[TriLUG] Career planning - certs(?)

[Jim Ray]

I'll take someone that has an interest and a good home network over a
person with experience in the field and alphabet soup after their name
any day. If you do not tell the prospect, the prospect might not know.

With that said, what can you put on your resume that is learned in the
home
lab?  I realize knowledge is knowledge regardless of where you learned
it,
but if I setup LDAP at home and my 8 year olds uses it to login, that
doesn't exactly count as experience.  I believe in certain
certifications
because they put a professional face on your home grown experience.
