Spoke to an agent a week or two ago who wanted me to do an online Brainbench test for me to prove my skills. I said okay but then the test mysteriously never appeared and have not heard back from the agent.
But anyway, it got me thinking.
As someone that has lots of experience but no formal qualifications (I started programming on a Sinclair ZX-80), I was wondering what folks thought about doing a few Brainbench tests just to stick them on the CV, and add that extra bit of credibility in the eye of the average agent?
EDIT:
I mean formal IT-related qualifications related to my specialist contracting field, rather than no qualifications at all.
