The point is that MOST of HR people in today's businesses are 
not much into the business they run, i mean, when they 
interview a security manager they don't discuss in depth 
issues, they just look at their certs. the rest are 
complementaries. If the interviewer liked you, you're in, 
otherwise you're out.

A worrying thought. I'd hope that most businesses wouldn't base their
assessment of a candidate's suitability purely on the prejudices of someone
from HR, but I dare say it happens. :(
