I have a question that kind of follows a long the lines of this one... If you have a certification that lapses, can you still note it on your resume? I got my CCNA certification 3 1/2 years ago, but do to recent time constraints, I wasn't able to go take the recertification exam. Can I still list that on my resume, maybe with the year it expired, or is that not cool? Just wondering what others thought about that...

So, certs are important for career advancement. On another front, certs give confidence to your employer and client about your capabilities.

I have not seen much value given to Sec+ cert but I have seen value given to the SSCP. It also gives you a good step towards obtaining your CISSP eventually.

I know that the CISSP certification is aimed more at management, and is worthwhile, but I'm not management (yet), so I'm looking at the Security+, but I don't know if it's worth the time. Does anyone know how much value it has? I've been able to follow the discussions I've seen here, but I wouldn't call myself a security expert by any means. Thanks, Bert Knabe
