Your opinion pleaseeee

in CCNA & CCENT
I am almost done with my icnd2 studies and planning to take my test in 2 weeks , now , I know that just with my ccna it will be very hard to find a job without previous experience , do you guy suggest me to jump to comptia A+ or a ccna like voice or security or just jump to ccnp ? I am a fast learner and so far I am doing all studies by myself , I will really love to know what you guys think is the best way to go.
Thanks

Me personal I'm going for Microsoft because its everywhere, its only 150 per test and I'm always working with it. alot of companies value Microsoft certs and it shows your not just a networking guy.
my suggestion is look through the the test objective and if you find it interested pick up a few books or go for the voice or sec those also look pretty interesting as well.
I would bother with neither CompTIA (too basic) nor CCNP (pointless without corresponding experience) and focus on getting a good job at this point.

In the mean time, make sure you keep the CCNA knowledge sharp. If you list the CCNA on your resume, you will be asked CCNA questions in an interview.
If you dont know how to move well with Linux.
If you do, skip it, if not, I think knowing Linux is a must for anyone in networking and/or Security (and in systems too).
If you want to be well rounded like others have said, Maybe a couple of MS certs would come handy.
Besides that, after you get your CCNA just go out and find a job. It doesnt matter if it doesnt pay well (hopefully it does), You're in for the experience and learning. Gotta climb that ladder.
Of course, try to land the best job you can.
It's taken a few years but I now have privelidge mode access to most of our clients devices (I work on a service desk), and have permission from the network team to make minor changes and have even been given the opportunity to configure new routers/switches that we are sending out to clients. The pay is not great but the experience is well worth it.
