Certified Certification, anyone?

I received my Microsoft Officer Certification for Word and Excel in high school. Granted, the job market is full of people that know how to use Microsoft Office, but receiving certification does look good on your resume. Especially since there are people out there who figure that it's not important to list the skills on the resume. I know that's how I got my college job as a software specialist and avoided the gruesome task of cafeteria/janitorial work.

Cisco and A+ are definitely worth testing for, but if you ever find the spare time (and $50) then it couldn't hurt to test for Microsoft Office Certification. However, those tests can be difficult if you're not used to all of the features within Excel and Access. I heard that Power Point was suppose to be the most difficult since you have to have a 90% success rate. The more certifications you receive, the better off you are in the technological world...even if it is just a piece of paper saying you know how to use Word.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm a retard so I keep failing the microsoft tests.

LOL, it's not all your fault if you use the practice tests. I took a practice test for Word and I was able to pass with one of the highest scores in the school. However, when they rennovated the practice tests for Excel, the practice test was nothing like the actual test, so I had to retake it a second time b/c it was going into deeper detail such as goal seeking and amorization (sp?), which are parts of Excel that I rarely see anyone use.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
