Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certificate required
CompTIA networking certifications preferred

Call me an idiot but didn't compTIA networking certificate is a really required for Desktop support that didn't touch the LAN cable? Not at all. Don't even think of touching it...

"Well, we have two CCIE candidates, one with CompTIA and one without. Now, the one without-"

"Hold on there. Go with the one that has CompTIA. It's a no-brainer. We said it was preferred for a reason!"

TESTIMONIAL ON COMPTIA CERT PAGE SOMEWHERE:

"Sure, I have a CCIE, but it was my CompTIA cert that clinched the interview for me!"

Be right back, I need to renew my Belkin cert...

Nope, nope, and nope. If you have 24x7 requirements you need to staff for 24x7 requirements. That means a minimum of six people if nobody goes on vacation or is sick. Nine would be better.
