If your boss isn’t a charterholder, then he probably doesn’t respect it.
If your company doesn’t employ a lot of charterholders, then they probably won’t value it.
If your city doesn’t have a CFA society, then it’s probably worthless.  And even if it does, it has to have a significant number. (EG - CFA carries more weight in Dallas than in San Antonio, because of the market for CFA Charterholders.)

Also,
If you’re a Level 1 Candidate, then that means ONLY that you can pay $1,000 for a test and are in the last year of school.  Any idiot that can stumble through a liberal arts school with a major in Piano Performance can become a Level 1 Candidate.
If you’re a Level 2 candidate, then that means that you have a very basic, rudimentary knowledge of all the stuff that you should have learned in undergrad.  Passing Level 1 is a very, very small achievement.
If you’re a Level 3 candidate, then that means you’re pretty sharp and fairly dedicated to the exam.  It also shows that you’re pretty well versed in valuation theory.  I would consider passing Level 2 to be a fairly significant achievement.
In any case, I would only tell your boss (or put it on your resume) if you’ve continued to make progress.  If you passed Level 2 eight years ago, the first question I would wonder is, “Why haven’t they finished Level 3?  Are they not capable?  Are they too lazy?  Did they lose focus?”
