“When I took the CGBP exam I was a senior in college so knowing I was going out into the job market was scary. Pursuing the credential was a proactive action I could take that would help differentiate myself from other graduates. Having the CGBP credential listed on my resume has helped me in job interviews – it puts me above others applying for the job. It proves my competency in international business and trade. I was routinely asked about the CGBP in the job interviews that I had. People are impressed knowing that I proved my skills by taking the exam and becoming certified over others that have not gone to that extent.”
