Continuing to support PoP's well written analysis above, I worked for a Fortune 250 (URS Corporation) for almost 10 years as the Business Development Director in my region. i often interviewed PM candidates as part of the hiring team for the office. As PoP referenced above, it was much more about the person than the certification. URS has their own PM certification program that teaches a new PM the URS way, and its pretty good, but the PM has to be able to put it into practical use. PMP helps more with the parctical use part, but I found the best PMs had a good balance of leadership skills, business knowledge, and lastly PM fundamentals.
IMHO, if you have time to get the certification, great, I just wouldn't hang my hat on it being the end all, be all.
