"After taking the certification, I'm 100% sure that it gave me an advantage over all the other event designers, because of all the expertise and the knowledge that I learned from this international point of view. And also my interviewers let me know that they really wanted someone with these fresh and international ideas, that I had the opportunity for learning in the certification."
