Gary,
My only question would be do these companies look at resume's staiting if the 
persons last job was in the network field, as a student in a Novell school, 
or a burger slinger after high school..
Also, do they judge the applicant be looks & manors, or do they have a second 
technical interview..
Are they also taking into account if the applicant came from a non Novell 
cert school..
I'm on my way to CNE at the moment (3 track)..  Pass'd the CNA so far, & just 
ace'd install & config, so I'm interested in which way this may go..
I did install & run a 3.11 network for 3 years at my last job btw, so if I 
took the tests would I be consider'd 'PAPER CNE' ???
Not to memtion, how many 'PCNE's' are working out & how many are bombing 
ut??
We always hear about problems, how many people write about sucess's??
Just my 2 cents worth anyway..
