Do employers respect the CSWP exam?

[Dennis]

Just a general question. How much respect
do companies give to the CSWP exam?
Is it worth the effort to study for it?

Prob'ly depends on who is actually making the hire decision as to
whether it's worth much. Your average engineering manager is going to
be looking at other things first, and probably is going to presume that
any idiot can learn to drive the software. Personally, if it was $100
I'd go for it . . . but it ain't $100.

Speaking as both the chief engineer and engineering manager, all I'd look
for is any 3D parametric modeler experience. General design experience and
personality are most important. Exams often don't prove anything but
patience.

It has made it easier for me to get my foot in the door having my CSWP Cert.
It has also helped me get some respect, but that depends on the person you
talk too.
