Certified....

Certified Nut? No
Certified Geek? No.
How about Certified Inventor Professional. That can help.
With today's economy, it helps to stand out in teh crowd. Autodesk has now released and ready for you to take the Inventor Certifications.

Visit here for an Overview: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=10095419)

There are 2 levels, Associate and Profesional.
You have to take the Associate and Pass to take the Professional.
If you take and pass the Professional Exam, you get a certificate and a Logo that you can stick in the Signature portion of your email. Also, you can be listed in Autodesk's database of Professionals for Employers (or Clients) to see.
There are practice tests available (free) to get you ready.

You have to go to a Autodesk ATC (Authorized Training Center) to take the test. However, for teh small fee, it may pay off big from a job point of view.

I recieved notification today that i passed, so you can too.
