Re: What I wish I knew before I took my CISSP exam
Redz. You ask what I am doing to shore up? Now that we are connected, check it out. I volunteer with the CyberPatriot program, funded by the Air Force Association, teaching very young and very smart young men and women InfoSec, where they compete with other teams across the country...currently around 1300. I also provide… -
Re: jobless MCSE
I sat in with my college professor when the school was hiring for lab assistants and some extra staff for the IT department. I had a couple of MCSE's who didn't know what an MMC was, a CCNA that asked "which one's the router?" when he was asked to plug a cable into a router so he could show us that he was able to configure… -
Re: Should I bother with Net+ if I am going to Security Route?
I agree with others that finishing up a degree is important but it doesn't have to be an either/or scenario. The degree will help you more in the long run by opening up more opportunities. Also, you'll typically earn more money than someone else doing the same job when you have a degree. A degree combined with some… -
Re: Applying for Gov't Job with no degree?
Look up the DoD form 8570. Ensure you are meeting those requirements for the specific job function you are hoping to achieve. The good news is you will get preference over other candidates based on your military experience. This is a huge leg up. If you do end up landing the job you will notice that every director and… -
Re: switching careers, hoping to become a Linux/Unix SysAdmin
Don't want to shatter your dreams but you're long way from being a Linux sys admin. That's not a path you can choose to start with, it's something you switch to after years of commercial experience. I'm in the same boat as you are, trying to brake into the world of network/linux administration only I have a degree in IT if… -
Re: New CWNP wireless exam Wireless# (Wireless Sharp)
There isn't much yet said about Wireless# in the forum at http://www.cwne.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=17, but here's my $0.02US: This cert reminds me of the up-coming Convergence+ cert from CompTIA, which is an aggregation of different media communications technologies (e.g., telephone, computer, TV, cable and Internet… -
Re: Need suggestions
Unfortunately in a world ruled by academic credentials it is very difficult to find a job - even with proven hands on experience... You should be getting some more Certs to add to your resume - A+ and a couple of years experience won't "wow" anyone. CompTIA is globally recognized and respected, I would suggest you get a… -
Re: I'm in a Bind 5 years help desk exp but I've been told I don't have enough exp and A+ won't help?
I agree with what @McxRisley said: certifications are an investment in your professional career - they're 100% worth the time and money they cost! Since you already have an A+, maybe the logical next step would be to start working towards the Network+ and then the Security+. That would give you a well-rounded base of… -
Re: How much depth for the A+?
I had used the Mike Meyers All In One book to pass the A+ exam when the latest exam was the 300 series. The level of detail is to help folks understand why you are being tested on a particular topic. Even though I had A+ knowledge prior to taking the exam, I had wanted to get certified in something and Mike Meyers book… -
Re: Does you company invest in training for you?
I work for the government, and I get nothing. Not a single bit of assistance. If you are in a position that is covered under DoDD 8570 and has a requirement for certification, they will pay for your voucher, and then only once. Past that, they neither assist nor care about any other certifications. I was in a position…
