What certifications are most networking companies satisfied with?

Question

im am comptia net+ certified and have also got the mcse network certification. should i get anymore?

Answer 1

That depends upon their needs. Certs don't carry the weight that they once did. Experience counts more than anything today. An occasional exception to that would be many of the certs from Cisco. Start out working on your CCNA and take it from there. The CISSP security cert also has value but is a pretty tough course and exam.

Answer 2

Yes. Get some business writing experience. Skill Path seminars offers a business writing course. I took this course a few years ago. Companies value good grammar and spelling skills.

Also, get some real world work experience. There is nothing worse than a paper (person who just read the book) A+, NET+, MCSE.

I actually have to ask people I interview if they are a paper MCSE or if they have actual work experience.

You can get all the certifications in the world, but real world experience is far more important.

Immigration is a National Policy because Canada is a country of immigrants and I'm sure your family is too if you are not a Native Indian or an Inuit. If you don't truly understand what the Immigration Policies are all about, study. Canada is in good economy because of the working class which is all new immigrants. Canada accepts 250,000 to 300,000 new immigrants every year. You sound Un- Canadian, you are far from reality , your comment is so brutal and your point will never be well taken by anyone ( I mean the authorities in power). I personally disagree with you because I work with the Immigration Department.

My experience in Silicon Valley is that certs are just a nice-to-have. You can get to senior spots without them proving yourself on real projects with the actual hardware, budget and requirements of the company. Most companies would rather have you putting all that extra energy into making the company successful than jumping through certification hoops - gaining a pile of knowledge you will likely never use except in your next job interview at another company. It wasn't long ago Cisco required you to study SNA and Appletalk and Netware and DecNet to get their certs. Talk about a steamin' pile of uselessness! They've gotten much more focused on useful stuff.
