So if you quit you will be competing with 47% of the people in your line of work.
B
The 33% are not to be added to the 14% but compare to 86%.
So I'd say that would make you competiting againt 42.38% ( 14 + (33*86)/100) of the total and not 47%... reassuring, no ?

Great, congratulations!
Denver, was this somewhere in Colorado (sorry I am European)? Can you really find certified people in Colorado is my question? You know the proverb about the "kingdom of blind people"?

To borrow from FMJ:
There's only two things that come from Colorado, Steers and Queers. Which one are you boy?

Yes my math was a bit sloppy but far more dramatic no ?
:D
You can now find Certified Cisco women in the Afghan so why not Denver? Yes I live just outside Boulder CO and its beautful and sunny ( 70 ) once again. Mostly barb-wire fence companies for all thoses steers such as Sun Mircrosystems, Raytheon, Qwest, Level3, Corporate Express and Gateway Computer to name the usual suspects.
Also I thought that line was from Officer and Gentlemen and not Full Metal Jacket ?
Yes people seem to be requesting Certifications and of course mine is emblazened in red and black at the top of my resume.
But I wont stop there I am also CFI,CFII and MEI - anybody know that that is ?
:D

Did the companies with whom you interviewed make favorable remarks about OCP?
