If you want to convey your skills, a cert or a brainbench is probably the way to go. Certs aren't perfect, but they will tell you how much of a language you know.
If you want something more holistic, its probably best to contribute to a mature existing open source project. This allows you to say: 1. My code is useful 2. Others have seen my code and found it acceptable to include with theirs 3. I have demonstrated something useful with X aspects of a language Justin On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Lester Leong <lester.ble...@gmail.com>wrote: > Not sure, but there was a time when I wanted to improve 3 languages at > once for an interview and came up with a scheme to test myself.
