I’ve been on several Job interviews where A+ and Net+ were required. But then I’ve also been on several where they were beneficial but not required.

don’t forget bryant and stratton…
no one that expects the person to know anything will hire someone with those certs, or any degree really without work experience.
MCSE is ok - it teaches you plenty of shit that you actually need to know to run windows servers, which is valuable. I still would hire someone with a year of proven experience over any cert though.

those are just big corps looking to give a reason to weed people out, that is lazy recruitment, and will result likely in crappy employees 😛

I can’t think of any decent job that would require A+
On the other hand these would be helpful
MCSE
CCNA
Any Citrix cert

Thats what I’m saying, I need it because even though it may be bullshit the job I’m trying to get requires it.

I honestly don’t think any of these certs are bullshit, unless you’re already in the field and have a few years experience; which I don’t so the next best thing is to try and get experience while obtaining these certifications.
