Re: First day of class a bit overwhelming
+1 I agree, almost every college class I took was overwhelming at first. I have two tips for you… 1. Find instructors you like and as many classes with them that you can. I did this in school and it worked great, because I knew their teaching styles and expectations. 2. Read the syllabus and memorize if you can. I can’t… -
Re: What qualifications do you need to be a sys admin?
Myself and a few other systems admins I know followed the typical route, which included: 1. Previous experience (2-4 years) as a tech either on a help desk or other support position. 2. Some certifications (anywhere form MCP to MCSE to Cisco or CompTIA - it varied). 3. Show personal aptitude, drive, ambition, and a… -
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: Prometric or Vue
i booked my a+ through prometric and did my exams in lush test centres. free coffee or water, magazines in the waiting area, blah blah. they were also the kind of places to go if you had a few grand burning a whole in your pocket (or your employer's pocket) if you wanted non-residential i.t. training on certified and… -
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: Realistic skill set for a Systems Administrator
-Never heard of Dameware. -General Certifications speak for themselves. The CompTIA's that you have are good, but adding a Microsoft and/or Cisco makes you more marketable. -Routing and remote access - Would guess you could get familiar with how to use it/set it up (RRAS). VPN's/Firewalls are good to know as well.… -
Re: Breaking into IT?
i would suggest that you start off by applying for any helpdesk positions or computer technician just to get your feet wet (even if it means wotking for little or nothing), but never give up applying jobs in IT regardless of what their "required experience" you must have. at the same time you should definitely start your… -
Re: Passed this morning
[quote="Kuifman I am studying for the exam any tips. Where can i find some practice exams or previous exams.[/quote] I really do not know where to get the new material, but I can tell you the material I had purchased did not prepare me for the test. I purchased the Sybex Comptia Network + Certification Kit which included a… -
Re: A+ down like the NASDAQ
For the practice exams, I used the ones on the Meyers book, the Sybex book, Tech Exams book, and the software from Boson site. I also used the two tests on this site- CompTIA A+ Practical Application (2009 Objectives) assessment tests which was way harder then any of the other tests both practice and the actual tests… -
Re: MCSA vs. Experience
Me personally. I'd go for the better job. See I had the exact same dilemma about 2 years ago. I was studying for the MCSA before the CompTIA Trifecta and I wasn't ready for it however the reading prepared me for a much more important aspect of system administration, sys admin soft-skills. See now I'm 2 years later I'm now…
