Not sure who's rating this down but I agree with it. A+ screams geeksquad. We look at A+ as people who have low expectations in life. It's a pretty poor way to look at it, but that's life.
That is a pretty short sighted practice. Just because someone earned an A+ certification at some point in their career doesn't mean they don't know anything. When I was working at my first job, I was doing anything and everything possible to find a way out. One thing on that list was obtaining an A+ certification. Sure, it didn't really help me as I went the development route, but I think it is pretty stupid to write someone off simply because they achieved something that you feel is worthless. Sure, if the only thing on someone's resume is the A+ cert, that is probably not a good sign. But don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
