It depends on how good your online certifications are related to the rest of the resume. Will they will improve it or detract from it?
Brainbench seems to pass the top 40% so on each exam. I have Brainbench certifications in subjects that are not my area of expertise, and for which I did not study.
I fully agree to the first point. Talking about me, I have more than 4 years experience and a Sun Certification to my credit. But in these *difficult* times, can we really ignore online certs?
In between I came across a CV - This person has more than 10 yrs of industry experience with companies like Intel etc - author/co-author of more than 3 books at least. After such an impressive track record, he still have displayed 10 or so Brainbench certs with Logo !!! Here it is..
Rick's Resume - Author of Java eX Programming
That made me rethink about certs, and hence the original post.
Thanks,
Ashok.
