Companies are eager to hire, but they cannot waste valuable resources evaluating candidates who are not sufficiently skilled. Having the MCSD certification goes a long way to remove barriers to hiring, and increases potential for promotion within the industry. This is especially true for those with less than five years of relevant experience, but it is recommend to anyone who wants to work in the Microsoft Windows software-development industry.

Additionally, you will gain the satisfaction of knowing and proving your skills to yourself and others.
