Re: Cisco Unity Support Specialist
They used to require the MCSE:Messaging as a prerequsite -- but I think they dropped it last year (or the year before) since that was an awfully big prerequisite. I've got the security specialist certifications and voice specialist certification I earned while doing the CCSP and CCVP. I've managed to keep them since I'm… -
Re: Simply Bull****
My buddy doesn't try to one up, but he will say things that are no off base that I just have to stare at him or my phone. He asked about Security+, if I had it, and if I had any materials for it. I told him I got it a few years ago and got rid of the stuff, but asked why he was going for it. He said a job he might get was… -
Re: Tips and motivation needed, please
It is quite possible to study for the CCNA with sims and books. How long it takes really depends on your level of motivation, how well you learn, and how well you retain. It is very introductory material. I went through the Cisco Networking Academy to prepare for my CCNA, which was a year long course, but I passed the CCNA… -
Re: Need Advice
Well to be frank we are in the same situation, baring off some points. I am also a Masters student in information technology. I started off with CCNA, Security+ whicih helped me to get an internship with a big wire less industry. Try getting certifications which no doubt increases ur knowledge but also looks good on ur… -
Re: After security+ what is the next step up?
I definately agree with keatron on this one, go and get up to speed on the types of systems you want to work with. (Well, when dealing with security, there's really no such thing as too much knowledge, so getting up to speed on a lot of things, not just what you want to do, might be a good idea.) I think the advice I got… -
Re: high end certifications without relavent experience.
For a while there it kind of did..... I know I should be proud but I am not. I could have so many more if I had just did them. I could have probably been a CCNP right now and working on CCSP. But you know, such is life. Like this security plus thing. I could have had this cert done months ago but I got very unmotivated… -
Re: Salary Negotiation Tip & Tricks?
Definitely. This isn't 1999 or 2000 when a CCNA was worth a $10k pay bump. When I finally decided to go for my CCNA (as I had planned for it on numerous occasions during a seven year period) and then I passed it, my first step was to add it to my signature as it complemented my MCSE quite well, and that was about it. Heck,… -
Re: College Recommendations Please!
I currently attend Marist College's ITS program which focuses on a broad view of IT from databases, java programing, web programing, linux/unix, zos, project management, and a heavy emphasis on the Cisco track. I have taken an excellent course for CCNA here, a Cisco Wireless course, a CCSP course, and I am currently… -
Re: Career Focus
Hi Paul, thanks for the reply and sorry for my late reply. Hmmm... I believe management is a challenging career to only who like to manage people and things. It is a talent more than an academic study. Unfortunately, i don't have this talent. The second issue, as you said, i will miss hands-on stuff if i stick to a… -
Re: AWS observation from my Company
My organization is heavy AWS (East, West, UK and Australia) while also starting some new applications in Azure. Rackspace is in the mix as well as a couple of other unique smaller cloud apps in other countries. Doubt the cloud is going anywhere anytime soon. Though I have to agree with Azt7 about the bubble thing having…
