The CCIE qualification exam on its own has very limited jobseeking value.
However it can, if used wisely be used to demonstrate a continuing
dedication to personal development.
ie
If you list try to list "CCIE (Written)" on your resume/CV then you will
most likely be filed in the discard pile by many hiring managers.
If instead you seperately state that you are actively working towards CCIE
and give a realistic expected completion date it may get your foot in the
door for more active consideration with some hirers.

It qualifies you to take the lab exam, that is its purpose. It is almost
pointless to take it if that isnt what you intended.

Only if you want to show yourself as someone who doesnt follow things
through. If there is a good reason for not completing the lab then you
could bring up the qualification exam in an interview, but I certainly
wouldnt recommend putting it on your resume.
