Which IT Certifications for Specific IT Jobs?

outlander78 asks: "There have been several questions posted recently (Landing a job, College or Career? to list a few) discussing education and job searching. I have just completed a BSc Computer Science, and have 2 years of co-op experience. This is apparently not enough, as I have yet to get a single interview, despite many carefully written letters and resume submissions to job postings. I read here that a degree with certifications was a good combination, so now I need to know - which certifications are best for job seekers? Whether I work as programmer, sys admin or something else isn't an issue, since I need any job at this point, and enjoy most computer-related jobs - please, suggest whatever certifications you are hiring for or were hired because of."

Oh, wait, this wasn't one of the damn polls...

Certs CAN help

Certs CAN and DO help. They leave your breath smelling minty fresh... Of course you can try brushing or mouthwash, but nothing is going to be a convienent as Certs.

Of course you also asked which Certs.. I prefer to hire people who use Wintergreen (Artificially Flavored) and I would probably not hire someone using Cinnamon (Artificially Flavored). The other two Peppermint or Spearamint are a toss up, but if they make your breath better, go for it! What do you have to loose?

Be Certain with Certs !
