This is why I don't buy into certifications. Anyone can study for a test, and get the answers right. Thankfully my boss sees it the same way. My company has each applicant take a logic test (11 questions), and if you don't pass with a 9 or better you don't get hired. Period. It doesn't matter how much schooling you've had or which alphabet soup certifications you've got. My company is interested in smart people that get results. Not folks who can take a test.
