hi guys I'm Phil and welcome to the
channel that puts s into SPSS today's
question comes from shabam
he'd like to know is it necessary to
have an SPSS certification in case we
want to apply for jobs that require spss
knowledge safer job opening says SPSS is
preferred or not mandatory if I learn it

that job well let's face it guys we're
in a data rich world now so companies
and organizations they're looking to
hire more and more people who can make
sense of data this job sounds like an
entry-level position so soft skill set
is more likely to be important so if
companies look looking for your can
build to communicate team working skills
presentation skills SPSS though
advantageous is not necessary as it says
in his question but statistics is pretty
important so if you're at college yeah

learned some other package you can
easily then pick up SPSS the important
thing is to know some kind of basic
modeling skills because we've spss the
company's likely to train you because
it's an entry-level position if you're
going for an interview then it's the
Duce that's called modeling I brush a
bit on your statistics and any kind of
projects you've done a college using
statistics if you're going for a senior
level then they're looking for evidence
that you've got experience using SPSS
SPSS was built I think originally for
Social Research but it's now tending
towards the market for people in
marketing and in the business world so

business degree you're gonna probably
see SPSS taught on the course somewhere
