:) as what the article has mentioned, certifications are irrelevant :). And re-quoting the article, according to the survey:
Vendors offer such an enormous range of certifications,
many of them easy to achieve, that the value of the certification process
has been watered down. Likewise, certifications do not prove real-world
skill.
Sadly, specially in the Philippines, it's always about what "paper" you are holding... and not what you know of the job in question. Added to that also is from what school you came from. Although we have to admit, a lot of expensive, ivy-leaguish schools do produce fitting candidates, but oftentimes, those from lesser-known institutions produce qualified candidates too. But a lot of companies rarely see that fact. They start with "Where did you graduate?". Then when the candidate did not come from their preferred academe, they shrug the applicant off :)... i should know.. I'm a victim of this discrimination too :)).
