That's ironic. I've had a few of 3k and 4k ccies I work with tell me they
were glad they didn't have to know 12.0 when they tested. There weren't
nearly as many features to deal with then. I think that headhunter would do
better to look at experience and certifications rather than cert #.
No disrespect to my fellow ccnps, but I found the lab SIGNIFICANTLY more
difficult to pass than the ccnp. Passed the ccnp on my first attempt at
each test. Took me three times to pass the lab. So, as a measure of
capabilities, I don't know how the headhunter can compare the two.
My biased 2c.
