Agreed this list is so far from the truth. Vmware should be way before Apple certs.CCNA, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCDST, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, Working towards Networking BS. CCNP is Next. -

I re-read it and the 2nd sentence basically says "support specialists" which this list is much more in line with. With that in mind I think its a little better.CCNP | CCIP | CCDP | CCNA, CCDA
CCNA Security | GSEC |GCFW | GCIH | GCIA

I personally haven't (seriously) used a Techrepublic resource since I stopped being a "Help Desk" guy, and TR seems mostly for the novice support person. I am more of a ittoolbox kind-of-guy myself, but that's more forum based than anything. But they do have a WIDE spectrum of all things IT. But TR is a joke and the cert list should be printed out and kept in the restroom in case you run out of toilet paper... -

Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

This list is also fail. How can the CCAr been hot if like 3 people have it?
Realistically how many jobs truly require that level of Cisco Networking Expertise? I mean I think CCIE is way overkill for like 75 percent of Networking jobs out there.
I have never seen strata green requested on anything. I can agree with VCP and ITIL foundations however. Those seem to be wanted. -

I'd have to agree that the Apple certs are silly. I added mine to my cert list as a joke. There are specialized places that those certs would come in handy. Graphic design, some universities and schools, media production. But even in those areas the back end is often not Mac based.
My guess is some execs decided they wanted Macbooks, and now he thinks he needs Apple certs.
Just saw an advert today for a mac support guy, it was paying £180 a day, I bet you would have got in with those certs.

If this was an experts exchange list it would have more credibility. -

Im familiar with that....that is...you can't do ANYthing but bind an OS 10.3 or higher machine to AD. You can't manage it in any form or fashion unless you either tie in Apple Open Directory (LOL!) or buy a product that provides for managing Mac clients. Quest Authentication Services is excellent for that, others like Centrify suck. -

I don't agree with this at all: two apple certs and a Sonicwall cert? No,no,no!

There is too much overlap on this list for it to be taken seriously. If an MCITP is on the list, MCTS should not and SERVER+ and A+ should not either for that matter.
That eliminates a third of the Certs on this list. Removing the Apple certs puts you at the halfway marker and I havent seen any sonicWall deployments so that can probably go too...
Most of his honorable mentions should be on the list somewhere (save Quickbooks and maybe Linux+)...
His justification that this is what Small Businesses are looking for is a crock. I dont know a single small business that could afford or would even want a CISSP or PMP. They get paid too much money for SMBs and really what does a SMB need with high-end security and Project management?
I found this list which is probably more on the numbers but its a short list of only 4 so a lot was left off... (including Linux stuff)
