RE: Value of certifications

["Brian Bemis" <brian_bemis () hotmail com>]

I have a question that kind of follows a long the lines of this one...

If you have a certification that lapses, can you still note it on your
resume? I got my CCNA certification 3 1/2 years ago, but do to recent time
constraints, I wasn't able to go take the recertification exam. Can I still
list that on my resume, maybe with the year it expired, or is that not cool?
Just wondering what others thought about that...
