Subject: Re: Re[2]: another OCP question -- help me guys
A small but growing number of employers want certification. Considering the job market, I recommend anyone who is not at Rachel's, etc.. level to get certified as both a developer and a DBA. I'm doing Java also, just to have it. The java test is a total joke. You only need to get 52% right and its just one test, but people want it. You really don't even need to know java. Just object-oriented programming and memorize a bunch of fairly useless information.
Getting a good salary is more about your resume and how well you speak than it is about your skill set. I've had alot of technical interviews and they all seem to ask the same easy questions. They are interested in: years of experience, degree, where your degree is from, certification, and in some cases where you worked before. There is some bias in the DC area for 'top 5' consulting. I think that means Booz Allen, and Ernst and Young. Not sure who the other 3 happen to be.
People don't seem to be all that interested in whether you can actually do the job. They just assume your better than someone else if you have a nicer resume.
