Andrew,
I would suggest that you don't take any notice of this so-called recruiter who
clearly doesn't understand what it takes to become CCIE. I am inclined to belie
ve that it the likes of him that give companies this very wrong impression of t
he quality of CCIE - even a one day old CCIE is someone to be reckoned with. A
nyone who thinks otherwise is either ignorant or mis-informed: usually ignorant
of the facts. He mentions experience; hands-on ability is precisely what is te
sted on the lab and this is done in the most complex and thorough manner.
The popularity of the certification has grown, the effectiveness of the testing
approach remains the same. Also, in a fast changing environment, a newer CCIE
may be more abreast with curent trends than an older one (although you must re-
certify to retain your status). This was true with Novell and Microsoft certifi
cations and certainly so with Cisco certs.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing; your 'recruiter' is a loose cannon. Fo
rward this message to him if you can.
Regards,
Eugene Akhanoba
