I agree with this. I knew a guy once that had 12 years experience as a Unix
admin who didn't know what SSH was. Go figure..
On the recruiters, they are what I call 'glorified' used car salesmen. I
also put real estate agents in that category as well ;)
Good luck to the original poster looking for a job.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I have had bad experience in this so
called experience stuff.
It's not always true that one with 10 years experience would be better than
one with 3 years
experience. I think it all boils down to what kind of person are you and
what did you do in that
years of job exposure. If you just sit down maintaining your systems for 10
years, and the other guy
with 3 years experience is working his butt off, solving problem,
troubleshooting and improving the
system, I would favor the 3 years one.
Personal experience I know ppl with experience more than mine that doesn't
even know how to
configure ISDN correctly or how EIGRP works.(yeah EIGRP, don't even bother
to ask about the
rest..and yes..they are network engineers).
Point is experience is not a measurement of how good they are, it's just a
measure of how long
they've been in the field, which doesn't necessarily means they are better.
Of course there are also
lots of other guys who've been in the field longer than I, with knowledge
that kept me thinking, how
the hell he can cope up with all those kowledge in his head. This is a
personal opinion, just
wanting to share with some of you. There is no point to debate it, ppl has
different opinion and I
respect that.

Scott,
One thing to keep in mind is that 3 years isn't a whole lot - experience
wise (CCIE or no CCIE).
This isn't a slap in the face or anything, just something to keep in mind.
