That's probably something you'd put in your profile based on what Heather is saying then. Pretty sure there's Adobe certifications out there. Fairly sure

do recruiters ever look at personal portfolio websites?

when and how do they decide that a candidate is interesting enough to warrant going through their website?

Dinara 3:38 PM
Is it important to be socially active like making posts or comments?
