I am surprised you recommend getting certifications - I have never seen anywhere where those are held to be of any sort of value, especially if you have a computer science degree (I've been working as a programmer for 9 years at 4 different companies - I've been through my share of interviews).
Might be an Indian thing?
- rnicholson 16y agoA few recruiters and HR departments, that I've seen, do value technical certifications. Depends on the job. Personally, I'm not a firm believer in valuing technical certifications as worthless. Overly valued by some, sure, but not worthless.
- kapilkaisare 16y agoRecruiters and HR departments value tech certifications because it means they don't have to test the technical knowledge of the candidate themselves. This saves time and acts as a 'useful' filter when they are processing resumes en masse. To clarify, you wouldn't expect to see this followed at a company where its programmers are first class citizens; these guys tend to be real thorough.
