Actual knowledge and skill sets the benchmark for payslips and recognition. How do you get recognised without with out being interviewed and selected?? simhasriram Sun, 04 Nov 2007 07:41:35 +0100 http://wi-figurus.com/content/view/427/#josc82 Certifications are not just about the money. Most certified IT folks take great pride in their vocation and mastering essential subject matter such as Wi-Fi technology is regarded as essential. In my own case, I blithely rendered advice on wireless issues in the course of routine consulting project with clients. After months of studying and eventually passing the CWNA & CWSP exams, I realized to my horror and embarrassment, many of my concepts and ideas were incorrect and misleading. No real harm was done, however, it was a very humbling experience. In my opinion, certifications are simply a baseline requirement for IT professionals to ply their specialty trade – just the same as doctors, lawyers & accountants. jonassono Sat, 24 Nov 2007 15:34:15 +0100
