Quick question about the certification and the digidesign website listing... Have you gotten any jobs/customers by listing yourself on the site? Has the certification helped you out any better than not having it? Thanks!

Nope. I have operator level in music and post. Only one job I have applied for had requirements for 6.x certification, and that was because it was a brand new studio (I still found it strange that it was a requirement though). I've gotten zero jobs that were purely as a result of my listing on the digi site (as far as I know). When people want to hire an engineer, they usually don't go there to look for one.
Those exams are ridiculous. Most of the questions are completely impractical...like for example knowing how many playlists or memory locations you can have. Who gives a [bleep]? How does that make you a better operator? It won't help you much in your employment search. Then again, it doesn't hurt you either. Just get out there and meet people. Cheers.
