I can't really speak for CCIEs because I'm not one, but like many of us on this list I've gotten quite a few certifications. I believe very strongly in industry certifications as benchmarks, however I don't list any of my certifications on business cards, signature lines, etc anymore. I don't like to be categorized into one thing or another. It also seems a bit pretentious and maybe a bit insecure. I think everyone should be treated the same regardless of certification and their statements should be judged on their own merit and not weighted by a certification. But that's just my $0.02.
I think displaying some certifications could actually have a negative effect as well. For example, I have a redhat certification. In a room full of microsoft people that might work to discredit me. The same might go for cisco certifications in a room full of whoever else makes Datacom equipment. ------------------- Mike Bernico [EMAIL PROTECTED] Illinois Century Network http://www.illinois.net (217) 557-6555 > -----Original Message----- > From: MADMAN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 8:58 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: CCIE number [7:50203] > > > FWIW I know off hand about 5 CCIE's that don't include their cert in > their sig file.
