Some of the dumbest people I have worked with in this industry have had 10 certifications, took every class they could find, went to every training seminar, can recite API's by heart....yet are the worst thinkers and programmers.<BR/><BR/>So I guess the lesson is, don't read too much into resume's as you might be shocked at what you find. Someone with a seemingly great resume could very well turn out to be useless, and someone with a degree in History from UPenn might be the best programmer you ever hire. <BR/><BR/>It might be hard to believe, but I have seen and experienced this with my own eyes. So usually I read right over certifications when I am reading a resume. It means someone memorized some answers and took a test. It doesn't tell me how they solve problems.<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568820074035926669noreply@blogger.com
