I see you already have a collection... CISSP is the most desired, I
think, but has a "three years of security experience" requirement. I
don't know if they actually check for this experience or not.

Without the experience, I'm guessing the SANS certifications like
GIAC, etc are the best bet. Security+ is also out there, but is seen
as the most basic of the three.
