Re: Certs without degree
In short yes, but your options will be smaller then if you had a degree. Some may disagree but I'll share my thoughts....Some companies require a degree. Either HR might not know what they are looking at cert wise or the company has a plethora of resumes when they post a position because everyone wants to work their or… -
Re: SOC what do I need to learn?
I don't think managed security services is market I can foresee myself sticking around for as you're constantly stuck in a position unless you quit to move on. Today we were told that they don't advance anyone until after 18 to 26 months. I came from a desktop/datacenter/ analyst roll where I was constantly groomed for… -
Re: C.V/Resume review please
Multiple issues - Extremely inconsistent capitalization: "Comptia", "installing ghost images", "The Building and configuration", "XP and server 2008", and many others - "customer facing" and "trouble shooting" need to be fixed. Always spell and grammar check - The boxes are driving me crazy. Not digging the format Now, my… -
Re: Lost and Directionless...
I don't see ANY reason to take the Network+. Here is what I would suggest since you are interested networking and security. Do the CCNA either by doing the CCENT + ICND2 or direct CCNA. I think the Network+ is a complete waste. The CCENT and CCNA are really not THAT hard. Yes you may give up six months of your life, but… -
Re: MCITP question
Comment by Claymoore · · Home› Certification Preparation› Microsoft› MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 GeneralUmm, what? There is no requirement for Exchange, SQL or ISA in the MCSE 2003 track. You can choose almost anything as an elective - even CompTIA exams - and if you chose Vista or Windows 7 you would only learn 'windows networking systems'. By no means does an MCSE know more about Windows than an MCITP EA. The MCITP was… -
Re: Cisco Network Academy: About?
Thats kind of the vibe I get from it, for it reminds me normal school books rather than a self study cert book. Its rather funny, but I spent pretty much all this past summer reading certification books while racking up on my CompTIA certs. Now during my last semester in school when I read a standard text books for my… -
Re: Trying to get back into IT...
First off, welcome to TE! The A+, at least around these parts, would get you into either a PC technician (break/fix role) or a tier I desktop support job. After the A+, you may want to try for the CompTIA triad to round out your skills and knowledge base (Net+ and Sec+). These exams will no longer have a lifetime shelf… -
Re: in desperate need for advice
It probably wouldn't be bad to obtain either CompTIA certs as well (A+, Net+, Security+). Yes, you should upgrade in my opinion, since your credential is very aged. You could also try and get MCSA for Win7? I also agree that you should actually find out what you want to do long term and move towards that, find out what the… -
Re: and so I begin...
Good luck on your studies, I just recently picked up Amazon.com: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide: Exam N10-004 (9780470427477): Todd Lammle: Books: Reviews, Prices & more It is offered as a class at my college too, but I felt like 16 weeks for this would be overkill (I already know most of the exam objectives pretty well,… -
Re: Newbie asking for abit of career advice
What is so baffling about that? I started working at Comcast, did it for five months. The Tier 1 help desk position I interviewed for after that liked that I knew how to speak to end users on the phone. I worked my ass off on that contract for 10 months and got promoted to Tier 2. Six months later, I filled out 63…
