Dear Douglas, Please can you give us a little more information. For example are you using Infocom's WiMax Service? or SpeedMax Service? Or something else entirely? Are you able to connect the computer with SUSE11 to other systems?

Would you hire someone with no degree but sufficient experience and probably some certifications, over someone who has a BCS or BTEC?

As an employer, there are many challenges when it comes to IT and they get worse if you are not an IT person, so if some one has a certification with a reputation that means the person has certain knowledge and follows some kind of standards that all people with similar or the same certification follow. You will realize that many of us jump into IT from very different professions, I for instance trained in accounts decided to sell IT from the moment I finished college, what happens now is that I have a very high level of understanding in the use of IT but can only say this through my experience which I claim to have, imagine I had a reputable certification to back this up! I therefore believe certification and experience are complementary and the Interview will then crown it all, especially when it is practical and some IT people are part of the panel.
