    Plenty of them, I saw a guy join the local desktop support team last year who maintained he had his full mcse and CCNA, yet didn't understand how to remote desktop on to a server to check if the backup jobs had completed in arcserve ...

    It happens, but in today's environment employer's don't always look for the smartest guy/girl to employ, it usually comes down to there ability to learn, listen and in general have cop on when doing the job.

    People like this get caught out in the end, I mean to say you learn off all the answers you get a job(some how) and then are asked to bring up an interface, set up something or troubleshoot and the person wont have a clue and will have to go learn, so better off studing and getting it right first time around.

    I've got an MCP, and to be honest, it gave me the chance for a better job, however realistically it's worth nothing unless I'm using it. However where I see this certification being a problem is where certain companies are Gold Partners etc afaik they need to have a certain number of 'certified' engineers. So rather than looking for someone with experience they look for a certified engineer first to hold onto the companies badge.

    Eh... Ted, he's asking about configuring Cisco and Sonicwall equipment in an MCSE forum. Where are any signs of the braindumping you're talking about?

    I mean, even if you were a complete idiot you'd figure something out somehow. He doesn't even know where to look.

    Well, making an educated guess based on the chances of working with Cisco / networking equipment after ECDL I would think not.

    Of course thats just my opinion.

    This sort of carry on has been taking place for years. I got caught out when I first started my own company 12 years ago. Hired a guy based on someone's recommendation and the fact he had just got his MCSE.

    Turned out the guy had never even seen the inside of a computer before. Live and learn. They all get caught out eventually.

    I am new administrator of a Network

    He must have education to have gotten the job, as he goes onto say
    its my first work experience

    You dont just walk into a network admin position.

    Anyway this guy isnt worth talking about anymore, he is a member of a brain dump forum, says it all.

    Not true. You evidently haven't had the misfortune of dealing with government IT departments!
