Hi mate.

Nobody can really tell you what you have learned.
We can all quote the syllabus for N+, but what did it do for YOU?

Try writing a list of skills that you have now that would be useful in a work environment.

Post it here if you like and we'll help you refine it.

 

thats pretty much what i come up with so far??? i'mnot much cop at CV's to be honest

 

to be honest i have elarnt so much out of these certs that its really hard to define it in words!!!

 

OK.

The best thing to do is to take a before and after picture.

What did you know before, and how has that changed.

Use the N+ syllabus to help you (from the CompTIA website - or from the study materials you have). Read each point and think, 'can I do that?' Then try and put it into your own words.

What I'm getting at here is that the person reading your CV may or may not know what N+ is.

You need to try and translate it into skills that they may be looking for.

And don't forget that the fact that you have done all this yourself is a skill in itself, and certainly worth a mention!

 

Firstly - Novell's protocol is IPX/SPX

Secondly - you have spelt recognised with an American *ize* which (unless you are an American) makes it look like a copy and paste.

 

It's my opinion that if a company doesn't know what the Network+ certification is, and you've got to explain it to them, you shouldn't be working for them anyway.

 

lol yeah i know its IPX.SPX and the recognised thing is a typo cheerz guys gonna correct now lol

 

yeah i agree with what your saying

i went for a job at a school the other week they wanted a helpdesk tech , network tech , website designer and someone who could help with lessons

they didn't seem to understand that this was several jobs with several different skill sets

 

Well, yes and no. Depends on the size of the company. I would expect someone to do all of that in a small company.

 

Quoted for truth.

I used to do all that IT stuff, and much more back in the UK, as well as be the fleet manager for over 40 company cars and to top it all, the service department manager. The company was very busy, especially my department and there were approx 50 staff - I did IT support for seven years prior to even thinking about getting certified.

Sorry not bragging, just trying to keep it real
