I have seen the same in the UK with painful results. Not that failure or even increased timescale/costs was ever mentioned by the (mis)management team.

Certainly in the UK the knuckle dragging morons that pass for HR and Recruiters take increasing note of OCP and rightly or wrongly the cert does make a candidate more marketable. I only hope the companies concerned have an experienced techy on the interview panel. Received on Tue Jul 16 2002 - 07:29:25 CDT
