RE: Re: "Application DBA"

William, I did my OCP because of the same reason. My student was given preference by one recruiter who did OCP and my resume kept on a side because I was not OCP. My 10 years experience in 1998 was not counted agianst 1 year experience + OCP of my student.

Yes, this happened in USA. Now a days I got a short term assignment because I am OCP 9i and US Citizen(because client is defence contractor).

Regards
Rafiq

that they are and experience doesn't seem to count either. i was refused interviews for a number of jobs because i have neither a degree or an OCP. and while interviewed for others, they hired someone with a degree [in one case a degree in history] and no experience. i even had one place come back to me a couple of months after not hiring me, asking if i would work for them as a contractor to clean up the mess the person they did hire made. i had just taken this contract at the time so i graciously refused.;-)
