Hi Jason,
You have asked a really good question. I would like to
answer it with a scenario, lets say, I go for an
interview for the post of a security professional (in
general), I would need to convey my skills to the
persons there. If I tell them that I am a hacker, they
would argue and may ask, "hack this box and prove
it!". It may not be possible to hack the box kept in
front of you in that interview. But, if you have a
certification which is recognised by the industry then
they would really think that you are a hacker with
atleast basic skills which they wont argue. I knew
about hacking before doing CEH certification, but the
certificate is like a 'gate pass' if you dont have
adequate experience in the field. You may have long
stories to tell how you hacked some stuff but,
interviews last only for few minutes, isnt it ?
