For example, I don't believe google will even look at you if you don't have anything in the Linux department. MS wouldn't look at people without an MCSE minimum. Cisco won't want people who don't have a CCNA....etc. The horrifying reality in our world today is that certs are actually starting to carry some weight. Sure, we all know many things...but do we have a way to prove that when facing 200 other people who know many things?
