Or maybe he is one of those people that think his CCIE # is the only valid
CCIE and everyone else is just getting lucky. I am sure this will open up a
can of worms but my thought would be is this someone you would want to work
for, even if you achieve you goal will he have any respect for you hard
work.

Subject: CCIE: FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I interviewed recently for a sr. networking position and mentioned to the
interviewing manager, in passing, that I will be taking my ccie lab soon.
His response got me thinking and wondered what your thoughts are. This is
exacltly his response:
"Guys these days pass ccie depending on what test they get. ccie is
rediculous these days since the scenarios and questions asked are non-real
life and no good practicing engineer will ever use the methods stipulated in
the test" And then he goes on to say: "If you tune you ears to
groupstudy.com and pay attention to some of the rediculous questions and
scenarios being posed, then maybe you have a chance of passing". Guess
what? This guy is a ccie himself with a number in the 3000s. By the way, I
didn't piss him off for him to say these things, he actually was very
impressed with my years of experience and educational background.
It has gotten me thinking and quite frustrated at the thought of this
certification being branded as "ridiculous" by the same employers we are
trying to prove that we have top notch certification.
