And does it matter if they show up on applicants LinkedIn profiles or just resumes?

(I know some ATS slurp up LinkedIn profile data, but not sure how prominently it's shown.)

Any certification that can be archieved by memorizing a "brain dump" I kinda view negatively.

Also I generally dislike certifications, and would generally not get any myself. Most of them are like "Here memorize those random topics, that no one ever uses in real-file. Btw use the super expensive books that our organization wrote, you won't find any other anyway!"
