Hi Mike;
I find your comment very interesting, most positions state how
many years of experience before applying. The only exceptions
that I have seen with certification positions, is in the programing field.
It's not the certification being a problem - it's the resources for
people to obtain experience.
My thoughts are that there needs to be more labs for people to work in when
studying for their certification that are affordable or that it can be obtain.
People need to be involved with study groups and they should do volunteer
work or try working as a contractor.
This problem became obvious when Cisco & Microsoft started programs in
San Jose for the welfare people to start becoming certified. Why did they do
that!!!!
What amazes me is how these people, that you are seeing, have passed the test????
my 03 cents worth.
respectfully,
adele
