Hi there

Looks like I will be out of a job on Monday with months notice

I hope to have MCSA mid May and will either do MCSE or CCNA then-any thoughts?

Also I was wondering know a friend who is sys admin would it be advantagious to do some work experience with him until I get something else?

Thanks
Noel

 

If I was in your position I would make the most at the current job by doing safe 'experiments' and testing which compliment your learning based on the exam syllabus. Then when you leave, obviously working alongside your mate as a net admin is going to be advantageous. I'd work for free if they're not willing to pay, just so that you can get some decent on-the-job experience which can aid your studies and knowledge.

 

Thanks for all the replies

How much work experience would I need to do to have it count on a cv?

Thanks
Noel

 

Depends what type of job you're going for. If you're to have an MCSA cert then I would suggest around 2 years in a 2003 AD based role?
That's what I'm going for anyway before I apply for a new job. Only a few more months to go and I'll have around 2.5 years experience in a support based role, totalling from 2 jobs. I'm planning on staying at this job for 2 years though to show that I am committed to a job and don't just get up and hop when I feel like a change. I feel as though if I stay any longer in a support role, I'll be going down a path which I don't really want to go.
