Re: Techwr-l certification?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

If you're having difficulty getting work without a certificate
(in your case, my guess is that the recruiter is asking about
a certificate because you don't have a four-year degree
and is hoping that hiring companies will accept it as an
equivalent), then it's worthwhile, especially if you can find
a program somewhere that will credit real-world work
experience toward the prerequisites for getting one.  It
would certainly require less time and effort than going
back for a bachelor's.

Then she asked if I have a technical writing certificate (for what 
reason, I
wondered). What do all of you think about such certification and, if you
think it's worthwhile, from where should consider getting such 
certification
online?
