No, not a deep philosophical question as this involves agency ads. A lot of ads specify "proven experience of yada". What is proof? Can anything really be proven? Would a philosophical essay denying the existence of proof satisfy an agent and bag you an interview?

Ahhh a network guru, I've just started doing the CCENT as I need a route out of MS support as its going nowhere.Originally posted by snaw View PostYep. You can go to cisco's website put my name in and CCIE number and it'll be verified
Can you recommend any of the netsims (any good free ones?) or should I be buying a Cisco lab kit from eBay?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

"Proven" means "tested" in this context, doesn't it? Like if you passed your driving test and then applied to do the Paris-Dakar Rally. The job ad would ask for "proven experience in the Sahara".Comment
