Certifications have negative worth (Score 2, Interesting)

I do a fair bit of IT hiring. Listing certifications on your resume is, in my eyes, a ticket for a one-way trip to the circular file, unless you've got other stuff on your resume to mitigate your certifications. Especially if you're foolish enough to list A+ or other bogus certifications. So, I guess, actually, certifications are valueable, because they allow me as an employer to quickly sort the poseurs out of the pool.
