unless you know someone in the field or are already in the field. Everyone wants microsoft, citrix, vmware or comptia certs. Just check online job boards.

Optionscyberguypr Mod Posts: 6,928 ModIt is a pretty bold statement to say that a major vendor certification is useless in a major city. Just doesn't make any sense.

I think its a combination of my resume, and Certs, and softskills.
The Certs and Resume get me the call. My softskills and technical skills get me to job.Currently Reading

Most sweeping, blanket statements are often incorrect. Kind of ironic if you think about it...
