In my opinion, they signal different things to different hiring entities.
To a big corp, it signals that you play by the rules, and that a 3rd party has vouched for you.
To a small company, it signals that you don't learn by yourself, and expect things spoonfed.
I'm not saying either is wrong, but they are different mindsets, large companies have more need to order than small companies.
- timwiseman 17y agoTo a small company, it signals that you don't learn by yourself, and expect things spoonfed. I don't think they say that at all. Now, I do get that impression about some people that list tons of training classes on their resume (especially the ones that list training classes without an accompanying certification). Personally, I hold an MCBDA, MCITP, and A+ certifications. I pepared for the MCDBA and MCITP on my own through a combination of books, websites, and hands on toying with the systems. I prepared for the A+ in a peer group. I have had a mentor that taught me a tremendous amount, but I never took formal classes for any of it, or expected any of it to be spoonfed.
