Need help choosing certification!

mangiacapra

Hi all,

I'm new here, I'll be graduating with IT in coming april. I have MCSE and I wish to take another certification which would give an advantage in seeking for a job.
My interest in career is network administration part, not network engineer but i just want to take more certification as advantage.
Shall i go for CCNA ?
What would you guys recommend me to take ?

I would go for MCITP:EA. It's an upgrade to your MSCE. If you all ready have vista, it should only require two exams.

As stated, MCITP:EA is a logical step to take. Remember to also diversify in vendors; work towards a CCNA at some point. Also get ITIL on your resume. It's fairly easy and recruiters seem to love it.

Security based certs can help. ITIL is worth looking into, and if you have the money to spend on the course, consider a VMware certification.

It depends on what you want to do. IF you want to be a sysadmin go for MCITP:EA or EMA or even EST.

If you want to branch out into linux, you could try Linux+ or LPIC-1

If you want to get into storage and virtualization go for SCSP and VCP.

If you want to "round" your resume with some networking certs go for CCENT/CCNA maybe even CCNA:security

Security+ is also a good one.
