Never comes up in interviews or any conversation at all from my experience.

But last night I had a Pakistani taxi driver who had just got his masters in IT.

I just want to test the waters here; are the ASC relevant? Are they doing a good job? Does anyone ask for ACS accreditation during interviews? I am in Melbourne for work at the moment. Maybe it is a regional thing? -- Peter Griffith CP PH: 0408 832 891
