S o, I took the Hootsuite social media certification exam...and I'm happy to announce I passed with flying colors! I can now say I am "social media certified," and it honestly feels wonderful.  I thought the exam would be harder than it was, but the program was so thorough with its lessons and videos and step-by-step quizzes I didn't think it was difficult to understand and absorb the material being presented. Despite the program’s ease of use, I was still thrilled to see my passing score at the end of the exam. Yay! Now, I can go out into the world and feel more confident about my ability to not only use social media, but also provide social media services to potential employers while augmenting my own skills for my current position.
