      <![CDATA[<p>I think you are wrong.  Certifications are always important.  You are only focusing on "programming."  However, all the rest of your articles appear to be on the "tech" side.  Certifications are always important in getting the job.</p>

<p>You never interview with 1 person for a high level job.  For example, in my position, I interviewed with 4 people over the course of three weeks.  Two people believed that the certifications were important.  One because he believed that someone who took time to achieve certian certifications on their own showed a more "get up and go" attitude.  The one other believed that it showed a higher quality of base of knowledge.</p>

<p>So when it came to hiring me or the other guy, I was chosen becuase of my skills *AND* because of my certifications.</p>]]>
