Hi All
Every single day I receive LinkedIn joining requests from various India-girls (as per their LinkedIn profile), who poses to be in Training or HR or sometimes to any other professional sector.
The moment I accept the request, I get a typical message offering a wide variety of training and also start further conversation on LinkedIn message service, and eventually they offer that the "Trainer will sit in exam on your behalf and you will get the certificate".
I even know some of the people who actually availed such services and without knowing a bit of Information Security, they got CISSP, CISM, CRISC and many other reputed certifications.
On one hand this tragic situation has a quick answer, that those people who do not posses knowledge and just acquire a certificate will eventually face the consequence when they will try to apply in professional field. Fine, but on a bigger picture, this is causing damage to the reputation of these hard-earned certifications. If this will keep on going this way, I am sure soon the recruiters will start disregarding the badges and certificates that the candidates proudly highlight on their resume.
I think its not impossible to catch and punish these kind of criminals, yes it will take efforts and focus on this matter.
I request to this reputed certification body and other respectable participant to put focus on this matter and find some solution if we any interest to maintain the respect and reputation of the hard-earned certificates.
