[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to be able to back up your answers but I think that you have to be generous to yourself if you want to make the cert.  Also, the questionaire just for HR to weed out.  The answers are not seen by the hiring manager.  [/quote]

Now THAT is really helpful information!!! I always assumed the hiring mgr would have those questions there and you'd kind of have to "prove" that you were an expert since that's what you specifically chose. I personally wouldn't answer the ad for one I couldn't backup, but it'd be much easier to sell your skills and experience if they don't have those exact questions in front of them and approach it saying "Well you put that you were an Expert at _____. Tell us how," rather than "Tell us how you have used X and Y skills and in what experiences.", and so on.[/quote]

I was sent copies of all the applicants answers to the questions for the position we just filled (internal). That said, they were basically a non-factor because everyone gives themselves the top score for everything. [/quote]
