I guess you can't figure it so you better hire a consultant. :) Test question: What is appropriate way to bring take your OnLine system offline: a) kill -9 b) ipcrm c) onmode -ky d) hell if I know >As a general rule, <licensing> is reserved for occupations where the >health and safety of other individuals may be compromised by the person >perfoming the service for which they have a license. I wonder why many accounting professionals become CPAs? What a waste of time. I'm sure its too difficult and costs way to much. There's really no career or business advantage at all. >As a manager I would stay in touch with who and WHAT I'm hiring as well. >If I didn't have enough knowledge about who I was hiring, I could always call >a university, or neighboring professional, or the vendor, for advice on what >is a good candidate for the job. > It's SKILL, not certification that makes you worth something, employee or >consultant. Yes its nice to know what's going on. Its amazing how so few people know who they are hiring until its costs them a few bucks. Certification is just another tool to *evaluate* skills.
