We'll probably spend 95% of the time just talking about who they are,

I find there's a strong INVERSE correlation between the quantity of
certificates on an applicant's resume and their ability to do the job.
I still have to laugh about the guy who let me know via his resume
that he was certified in setting up Kentrox CSU/DSUs.
It's like all of these programming bootcamps that are cropping up these
days. I'd frankly be a lot more impressed by somebody who is green but
self-taught. That at least shows initiative.
