Which type of certification should I get?

I was a desktop engineer worked in a large company for more than 2 years.Since there is a big team for desktop support my job was to coontact with the users inside the company and relocated them as well as install some assets like desktops and monitors. During this period I felt that there is not much to learn doing this job so that I attended a CCNA training and passed the CCNA exam. A few days ago my manager told me that the company do not want to extend my contract so that I need to find another job. Since I did not learn much in my last job, I want to get a certification in order to get a new job. Since I have got a degree of telecommunication, should I go on with my CCNP study or MCSA?Thank you.

I think the degree and CCNA sets you up nicely for an entry-level network position. I'd probably just focus my energy on checking KSA's for tech jobs in my area and try to brush up on whatever technologies they're asking for. I'm not sure how helpful having a CCNP with almost no relevant work experience would be. MCSA sounds like it might compliment some your current skillset, so if I were to pick one, I'd go with that.

I agree with Russ5813, if you're not solely focussed on a networking position, having both the CCNA and MCSA is a really good "Base Level" combo, which should bag you a decent all-rounder position before you potentially brach off and specialise. I think if you got the CCNP, you'd still end up with the same entry level networking job without the necessary experience a senior position requires. What kind of work are you looking for?
