Re: Security Expert Certificates

["Jay D. Dyson" <jdyson () bugtraq org>]

While I cannot speak for other security companies, at BTS we generally 
immediately dismiss any applicants who brag a long line of security 
certifications (or any, for that matter) without even giving the person
a chance to prove their technical worth.

If you feel you have to use some certification, instead of being able
to impress us with something actually related to security knowledge to 
get a job, then you're not the sort of person who should be working in 
the computer security world.
