Best SkillBridge Certification for Breaking Into Tech with ServiceNow?

[Napa]

I'm going to start a SkillBridge program in December with ServiceNow and am eager to get my foot in the door in the tech industry. I want to make the most of this opportunity by earning the most valuable certification(s) that will help me stand out to employers and build a strong foundation in ServiceNow. I do not have IT experience. I have read Comptia Net+ but never tested so I brain dumped most of the information.

Any recommendations on which certificate to go for first? After the SkillBridge program I will hopefully get hired by a company but if not I will just go to school for IT.

The first courses that you can focus on are Welcome to ServiceNow, ServiceNow Administration on Fundamentals, ServiceNow Administration Implementation on Demand and ServiceNow CMDB Courses. These courses will give you the basic knowledge on what ServiceNow as tool is and will help you get familiarize with the tool. These courses specially the ServiceNow Administration courses will help you with the ServiceNow Certified System Administrator certification. This should be more than enough if you are targeting the Skill Bridge program. 

Beyond, ServiceNow CSA you can focus on the ServiceNow Certified Application Developer certification and its relevant courses if you want to explore on the Development side of the tool.  If you do not see yourself as a Developer then you can move on to the Implementation modules preferably start with ServiceNow ITSM and any other modules that interest you. There are a multitude of Implementation modules in ServiceNow and basically depend on your job/business function once you get into more progressive career. All the best!
