[thelist] Brainbench Certification

[Daniel McMurray]

To add to this, I was interviewed for a training position last may/june,
and they asked me if I had taken any certification tests.  When I asked if
Brainbench counted, they said "That's what we use, too."

So....it may be in the severe minority, but it is used for professional
purposes at least a little.

Hope this helps!
