It is that TIME again.

Personally, I hate those certifications. I've interviewed so many DBAs who passed the Oracle certification who are soooo bad, well let me put it this way: I would rather have these Certified People manage my competition's databases rather than my own.

Tell me about it, I have interviewed and come into contact with that many people with "certifications" who clearly don't have a clue as to how it works in real life. Something that I've noticed though, is that employers are starting to take more notice of a persons experience and references than their certifications.

Migrate to Australia, a person with that set of qualifications would find a job in no time, circa AU$80K+ p/a easy.
