On my resume, I have listed all my exams and certifications. For example:
Objectives:
I want a job that pays a million a year, where I can work at home.
bla.bla.bla.
Certifications:
CCNA 2.0 Cisco Certified Network Associate May 2000
MCSE 4.0 Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer March 1999
MCP+I 4.0 Microsoft Certified Professional + Internet
March 1999
MCP 4.0 Microsoft Certified Professional July 1998
Exams:
BCMSN Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks January 2001
BCRAN Building Cisco Remote Access Networks August 2000
CCNA 2.0 Cisco Certified Network Associate May 2000
bla.bla.bla.
When I was interviewing for the job I currently hold, I know that was one of
the reasons why my boss liked me, because he could see that I kept educating
my self, so I could be more or less up to date with technology.
So put every exam and certification on the resume, because maybe the
recruiter who's looking at it and searching for one with a minimum CCNA,
will ignore your CCNP title.
Just my $.02

This is a good idea. You have to remember that the majority of people that
see your resume are non-technical people that are just matching acronymns
without any idea what they are. I had one recuiter look at my resume and
email back, "but do you have any experience with ISP". I explained what an
ISP was and that all the jobs on my resume were service providers. *sigh*
