Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: the ora certified masters cert, yet again
This threads getting to be a lengthy one, and I might as well add my two
cents to it. I too come from the same school of thought. That you are OCP
certified holds no water with me. OK. So you are OCP Certified.That dont
impress me much.
One of my first questions, when I am asked to conduct an interview, is ask them to name some of the Oracle Gurus they have read about, to name some helpful Oracle sites, or some great white papers. The answers, almost always, tend to reflect the level of expertise. Jonathan Lewis, Steve Adams, Cary Millsap, Craig Shallahamer, Anjo Kolk, Tom Kyte, Kevin Loney,
Rama Velupuri, Racheal Carmicheal, ..................
Sadly, my point of view differs from that of most recruiters. I know of an OCP who, when told that the developers were running out of temporary tablespace, put in a request with the SA to increase the disk space for /tmp. I also know of a HR personnel who rejected my resume coz I had no 8i experience. Sadly, my resume said 8.1.6, 8.1.7.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Sorry, I can't help being quiet.
I've no respect for the OCP. I saw MANY people bought the exams from many sources. These people memorize the questions and answers prior the test day. Voila, they pass the tests and still don't understand how to install and configure the database.
I learned it on my job and am still learning. I took the 8i exam program and was EXTREMELY disappointed. I learned nothing.
