So basically certs are nice but skill is obviously better. I can understand that they dont want "paper tigers", they look good on paper but look stupid on front of a machine. I wouldnt even go for an interview if I felt my skills werent up to par because then I'm wasting both of our time.


I hear from people that agencies(employment) can help you get your foot in the door because I know a few of them actually test you when you come in to see what your skill set is. Has anyone tried to get a job through a placement firm?
