        I think this is bad advice because it may seem that you are claiming certification when you haven't yet been certified. Unfortunately many of the resumes I see appear to have been put together by spin doctors (if I wasn't feeling charitable I would say that they lie). When I see one of these I become more skeptical of the candidate's qualifications and tend to judge them by a harsher standard then I use when I feel that a candidate is being completely honest.
