in reply to Personal Recommendations instead of Certificates?

IMHO certifications are overvalued. All they really mean is that you can read a study guide and pass a test. I've met plenty of people with certifications out the wazoo that were A) idiots, B) incompetent, or C) both. Not saying everyone with one is that way, but they're out there. If you want to know how good someone is, look at their prior body of work, and ask them technical questions. I once interviewed at The Mathworks. I had to give a presentation and brought source code for the project I was presenting on. That way, everyone who knew perl could see what I had written and gauge for themselves what they thought of my skills.
