They required you to be ::SAIR certified to get hired. They gave you a choice of either paying $3100 ::for training, then taking the tests. (If you passed the tests, you get ::reimbursed for the training fees.) Or, you could take the tests on your ::own. If you pass the tests either way, you are guaranteed the job. Does ::this sound too good to be true?? And what are good books to get for SAIR ::testing? I thought LPI was better..... This sounds like the scam that a St. Louis company (I forgot the name) pulled about 18-24 months ago. Please post the name of the company. This sounds like a shady deal and I don't mean Eminem is involved either. ;) Remember most Linux certs are still in the infant stages. It's kind of like requireing and MCSE back in 1996-97...there were what 10 of them. ;) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
