    Q. So what about us who drank the Kool-Aid – studied and paid for Apple Certification?

    A. Guess it just bites the dust. Start completely over, change is good. Buyer beware. Sucks to be you. Get a new job. Uh didn’t you know we were going to make this null and void this year?

    I could never see the point. Did it get you more work?

    Yes, it did get me a few jobs when I started a few years ago so it was worth it for me. When I asked why they hired me over the other 30 applicants they said it was my reel and certification.

    I have to say no. It is advertised to help you get more work – but Apple does nothing to help you once you get it. You get listed in some obscure listing on their site and that’s it. I never get touched by Apple in any unique way.
