Perhaps that's one reaosn you're not a hiring manager... :)

All certification exams test a specific knowledge set. If that set doesn't fit with the organization doing the interview, the exams are irrelevant. I don't know any hiring manager that bases a hiring decision on certifications, of any kind. After all, I don't hire certifications, I hire people.
