		<description>Hi Janet,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In a way you are right. A real-time work experience teaches lot more than coaching and certification. However, I think a certification would do some good for a Fresher if s/he wants to take up a job in this direction. Hope i make sense. Thank you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kind Regards,&lt;br&gt;Lokabhiram Dwarakanath</description>

		<description>I agree that hiring a college kid with a marketing degree is a better option.  I being a recent grad have a better understanding of the online communities AND have the ability to learn the details needed to understand relationship management.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some companies are charging 2,000 dollars for this &quot;certification&quot;. Granted they teach you a lot of information, but information without a strategy is useless.  That is why I believe that a certification doesn&#039;t mean much unless there is some substance behind it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, these certifying companies just teach about Social Media, that&#039;s called school, when you teach someone something...in that case I&#039;m a certified College Person...whatever that means!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m semi-new to consulting in social media, tho not new to it, and every time I read an excellent rant like this one, I know I&#039;m on the right track. Thanks for the re-affirmation.</description>
