    They probably waited until you left to Moq.

      No wonder I've never got anywhere.

        When you told me you'd had your vaginoplaty, I nearly cacked my drawers with excitement.

          Wasnt that such an oxymoron! I bought the books some years back intending to do the exams and get it on my cv. I found it to be such a boring load of irrelevant rubbish I couldnt get past chapter 2 or 3.

            It's a bit like BCS Membership and an MBA. Held in extremely high esteem by those who have one but largely disregarded by those who don't.

            I have heard putting 'Prince 2 accredited' in white letters on a white background in a tiny font somewhere one your CV can help you get past numpty agents doing blind searches.

              The other way round. I have PRINCE2 but hold it in no esteem. The agents rate it.

                Same goes for ISEB Practitioner and ISTQB Advanced (testing qualifications). A steaming pile of crap. But if a steaming pile of crap will get my CV through the initial screening by agent, HR and/or purchasing department numpties then I shall provide a steaming pile of crap.

                  Yep, no point getting precious one way or the other about these things. If they get you as far as an interview, you can do the rest...
