Unfortunately the MBA-bot thinking has even made it here to slashdot.
Its pervasive throughout the entire system at this point as the Post Doc person above points out he can find an unlimited number of Quant Finance jobs, but any real ones are elusive.
If he made a fake resume', with and Indian name, the phone would ring non-stop.
Try it sometime, it makes for a barrel of monkey of laughs.
Do the certs self study at home, and do a few of the ones you can afford.
If you have to pawn some of your less used gadgets to make a better job habit you can also get said gadget back later and perhaps an newer and better version of it.
If you have a degree thou you may not need the certs if you have a portfolio of proven work that shows your ability.
Consider making a career website that you can link to in your resume, and have a youtube video showing what you know and what you can do.
Most of the HR world doesn't read resume's anymore its done by the equivalent of web spiders.
I can't even tell you how many job contacts I have had that obviously did not even bother to read my resume', repeat offenders I tell them to stop contacting me if they will not even take the time to read my damn resume'.
Like most things, telling the truth would not let them lower the prevailing wages.
So they do what they do best and lie and lie some more.
As seen in the film "The Corporation" it often acts like a sociopath/psychopath, and one of those traits is lying alot, much like politicians, lawyers, and bank$ters.
This is a race to the bottom, like it has been for other industries.
Fair odds you are one of the ppl who are making alot of money off the situation so you defend it.
You don't care what it does to the nation as a whole if the entire 3rd world moves here to displace all the citizens who pay taxes to get fake politicians who do no represent them, but are puppets to plutocrats.
MOD parent up, they want to save the big money for stockholders dividends, and for fat salaries for the meeting jockeys who push paper around a conference table.
I have seen empty suit idiots right experience requirements for technology that has not been in use for the amount of experience they want, ie. wanting 5 years of.NET when it had only been in use in the public arena for 3 years.
Its idiotic, and thus why I say some of the suits are empty suits, and don't even bother to research the requirements they make.
I'd be more inclined to think the MBA managers are idiots then the ppl who passed with an engineering degree.
There may be some STEM degree folks who paid ppl to take their tests, etc etc, and some may be functionally non performing, but I am sure that is in the minority based off the ppl I have met.
Some STEM degrees are more like a 5 year degree now, and your insulting their accomplishment shows that you likely have an inferiority complex and feel better by insulting others.
H1-B is just the tip of the iceberg, there are 100+ immigrant Visas for flooding the US labor market. Many are used under false pretense to get ppl here, then they switch to a different type later, or just have a kid once they are here.
Until they can get the average pay as low as the plutocrats want it lying will be ONE of the tools they use to get the pay lowered for all jobs.
Allowing millions of illegal immigrants in is another way, and the 100+ different types of immigrant Visa is another, the H1-B gets a lot of coverage, but the L1 has NO LIMIT...
Slashdot Mirror
Correct the visa worker deal with 100+ immigrant visas on the books is their main tool.
L1 Visa has NO LIMIT....

Ah unity thru insults, nothing like divide and rule to keep the sheep in line.

I am right there with you...welcome to "our" world...
Globalist gluttony, a new home of tyranny...
If you can take away their citizen status, make them a Visa worker then
they can pledge allegiance to IngSoc.

"inteligent" eh ??? perhaps you meant intelligent there genius.
I think you also may be mistaking apathy for incompetence.
When ppl are depressed and resigned to their fate the two can
look quite a bit alike.

Advocating for the race to the bottom eh ?
Well its on its way and enjoy the upheaval that is coming with it.
What we are feeling now is just the ripples on the water.
100+ different types of immigrant Visa ought to do the trick eh ?

Again, what is the salary they are offering for civil engineers.
If you are offering a wage that is less then the manager at Taco Bell
then not too many are likely to get excited about it.
Great another racist who thinks a spanish speaker can't learn a programming language.

We are shedding jobs to the 100+ immigrant Visa workers, its not being filled by citizens.

$16,000 a year is minimum wage here, you can't even afford to live on the
east or west coast at that wage.
If they drive all wages to that level we will become a giant warsaw ghetto
like just prior to WW2, or maybe that is the idea after all...
Mod parent up, they see all the "sled dogs" as a replaceable commodity and value the salesmen
and marketing folks more than they do the engineers.
As long as the money gamblers run the world its going to start looking more and more like a Casino.
The Visa worker likely was going to be working over 50 hrs a week for salary,
and the salary was likely pretty low end.
That is the future for the world by the globalist plutocrats.
MOD parent up, they want to save the big money for stockholders dividends,

Alot of the MBAs think there best investment are in accounting and marketing folks.
Even while I worked at Cisco Systems the marketing ppl were paid more then some of
out better engineers, which made no sense to me.
With 100+ immigrant class of Visas H1-B is a drop in the bucket.

True and with vertical hydroponics you can use 10x less water, and 10 times less space.
Supposedly they now have an LED that will grow plants as well...
Thou it would appear that not all LED plant lights are created equal....
