If I had taken every resume I sent out in the last two years and shredded them and flushed them down the toilet, and then bombed the local sewage treatment plant to make sure nobody would find the shredded bits, dry them out, and paste them together, I would have gotten no less of a response than I actually did.
So you may wish to take my advice with a grain of salt.
I would rather hire somebody who is self-taught than somebody who has a vendor certification for every orifice but has no experience. All to many of these people picked up the certs by sitting in a class, cramming for a test, and not knowing which end of an ethernet cable goes in the computer.
The problem is you may not have your resume read by somebody like me. If it's read by somebody with a checklist of qualifications, they will compare your resume to the list and then file it. (And I don't mean in a filing cabinet.)
For my money,
this guy gives excellent advice on how to navigate this process.
