    Funny story. Once, at a job interview, I was actually asked if I was "A+ Certified"

    My response was, "No, but I don't really think that matters."
    They asked immediately (and in a snippy tone of voice), "Why not?"
    I shrugged and said, "I used to teach the course."

    If anyone asks for A+ for anything other than a simple benchtech position, they obviously have no idea what they need.
