I've found on applying for jobs they do ask for certain things, and unless you have what they want you don't get past the bots, so yes just for the certification.
But yeah good point

Maybe it's just been my experience, but CompTIA seems to be more DoD focused. Any DoD agency or contractor that works with the DoD wants CompTIA certs, but I haven't seen much outside of the DoD care a lot about CompTIA.
I've been working IT administration for almost 10 years, and server admin and data center admin for the past 3 years, and right now I just have Security+. I'm currently going through Server+ simply for the certification on a resume because its a lifetime cert. I start CASP next week, and then after CASP if its still being offered here I'm shooting for CCNA. A+ is the bare minimum we require for entry level help desk administrative roles.
