Re: [TCLUG:16577] A+ Certification

[Chris McKinley <lamfada@lugh.net>]

If you are going after a job where there are more than a couple applicants,
hiring managers are apt to toss out resumes that do not include some kind
of certification, even though they know them to be 90% a joke.

Also, some places will toss MCS*, especially for UNIX positions.
