I just ran across this one in Fortune Small Business. Below is an excerpt.
The journalist (Larry Seltzer) is attempting to give tips on how to hire
technical consultants to do work for your small business. He's talking about
how certifications aren't as important as one might think:
"When looking for qualified help, don't read too much into a consultant's
alphabet soup of certifications. They don't signify ability, just as my
political science degree doesn't make me your next President. Terms like CCIE
(Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) indicate only successful completion of
the program and minimal competence in the product."
I wish I knew this guy's email address. Anyway, I thought the group might
get
a kick out of it. Here's the link in case you want to read the whole thing:
