Please log in for more thread options In which case, hit them with an anti-discrimination suit. Its illegal to employ people on the basis of age or sexual orientation. :) CCNA is an entry level cert. On its own, its not worth very much. You could move on to CCNP as one route, then look at CCDA/DP as a bit of a differentiator. However, no cert (even the covetted CCIE) is a sure-fire way to career joy. The only possible exception is that CISSP is going to be sort after for the next couple of years, but without any demostratable IT security experience, it may take you a bit longer to land that one.

That cert's a joke! I knew a guy who had no real security experience, studied a book for three months or so, and passed. That cert's little more than paper cert. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I agree.
In most case, Certifications don't actually test the skills of the candidate. So people who knew the just the questions and answers and memorize it should pass quite smoothly. In my opinion, I always test the skills and knowledge of everyone before I hire. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
