Redhat certification. If you can, go for it and be done with it. I'm a Debian guy, but I'm looking to get it just so that i can get past Catbert's HR drones when getting contracts/jobs.
Getting a job is part 70% experience, 20% people skills, and 10% certs... that's from a North American perspective. The Phil. environment might be the same. That small percentage might slightly tilt to your favor in getting a job. >From an HR drone perspective, if you have the same skill sets, but the other guy has the cert, they will give the job to that other guy. Some of the UNIX people hate the RH certs though. Can't blame them, the exam is ISP centric like apache/squid. In the enterprise market, you can work for several years without touching those. Why the grumpy attitude? a lot of them failed. :) -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On 9/25/07, gp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you for all your advice. > I am so hesitant to take any certification.
