The same kind of jobs that you can get without ITIL Certification
Seriously.
ITIL Certification is not a guarentee of getting a job, a pay raise or a new role.
ITIL Foundation certificiation is the equivilent of knowing your Math concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Nothing more.
The Foundation is a very broad and very shallow overview of what ITIL is (and not) and hows areas of IT Service Management can be done.
You can get a role in IT Service Management with the ITIL Certification
You can get a role in Starbucks as a Barista serving coffee with the ITIL Certification.
You can get a role as a bus driver.
If you are in IT and in a IT Service Management related role, the ITIL Certification may or may not help you but it could not hurt _________________ John Hardesty
