Registered for ICND2

Hey guys,

I registered for the ICND2; I'm taking it next Friday, the 31st, at 12 EST. I like to throw this kind of stuff up there so I can motivate myself even more and share my experiences with people who are thinking about going on the Cisco track.

I passed the ICND1 in March and have been studying for the ICND2 since then. I've got the knowledge down to where I'm passing most of the practice exams in the high 80's. These are Boson exams mind you so I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm currently going over configuration and tightening up spots that I'm weak in (Frame Relay, STP are the two big ones.)

One thing about the CCNA exams is that they really make you prove you know the stuff, which is very beneficial to people who are thinking about taking the exams. You come out of the testing center knowing that they didn't try and trick you.

The last thing I have for anybody is that, and I'm not alone on this, Cisco is a very tiring study track. There were weeks where I would put the book down and not even look at it during the ICND1. There were a few times I did that with ICND2 but it wasn't as long. Just keep your head up and you'll do fine.

Hopefully I can say the same thing for myself!

Thanks for all the congrats everyone. Do you guys have any advice on how to market this on my resume? The only hands-on experience is lab based so that's a disadvantage. But will putting my score on there reinforce my knowledge of the subject? Or is putting the score on there not needed? Any help would be appreciated.

Start your resume with the things you have going for you. If your CCNA is the crown jewel on your resume, then you should list education first, and then go on to something like work experience. Try and tie things that you may have done in previous jobs to the job you are going after – emphasize things like team work, attention to detail, etc... if that’s all you have.

I wouldn't put your score, but that's me.

Labs is actually expierence. I would put education first and then expierence. Congrads on pas btw.
