RE: USE of Other Certificates like CISSP or Microsoft in the CV

No one certification "says it all". Some are more valuable than others, but
it still depends on what you are attempting to illustrate and to whom.

So the question is, whaddya want to do? I don't generally let people know
about my MCSE any longer, partly because it's the old NT4.0 one, but partly
'cause I just don't want to do server admin any longer! But the CISSP I
find useful at different times.

Other things like my telephony certs, or CTP (a TIA certification for
convergence), or wireless stuff I'll use at different points in time
depending on what gig I'm working on (or if someone pisses me off (grin)).

But for most things, the expert-level certifications work just fine for me.
Especially with the training mechanism, it's what my clients care about.

In your case, illustrate whatever your clients care about! (Besides, that's
what the "et al" covers in my sig!)

Hi All,
  I have a question. Now that I became a CCIE shall I still use my old
titles which are CISSP, MCSE, MCDBA, CCNP under my signature in my emails or
shall I use those logos in my CV?
  You know what I mean. Comparing those certificates with CCIE, will it mean
anything to mention those ?

  Best Regards,
