that they are and experience doesn't seem to count either. i was refused
interviews for a number of jobs because i have neither a degree or an OCP.
and while interviewed for others, they hired someone with a degree [in one
case a degree in history] and no experience. i even had one place come back
to me a couple of months after not hiring me, asking if i would work for
them as a contractor to clean up the mess the person they did hire made. i
had just taken this contract at the time so i graciously refused.;-)
