• You could in theory talk, blog, present a lot about basic select, insert, update and delete and get an MVP award. Doesn't mean you can admin a server or do complex development. Just means you talked a lot and helped a lot of people with the very very basic T-SQL statements.

    Interesting, this is NOT the perception I at least have received about the MVP, maybe because all the MVPs I have read stuff from have seemed like experts in the field.

    Sigh , I hate the whole job hunting process and was sort of hoping a short cut at least existed. Not that I would have been able to take it when it comes time for me to look for my next job, but at least it would have given me hope that there was a better way of finding a job out there.
