    New #goals for this year: #Ruby certification (I get "pickaxe"), master's #thesis on #management and preparations for #CAE (it'll be hard).

      @zal Why won't you try to get CPE instead of CAE? Unless you need that to skip some kind of local examination before a deadline.

      @makdaam Because I don't have any English certificate and I don't think that my English skills are enough to obtain #CPE.

      @makdaam I think that #CAE is for me like a save point before #CPE :D

      @zal Most employers look for any kind of certification in languages to weed out people who lie in CVs :)

      @makdaam Yes, it's a shame for me that I even don't have #FCE. At the same time it's funny because I had all my lessons at #ZiE in English.

      @zal No shame in that, certification is for other people :P I'm not planning on getting anything above FCE anytime soon.

      @zal Mostly because the nuances don't matter in my line of work (tech. talk) and most talks are in US English not BE :)

      @makdaam I find certificates useful only because they give me well defined goals and they are easy to rate. I like to learn in that way ;]

      @zal too bad it doesn't work well in networking or more complicated security (where strict procedures and patterns are a disadvantage)

      @makdaam Yes, you're right and I'm glad that they're OK for natural languages and basics of computer programming ;] It's a good motivation.
