Pass given to those who cram them into a "certificates" or "specifics" 
line or similar in order to get around HR filters, limit them to major 
certs (or ones your HR dept. specifically demanded), and don't really 
mention them otherwise.  Bear in mind as well that, even if your hiring 
process doesn't demand them, others' will, and many people have a 
standard-ish resume with application-specific cover letter.
