opinion on braindumps and questions people ask

I am new to this news group but over the past month or so I have seen people
put down for asking legitimate questions and slammed for using different
materials (braindumps) to study. When you sit down and look at the
certification it is not the piece of paper which indicates the ability to
perform the tasks. It is the performance of the job which indicates the
value of the certification. So if a person is achieving their certification
using the method of study which fills the short term memory with information
when it comes to the performance they will fail. I look at it this way,
since people are doing this it has required employers to improve the
interview process to weed out the weak, Since I have received my
certification a legitimate way I don't worry about those interviews and I
don't worry about my performance. If they want to spend a great deal of
money to buy these products to help them study then let them waste their
money. It is not going to help them get a job. I have spent many years
working with people who can talk smack, but when it comes to performance
they are fired because they can not do even the simplest of things. Yes I
consider these products to be cheating that is why I have spent thousands of
dollars, and countless hours working with each product so I know what is
going on. Not to mention I seek out those who have the experience so I can
learn new material and apply it. I am not saying we should not tell these
people they are cheating, what I am saying is maybe less effort should be
spent on that and more time helping those with legitimate questions.
Sarcasm seen in this news groups directed at people with legitimate
questions do just as much to de-value our certifications as does the person
who uses braindumps. As professionals we should be professionals.

What you have just said is that 'achieving an ms certification does
not mean the person is certified', for which I agree This begs the
question what is the point if the certification if it does not prove a
damn thing?

This, to me, is the biggest problem. To get back to the level where ms
certifications actual means something, the whole process needs to
change.

In all honesty, there would be few 'legitimate questions' of any
relevance which would not break the nda.

As far as sarcasm goes, well if people are to lazy & stupid and are
unable to perform the most basic of research, well quite frankly those
type of people have no business in IT.

I agree with you that the value of certification has been reduced by people
who seek and achieve it without knowing more than just the theory behind it.
But until the people who are achieving the certification stop sharing what
is on the test it is not going to stop. The military takes action against
people who participate in test compromise with jail time. It will not be
until Microsoft takes action against these people will it stop. When I see
posting such as I have these dumps and will share them I wonder why nothing
is done. Maybe some type of system could be put in place for employers to
notify Microsoft when a person who has certification applies for a job doesn
't know their ass from a wide spot in the road.



I also agree with you regarding people who do not have the knowledge to make
simple searches such as Google or to go to the Microsoft site to research
the information should not be in the IT world. But do we have to attack
them in a way which is unprofessional. Not to mention the attacks on people
who do know what is going on but others feel the need to play games with
words.
