I replied that with my standard spiel: I know lots of people but I don't know who is looking, if the job is PHP related, I'll post it on my blog if you give me the reqs. @NY: That's pretty common and why it’s put at the bottom. Ours adds something like "from a top 25 university" or something like that. It's just a first pass filter/discouragement, not a be-all end-all exception. It comes down to what do you think would be a better filter: * BS/MS in CS or related field or * Zend Certified I’d do the former because there are a lot of good PHP developers who aren’t Zend Certified not to mention good developers who could be PHP developers. ( BTW, I'm not BS/MS in CS or related field. :-D ) @Adam: The first part of the post was directed to me.

or

I’d do the former because there are a lot of good PHP developers who aren’t Zend Certified not to mention good developers who could be PHP developers.

Smart companies looks for passion, personality and experience. Personally, when the only non-vague requirement is “BS/MS in Computer Science or related field”, my socks stay on :)
