part of? It is hard to distinguish which are legitimate and which are not...does anyone have any opinions as to which ones that are good to join? the same goes for any certs available? How important is it to be certified???
As always, I appreciate the input and responses! This is a wonderful community to be a part of
