Why Computer Certifications Really Don't Matter |
 |
|
I am currently a Network Administrator that supports about
100 Servers and 2000 Clients that has 8 years experience in
Network Engineering. This article explains why certifications
really dont matter.When I was in school all that my classmates
talked about was how you need this certification and that
certification. Now that I am responsible for interviewing
technicians I learned that they really dont matter.
How many times did your Interviewer ask you to see your actual
certification. NEVER or almost NEVER. As long as you know
the material you can say you have any certification you want.
Since 95% of employers will never really check does it make
it right to lie about what certifications you really have.
I would have to say YES and NO. It is not right to lie about
what certifications you really have but on the other hand
most companies have a non technical person interview you so
all he wants to hear is what are you CERTIFIED in.
My suggestion would be to just know the information that
the job is for and now about saying you have all the certs.
I still personally go and get all the certifications but that
is because I am required to show proof at my current position.
