Question

Do you think doing a microsoft certification like Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) opens up career chances in your life...

Answer 1

A Microsoft Certificate helps supplement experience but without experience, it doesn't do much.

Say if I interviewed two people with the same qualification and same experience but one is certified while the other is not. At the end, I will be more inclined to hire the certified person.
