People cheat in Pakistan. People cheat in Canada. People cheat in the
United States. Should Cisco deny testing these countries too? No. Will
Cisco be able to stop people from cheating? Not likely.
Certifications are a way to get your foot in the door. If an employer isn't
smart enough to ask technical questions during an interview to weed out the
people that haven't learned what they need to get the job done, then they
deserve what they hire. What if a manager doesn't have the technical skills
to assess someone's ability? Hire a short-term consultant from a reputable
consulting company to develop questions and answers, or have that individual
sit in during the interview process. The ball is in the hiring company's
court.
