Certified
Friend of mine is starting up a new Certification, so I'm probably going to help him.
I'm not that big a believer in them myself but then I've never really gone after pure coding types of jobs.
I always liked the hard stuff myself. To me the 'soft stuff' is the hard part. The soft stuff being the individual people, the vision, the team, building consensus and generally building solutions when you are working on a tough problem that's kicked a few dozen peoples butts. Too bad they don't have a certification for that!
Anyway good link from Tom rebutting my off-hand comment that I don't really find certifications all that useful. Course I was talking about in my work, not in his (he's an administrator/engineer type).
Interesting information. I guess I'll have to be getting smart on this market in the next few weeks.
