Yeah man, it is true. There are actually a hell a lot of companies
that might hire you just because you are a CCNP (Cisco Certified
Network Professional). It gives you a very big advantage compared
to some other programmers that haven't got that kind of a
''degree''. From my own experience i can tell you, that i had such
a situation, when a guy who was a CCNP got hired while i was
ignored, despite the fact that i graduated a better university with
better grades, but i haven't the certificate from cisco. That dude
told me to try the ccnp courses at
SPOTOclub.com, as
they are really useful and then you can easily pass the exam.
