If you don't already know this then perhaps it's time you heard.
Recruiters do not know anything about anything.
I have not met one who truly understood even the positions they were staffing f
or. Most of these people are sales types who are inclined to anything on any gi
ven day depending on what suits there current perpective. Typically, I hold my
nose when dealing with people.

the quality of CCIE - even a one day old CCIE is someone to be reckoned with.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is either ignorant or mis-informed: usually ignora
nt of the facts. He mentions experience; hands-on ability is precisely what is
tested on the lab and this is done in the most complex and thorough manner.
