Actually, an increasing number of managers do not look at
certification. There are a lot of people who boast with their
certification, but have little experience. Being able to solve a
problem quickly in a competent manner is much more important than
learning facts by heart. We have references for that ;).
At any rate, getting back on-topic: maybe it would be nice to have a
job section somewhere (e.g. the Wiki?). At the NetBSD project we have a
job mailinglist, and it has proven to be a good way for people to get a
job related to their favorite project :^). And I am convinced that
there are a lot of companies out there that'd love to get experienced
CentOS administrators.
