You are right. It is a preliminary and is not a
certification. My guess is the purpose is to either confuse people into
believe they are a CCIE or try to get the most "credibility" that you can
get by without outright lying. (at least they are not saying they ARE
ccies).
Depends on the "clue" level of the hiring manager. Most people do
not know how Cisco's Certification structure goes, and may very well
believe the CCIE Written is a legitimate certification. This is going to
wildly vary depending on the location and intelligence of the hiring
managers across the world.
Is it normal practice to try to overextend what you know, of
course. Is it a practice I condone or do myself? No.
However, I never did feel people who carassed routers and called
TAC for every single trivial problem for 5 years have "5 years of
experience in the networking field." Do people still do it? Yes. Will
they still be doing it even after I have turned into worm food. Most
likely yes. It will be a different context, but people will be
overextending what they claim to know and their abilities all the time.
