MCSE's needed for overflow Consultancy work

[Gonzo]

Er...

Strictly speaking accounts do not need to be filed yet because it is only two months since the end of the first financial year.

The annual return is a little overdue though.

As the agencies use it as a filter, it begs the question if anyone has ever been asked to show their MCSE certificate, either to the agent or client?

That could be said of any qualification.

I suppose a good way to get round word search type filters would be to put something like "working towards MCSE". That works on Ebay where sellers tend to put not in fron tof the brand name.

Certs.

I will be going for the Oracle Certified Master next year. Now there's a real test of ability, and will require genuine understanding of Oracle.

The Oracle Certified Professional cert: As meaningless as MS certs.

The braindump sites killed the meaningfulness of non-practical exams more than 10 years ago.

An agent asked for copies of my Oracle Certified Professional and Oracle Certified Expert qualifications this year.

Surprised, since the OCP wasn't relevant to the role at all, but if you opt into the agency regulations then they should be checking this kind of thing to make sure you are who you say you are.

This is a good idea and technically true.

I agree they should check especially if they're insisting on it for a role, it just seems daft if they don't.
