do qualifications really make a difference?
I've been wondering; I've met quite a few people with all these certifications(A+, Microsoft/Macromedia Certified Professional and others)
Do they actually make that big of a difference when applying for a job? Not only in the hosting industry, but in all jobs to do with computers?

As much as I think most of them are completely worthless, it really does make a difference to many companies. Many hire completely on that basis alone and will not hire without it.

Hi ataylor
I think it depends on with whom the job is with, eg. a corporation or larger company would probably prefer to see degrees and qualifications... whereas I think others would prefer practical real life experience and good references.
They are just my thoughts and experiences, though

Any type of legitimate certification show that the applicant at least had the motivation to learn more about their chosen field. I think it makes a difference but it shouldn't be a deciding factor.
