Are the work experiences as a network system engineer help for software developer career? I know experiences on the resume is really important. Does the freelancer experience help? (It's also hard to get start as a freelancer!) Here is another stupid like question: which one is better? systems engineer or software developer? I will be appreciate for your advice and opinions!
What work do you do as a systems engineer ?

Welcome to CodeRanch!
IMHO, certification(s) definitely matter for a new graduate (that is looking for the first job). Yes, certification doesn't at all mean that you know everything about the subject, but from prospective employer's perspective, it gives a message that the candidate is ready to learn new things on his/her own, and is capable of passing an exam for the same.
I hope this helps.
All the Best!
