Should I put it on my resume?
I have to get this certification through WGU in the next couple months. Should I put it on a resume even though it doesn't really pertain to IT? I ask because it kind of makes CompTIA seem like really easy tests (which they are, I know) when they see 4 of them on a resume and only 1 or 2 Microsoft/Cisco. Would I be better off just putting my A+ N+ and S+? Thanks for your input.

I would, project management skills are in demand. -

Well, none of the study material I've read pertains to it really. The skills may be in demand but I don't want to have the any project manager duties... -

You've answered your own question. If you don't want to do project management work, or be considered for work that involves it, don't put it on your resume. -

Okay, just wanted to hear it from someone else instead of myself I guess. Thanks for your reply. -

How do you know you'll have the project manager duties? This certification could open opportunities for you (like other certifications) if you're stuck somewhere.Booya!!

I would say that if anything, it can open up team lead opportunities for you, since you obviously would know the importance of communication and other leadership fundamentals. Also, in Security+ you probably read about risk management which is a big deal in project management.(CCNP: Switch) Passed!
