CSA certification benefits

What are the possibilities of a CSA associate certification landing me a sys admin position at ServiceNow? I have quite a bit of experience as a system engineer and 6 years experience as a ServiceNow end user

This is just personal feedback, but nowadays CSA is just a default requirement for almost any ServiceNow position, so I would say having it is pretty standard. Now for you question, if it will get you a position, I would say not directly.

I think more and more companies are looking for experience on top of certifications. I think it is easier for someone to get a position by having experience and not the CSA than the reverse. But either way, if you want to possibly go for the SN path, I would say for sure to go for it. Having the certification won't hurt and it will for sure increase your possibility of landing an admin position.

Hi @cundiff1030 

As a ServiceNow Developer, I can say that obtaining a CSA (Certified System Administrator) certification significantly enhances your chances of landing a sys admin position at ServiceNow. Here’s why:

1. Certification Credibility

• The CSA certification validates your understanding of the ServiceNow platform and its core functionalities. It’s often a prerequisite for sys admin roles, demonstrating your ability to manage and configure the system effectively.

2. Relevant Skill Set

• A sys admin role requires knowledge of ServiceNow administration, scripting, and ITSM processes. The CSA certification covers these areas, aligning well with the skills needed for the job.

3. Experience Advantage

• Your experience as a system engineer and ServiceNow end user gives you practical insights into system operations and user needs, which is invaluable in a sys admin role. This combination of certification and hands-on experience is highly attractive to employers.

4. Growing Demand

• The demand for ServiceNow professionals continues to grow, and many organizations seek certified candidates for sys admin positions. With your background and certification, you will be well-positioned in the job market.

5. Networking Opportunities

• Engaging with the ServiceNow community can provide job leads and insights. Participate in forums, user groups, and webinars to connect with industry professionals.
