Should I add it to my profile?

Question

Freelance

I worked for almost a year in Web Studio. Decided to go freelance. In my last job, I did a lot of work on the Backend from scratch. On each of them in the footer there is a link to the website of the studio "The site is developed by OOO Tam Ta Tam". I want to know if it is worth adding them to your portfolio? more interested in the reaction of a potential customer, will he think that I am a charlotte with no experience who appropriated not my work.
Certificates:
Recently I saw an android application on the play market called: "Learn JavaScript", "Learn Python3", "Learn PHP", etc. Since I am a student myself, I do not have any certificates. After completing a certain course, you will receive a certificate that you have completed this course. I think it's okay if I add it to my profile somewhere on upwork. But on the account in the resume for finding work in the office, I think that this is not professional, but still your opinion. Thanks!!!

Answer 1

So explain what and how, of course, ideally, it’s better to have “purely your own” projects, since the fewer people work, the greater the professionalism of each, or so that you are at least a Senior there, but not everything is so difficult with all the tasks, yes And such specialists take more money.

Answer 2

Just a year in the office and already freelancing? But is there enough experience to do it qualitatively?)
No one forbids indicating work experience in the profile along with the name of the organization and the period of work. If desired, anyone can go to the office's website and see what has been done during this time, ask about your participation, etc. In addition, you can ask permission to put those works separately in your personal portfolio, indicating what exactly you did. The office may well allow it, it's worth a try.
In turn, a potential customer can check with the office whether you really worked there and ask for recommendations. If he left without negative, then the former management is never against the recommendations.
Further, any certificate from the Internet from an unaccredited source is just a piece of paper that you can show off in front of girls or just wipe yourself off. Education at a university, courses from a university or a private accredited school - this has weight. And the coolness of such a diploma / certificate is directly proportional to the coolness of the educational institution. Therefore, it is worth taking courses (but not anyhow), but indicate this only as additional. information, and not as the main achievements (and, moreover, do not chase the number of such records).
There is no point in lying in a resume, they always start from the bottom and this is normal. There is no experience or very little of it - so write, at first applying only for initial positions. And already with his work to prove that he deserved a promotion. It will not work to deserve it - it will be so everywhere.
If you indicate in your resume what you don’t know how, just for the sake of pathos, then in work you can crap yourself and fly out with a bang, closing your way to other offices in the city. Reputation is such a thing.
I would recommend working in the office for another year or two, and leaving freelancing to your free time. And there, based on the results of the work, evaluate your strengths again. It’s just that specialists who worked for a long time in one company look cooler, and not those who change jobs once a year. First you need to work on authority, and only then it will work for you .
