Can be legit. I once got turned down for a job because i didn't have an mcse despite having over 20 years experience administering windows server and AD (and i'm talking laaaaaarge scale...universities and citrix farms).

That's what happens when the people doing the hiring don't know anything about any of the skills required for the role

The amount of people who make it through HR hell and interview for my team, that have a some experience but it's all bounce around 1y and then have an insane amount of certs, that don't know what they're doing is way to high in tech. I'll take a green horn that wants to learn and has a good foundation before I'll take someone with bounce around experience and a shit load of certs. Almost all certs are how well can you take tests.

I have literally worked in environs where having certifications and nothing else was grounds for disqualification because it meant you'd been taught dogma, not functionality. My personal fave was the tech who put in a request for graphite dust to clean a power button on workstation because it was sticking. Why was it sticking? Some jackass had spilled coke.

I cleaned it with a chux and closed the ticket.
