Re:a MCSE's perspective (Score 1)

As far as my Unix job searching experience goes, I've never even once been asked for any certification. My current employee didnt even ask any kind of technical questions during the interview. I outlined the range of systems experience I'd had and my programming skills, and they called my references and that was that. Personally, I'd be iffy about a job if they asked for certification, and seriously doubt their employee evaluation skills. Of course, I feel for you. For the Unix related 'certifications' Ive been through there are never any exams. People usually go to those classes to learn and they will use the time until the know the subject, so there is no reason to have an exam. The average class would probably, on being presented with an exam, look at the teacher and go have a beer with the comment that they've been out of gradeschool for a few years now... Then again, I have long hair, so people usually assume Im a unix geek.
