    I could say something about you missing that "tender touch", but, that would be naughty, so I won't.

      Indeed. I can carry on typing at speed while talking to someone next to me and so many people comment on it. I don't get it. You use a keyboard for 8 hours a day
      Why can't people become proficient using it. Just learn a few basics and you get 8 hours a day to practice.

          This is good for me, as those ones go straight in the bin.
          but thing is, you need some of these certs to get past the pimps at the first pass....

            I mean they plastered the graphics all over it, for e.g.



            In any case, I have no certifications and have done plenty of roles, where the ad said they were a requirement.
            As others have said, experience counts more than these bits of paper.

                    Lovely

                    They were about that size actually and all the white margin, over the four sides, was covered in them.

                    I actually binned it, due to feeling inadequate
