CEH & Work

in General Certification
I am thinking of going for my CEH after I complete my 70-351 exam, however I have always wonder how does current/potential employers see you having the CEH cert? Is there any backlash that comes with it, because when people hear the term "hacker" they see it in a negative light. So am I wondering if anyone knows of or has had experienced any kind of negative backlash from gaining your CEH?

    Yeah I wish they would just let everyone choose between CEH or "Certified Network Defense Architect (CNDA)" which is what anyone who works for the government and takes the exam gets to claim it as. Except for the title the certs/tests are 100% identical.

    You can always leave it off your resume. Put if on if you're applying for a security position where it will benefit you and leave it off if you're applying for a job helping senior citizens dial in to AOL on Win95.

    There can be backlash and preemptive strikes. A friend of mine wasn't allowed to take the exam. His VP told their group they would be fired if they took it. I'll hold my comments on that.

    I'm almost tempted not to even bother to try to pass this exam. This course just seems useless and problematic.

    Don't get so upset...it's just ones and zeros.
