I notice certs like CISSP when hiring. It says the person has a basic understanding of all IS security areas. Nothing more. If someone can't pass the CISSP then I have to wonder why.

Anyone who believes that a credential automatically conveys some magical knowledge that you didn't have before is just as overly-simplistic as someone who disparages all credentials equally.
