Even my recent experience says no here. I had a CCIE (written..!) in for
an interview and, well, I am not sure how he managed to get CCIE written
but he sure as hell didn't know much.
There are some useful qualifications for ISP potential employees that
the LINX provide in conjunction with some training companies, these are
good for NOC or junior engineers but at the end of the routing table
there's no substitute for getting people who have had a few years to
screw up other people's networks and learn what not to do..
