Hullo
I am having a hard time finding a SAS Role ,does anyone have any advice i could use. I have studied BASE SAS, SAS/STAT, SAS/SQL and SAS/MAcros, I have the Base SAS certification and preparing for the Advanced. my background is SQL, MYSQL and Oracle.
IMO the problem at this point isn't certification. It's either work experience or lack thereof, lack of opportunities in your geographic area, or a bad resume. Look for mentorship opportunities in your area that can help deal with these issues. They may say more certification will help, but certification is a nice to have, not mandatory when hiring. I can train people to code. It's harder to train someone to write clearly, ask clear questions, communicate well and/or have interpersonal skills.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
Congrats on your certification!
