Folks,
It's just a piece of paper in my opinion. A person either knows their
stuff or they don't. Less than 5min on a phone screen and I will know if
they "bought" their certification(s) or earned them. Sadly, I've spoken to
far too many who give some validation to Jared's comment. I'm wondering how
many proctors have been paid off or if people are buying fake id's for
smart people and paying them to sit for the tests posing as them.
