You may have noticed that there is a CCNA Cisco
Certified logo on the front of our site. Well I passed
the CCNA and I am now certified. I am looking at other
certifications as well, like JNCIA, Linux+ or Unix
cert, CWNA, and MCSA. I have experience in all of those
areas, so I figured I will show it and get the certs so
I have a sheet of paper that tells everyone that I can
take a test.
<<rant>> I think that a person should be judged on their knowledge not on a test and a piece of paper. I know of several CCIE's (Cisco's highest cert) that cannot configure a router or really understand how a network works. I was also passed up for a job because I did not have a college education. Now this is after I spent 1 hour playing stump the chump (Technicial verbal test) and only fumbled on 3 questions. The feed back that I received was that I: "passed with flying colors", "Aced the interview", etc. So if I know the material better than most people, clearly qualified to do the job, and have 11 years experience with everything they do; what is college going to do to improve my chances of getting this job? Nothing! All that college would do is to spend my money, and give me a sheet of paper to say that I passed. That is it. <</rant>>
Well I am going to get ready for another interview. See ya later.
