Cute, but here's the bottom line. Some certifications show you really do have a clue. Some don't. But, all of them open HR doors, which would be otherwise close

...and, in case of IT, it's a great example how some doors are best left unopened.

  Why? You can always reject a job offer, but you can't materialize one out of thin air when there is none.

    On occasion I've worked with people who honestly value certifications more than actual competence and if I'm considering working with them this is something that I'd like to know about ahead of time. The cost of finding this out later can be quite high.

    ...I'd reject any job offer in IT requiring certification anyway, and while I like spite as much as the next gal, I don't think it's worth as much as a certification costs.
