Experience matters. Paper doesn't always mean skill...
I once had to interview 8 people for a rather intense support position. Of the 8, 6 were MCSE's.

Every one of the MCSE's fell flat on their interviews for technical ability.

They had paper but NO skill whatsoever.

We ended up hiring a person with NO paper yet a strong 5 years of street experience. It worked out well...
