Akinpelu Adeleke - "I was satisfied with all issues discussed, especially the last part. It was Informative and it has widened my perspective of the I.T industry".
-
Tech support is often the place to start for the beginner because of opportunities for work experience. It is the most obvious career choice for the A+ certified professional. If tech support meets your career needs, go for it, as a permanent career in tech support can be both financially and professionally rewarding.
-
But Tech Support can be used as a stepping-stone to other areas of IT. The first Web Developer of Jidaw.com started out in Tech support before venturing into Networking, Programming and Web development. He now provides Web services on a global scale.
-
Inspite of the huge and steady demand, knowledge and experience rules the Networking industry, due to the extreme amount of competition currently out there.
-
Most network admins work their way up through a technical support position. However, some are still able to find an entry-level position as a junior admin.
-
The dynamic nature of the Networking world (the mother of the Internet) is obvious for all to see. In the huge multi-vendor world of network systems, products and manufacturers, industry trends point to even more growth and developments.
All these benefits will only come to you if you can make your certification effective. This starts with having the right attitude towards certification. Certification is a tool not a magic wand.
IT
certification is NOT A "CURE-ALL". Your
Certification will have no value if you can't perform and learn on the
job.
What is your value? Let
people see value in you NOT cost!
An
IT Career is
about demonstrating that you are a knowledgeable professional. To get
real value from certification you need
to avoid the top 5 certification
mistakes: 1) Choosing a certification
because it is hot, 2) Underestimating the real cost of certification. 3)
Lack of Self development after getting certified 4) Poor preparations 5)
Unrealistic expectations
Furthermore, how do you package yourself and your certification? Certification should be used to market your abilities and your value using soft skills. Most importantly, to get real long term value from certification you must have a career focus. Learn more about having a career focus, soft skills and other related issues here.

Cisco's globally recognized certifications certify
the competence of Internetworking professionals in the areas of routing,
switching and connectivity. And CCNA is the first step in this route.
The significance of CCNA isn't just because it is the first step for
Cisco certification, but it is in addition proof of a solid foundation
in networking. It is a prerequisite for higher level Cisco
certifications such as CCNP, CCDP, and CCSP
certifications, and recommended for CCIP certification.
