RE: Any interest in a technical support list on LinkedIn?

Okay, what about if we axe the CCxP requirement and replace it with a
requirement to be referred by someone (or multiple people) with a CCIE?
Remember, the goal is promote high-level, expert technical resources.

I suppose the LinkedIn resume will be sufficient, BUT only if there are 7+
years of experience listed on there. I see some profiles with only the
current job for the past 3 months in there...

Thoughts?

Ed,

Might need to relax the CCxP certification thing. I know some pretty capable

people who don't have that.

Resume's are on linkedin already aren't they?

Gary
