I doubt that any employer would hire someone based solely on the merits of
this cert. BUT, given the choice of two people with equal skills, the cert
might help tip the scales in your favor.

I'm getting ready to take the cert and let me tell you...it's tougher than
you might think. I'm fairly advanced and I can usually only score in the
high 70s (of 100).

I was just having a read of someones ColdFusion certification "developer
study guide", and the following made me laugh.

It states that anyone can claim to be a ColdFusion expert and it is hard
to to recognise legitimate expertise, and that the certification allows
you to identify the real experts, blah blah blah.
Certified ColdFusion Developer means that you can command the respect and
recognition that goes along with being one of the best at what you do.
blah blah blah, it will help you stick out from the crowd.

LOL, what a crock, this is so contradictory.
Using this study guide ANYONE can pass the exam, even the worst developer
in the world, in fact there is a guy in my office here who did not know
any Codlfusion at all, and passed the exam with an ADVANCED certification
simply by reading the study guide.

I wonder, do any employers actually give any consideration to people with
one of these certifications? As they really arn't worth the paper they are
printed on these days.
