I had to get the CEH when I was hired on by a security consulting firm back in Northern Virginia. I now do not include this cert on my CV for (perhaps irrational) fear that someone in some HR department may think "Oh, no! This guys is a hacker!" Sadly, the word has a negative connotation, because the word "cracker" or "bad actor" never bubbled up past the IT security world. I also do not include my military service dates, as they reliably peg my age. Most men join at 17 or 18, so they would immediately know my age. I'm debating whether to include any certifications at all, just include my degree.
