I wonder if that's because of the relative "newness" of the various certs or
because they're not being publicised by a large monolithic company or
because not enough managers/HR departments know what Linux is or if Unix
people in general rely on proven experience more than classes & exams or...

...I _have_ heard of people
not getting jobs at least partly based on the fact that they were
MCSEs.

They were turned down because they did have a certification?  Must have been
a real pro-Linux manager ;-)

If the panel is composed of BOFHs only, they'll want you to show competency rather than the ability to get certified. (...) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I have never heard of people getting jobs, getting rejected for jobs, or getting a higher salary based on RH certs. I _have_ heard of people not getting jobs at least partly based on the fact that they were MCSEs. Again, take that as you will. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
