We'll probably spend 95% of the time just talking about who they are,

none of those hires had any "certificates" to impress me with, even
though those that didn't make it, did.

I find there's a strong INVERSE correlation between the quantity of
certificates on an applicant's resume and their ability to do the job.
I still have to laugh about the guy who let me know via his resume
that he was certified in setting up Kentrox CSU/DSUs.
