I keep hearing from friends who hire people that certs can get you an
interview and experience can get you the job.  What I'm hoping is that
certs can also keep you around during a layoff because in my experience
the decisions on who to lay off are made by suits and not by people who
have any real measurement of the skills.  Either way, the cert should
help me out.  :)
