Hi! I'm between jobs right now and need some advice. Are there any free certifications that can add value to my CV? I am a content writer who has working knowledge of SEO and digital marketing.

Suggestion: Consider the roles you ideally want and check on LinkedIn for the profiles of people with those jobs. Check out what certifications, skills, experience, etc., they have. You can even ping those people and ask which classes and such might help you. Why that approach: That can better prep you for opportunities that resonate with you, where you’re more likely to thrive in a sustainable way. And you can grow network in relevant spaces.

Thank you @plain-ability-19865, I'll check ahref.

Sure thing, @quiet-accountant-86066. Note: It’s generally better to ask people with jobs that are within reasonable reach of you in the short to midterm. Sometimes people think, oh, I should ask a CEO or other high-level person. Why that’s not optimal: If someone is a number of years or jobs ahead of you, conditions have often changed since they were at your career stage. Of course, that’s not an absolute, but that’s common enough, because workplaces and businesses keep evolving.

That is so true. I've begun to reach out managerial level people on linkedIn with a short explaination of why I'm adding them. Thank you!
