Study, study, study
I've come up with another reason why I'm not posting very much: I'm studying.
The bad thing about my resume is that I have no industry qualifications. I've been hired and then tossed into the deep end of the pool and expected to sink or swim. That's not the problem, I always float to the top.
But I want to get back into Information Technology, and I want to make sure I'll get a job that's in demand. So, I'm studying for a couple of tests.
First of all, is the A+ test. This is one that I already know most everything about, and this test should be easy. It's just what an average tech with 6 months experience under his belt should know. This one I'm not really worried about. If I get it, that's great, if I (unlikely) fail it, it's not the end of the world.
The one that I really want is the CCNA, or Cisco Certified Network Associate. This one works with routers and networks, and will open a lot of doors for me. This test will be the ball buster.
Another problem is that the cost of both of these tests are over $100, and that is the problem. I don't really have that kind of cash to spare. I'm almost ready to take the A+ exam, and I could certainly use some donations. Please click the PayPal button to the right and donate some cash. $10 would go a long way in my world.
I just received a $200 gift certificate to Amazon, and it was gone within the hour. I ordered some router simulation software, and several other books that should help my studying. I have the tools, I just don't have the money to take the test.
Thanks for any help.
