Just got a Mid-level job, still have NO certs

I am happy to say I just got offered a job.
A few months ago I got my first IT job with no certifications
http://www.techexams.net/forums/general-certification/83783-just-got-my-first-job-i-dont-have-any-certs.html

I am working two jobs at the moment, 1 IT and 1 restaurant job.
This new job will pay more than both of the other two combined.
I am pretty excited about it, but also nervous about it too.

The position is a Network Tech Lvl 1 spot for a Casino in Las Vegas.

I will still be studying for my certs, but I just had to announce the good news somewhere.

I only have an AS in Information Tech. But I am a 3rd year student at the University here.

nice to see another local. i mustve applied for 5 or so before getting a call back.
i had an interview for another casino and they told me i did not have enough experience.

No offense but your resume needs a lot of work, I would completely redo it before you apply for your next job.
