Let's all agree, certification has its flaws but it is a thing for the
resume scanners to pick up on. Most personnel are clueless as to CISSP,
MCSE, etc but the certification process can serve as a screen to get your
foot in the door. The ultimate manager should know enough to interview the
candidate properly. Still I wish there were a firewall for paper MCSEs :-).
Anyway, want the interview?, get the letters after your name.

Interesting question, but if the answer is "not", what alternatives
are
there? Remember that these alternatives have to be time and cost
effective
and recognizable by a recruiter who is NOT a subject-matter expert
in the
area of IS security.
So what are the alternatives?
