Should I take OCP Java? What preparation materials can you read?

Question

Java

I want to retrain as a Java developer.
I already have Java experience, but it is clearly not enough to pass an interview in a decent company.
Do they look for OCP Java SE on a resume when looking for candidates? Does this exam make sense when looking for a Java EE or Java Android job?
What relevant materials should be read? As I understand it, the current test is 1Z0-804?

Answer 1

Hexlet has a Java SE course, even two versions. There were a lot of articles on habré:

TL;DR; It's worth going if you want. The main thing is to streamline knowledge. I won’t say anything about development for Android, but for a Java EE developer, knowledge of SE is a must have. In fact, they look at the certificate, but only if the choice is between two candidates.

Answer 2

Certificates are not important to anyone now, the main thing is what is in the head.
You can get it "for yourself" if you like. :)
