Resume

Hi everyone,
The question I have is does anyone still put there A+ and Network+ cert on there resume when they have Cisco and Microsoft certs when applying for a higher job like an Sr.Engineer?My gut tells me to stick with a few of the higher certs and leave it at that.I just don't want to overdo it on the certs on my resume.

I read this somewhere else in the forums, and most of the experienced players agreed to leave out low-level certs when they already have higher-level certs.

But if I was you, I would include it as there is nothing wrong with bragging about your credentials. Include them as long as there are rooms in your resume, and you want to be confident that the filter captures all your keywords.
