Re: Which practice test is most similar to questions on the CISSP?
Realize that most CISSP practice exams are not trying to simulate actual CISSP exam questions, but are instead trying to teach the CISSP CBK material using an exam format. Most of these "practice exams" have CompTIA-style questions, which is the format of only the easiest questions on the CISSP (and SSCP) exam. The… -
Re: Could this non-IT job help me at all in the future?
If you don't mind me asking, where are you located? The reason I asked is because the first IT job I got, I was going in to interview for a call center job calling doctor's offices to request medical charts and the owner liked my interest in computers and put me to work doing IT work instead. I'm curious if it's the same… -
Re: What path should I take? Help/advice needed
I recommend you finish studying for the A+ and pass both exams. Then you can add that cert to your resume which will help you land an entry-level helpdesk or support position. Then look into taking the Server+ (never expires) and possibly the Network+. If you want to focus on working with Windows OS and server… -
Re: Trying to find a job when you have Tattoos
Thanks guys, I am thinking about getting half sleeves sometime as I have two that could easily be made into sleeves. I just hope it wont one day destroy my chances of getting an IT job. I am currently going to college to pursue a degree in the field and I do not have even an entry-level position yet. I would love to get an… -
Re: Has anyone else come across this on a job board site
Oh great. I scored a 1015 on the A+ OS exam. Do I now have to lie and say I scored 950 if I'm asked? The scores aren't on CompTIA's web site, so they'd have to take my word for it. I have actually failed employment tests because I scored too high on the written math and/or aptitude exams (for electro-mechanical… -
Re: Comparison: Emmett Dulaney's Book vs. Darril Gibson's Book
Hi Sponx, assuming you are talking about DG's Secuirty+ book? I have heard that Emmett Dulaney's books does not explain topics and concepts as well as Darril does. That point alone is a one very good reason to use Daril Gibson's book. By all means use other study material, but I would say to make Darril's book your main… -
Re: I'm glad I found this site here is my story I want to get into IT
They were $1800 a pop, but this was a few years back. I think upwards of $3000 is standard now, but do not quote me on that. In fact, I was in talks with a new horizon consultant 2 weeks ago after responding to a job posting they had on a site. Turns out it was a misleading ad and they wanted $19000 for a course where they… -
Re: New CCNA. Where do I go from here?
CCNA --> A+ That's like getting your CCNA after you passed the CCIE exams... CCNA and A+ are two completely different topics, and on a completely different level. Do you want to be a networker or a PC technician? Assuming you want to work in the networking field, you could go with either more Cisco certs (i.e. CCDA, CCNP,… -
Re: How can I get experience, I'm 16.
Hey Hi.. :) A+, Network+ and Security+ are all great certs. You probably know that if you get those certs before Jan 01, 2011 they will be good for life. CompTIA is putting a 3 month expiration date on them after Dec 31 2010 because of ANSI requirements. A retail tech bench like BestBuy, ECT.. is great to get your foot in… -
Re: Advice on re certifying in A+ or something else like N+ or Win7...
Don't do your A+. Since you got it in 2007, it's good for life. If you recert the A+, you'll have to keep up w/ it. If you want to check out the new objectives, maybe get a recent coy of the A+ Exam Cram and leaf thru it. Or better yet. maybe a book like: Upgrading and Repairing PCs (21st Edition): Scott Mueller:…
