    When we look for folks there are plenty out there right now. Being 
certified is a differentiator. Previous experience is clearly a plus but 
sometimes we find that someone has not 20 years of experience but 1 year 
of experience 20 times.  Having certifications helps point out that you 
have learned something along the way.
