How many certs are too many?

by surfrider26 . Updated 14 years, 3 months ago

I am a recently laid off Sys Admin guy.

I was with my previous company for close to 9 years, so needless to say I am seeing that my certs need some updating and upgrading.

What I wanted to find out was if there are any disadvantages to having TOO many certs when apply for work?

Currently I have
MCSE, MCSA, MCP, Sec+

I am currently working on MCTS: Exchange 2010 and will then be working on my MCTS for SQL 2008 (both of which seem to be the highest in demand during job searches)

After which I plan on getting VMWare Professional and and possibly PMP (really high demand from what I read moving into the future)

But as a manager, would you shy away from my if I had 7+ certifications?
