Certifications on the other hand show one thing clearly. The person with the certification has some sort of dedication. Either time or money, something was spent on that title. A certification is a proof that the holder has eager to go further.
Or that the job market was so bad that the holder couldn't even consider getting employment without a certificate and was forced to pay for the certificate. Certificates are great when the market is good and not every man and his dog have certificates. Just to illustrate, the minimum qualification for call center work today in India is a bachelors degree (3 years). Hence, the "eager to go further" doesn't even come into consideration. Its more of an essential requirement like literacy. (The call center example is deliberate, where no technical skills are really needed. Usually IT departments demand higher qualifications.).
