Re: [TCLUG:16577] A+ Certification

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

yes, which is why I don't have such certs on my resume, I'm not interested
in a company that can't evaluate my skills based on my job history.  which
also is why I'm at a job that I actualy enjoy doing, except for people
compalaining about our shitty phone system problems..

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
