You would probably be better off looking into doing the Network+ and then maybe the windows 7 upgrade exam. You can do both cheaply with self-study. These are more appropriate for someone starting out in an IT career than the MCSE.

 

The MCSE is designed for techs who already have a year of experience administering servers... not for people who are looking to get into IT. I agree with Gosh; if you want to get more certifications, you should pursue Network+. Better yet, you should stop worrying about getting more certifications and focus full-time on getting your first IT job.

 

the thing is i have been looking for a job for ages, mainly around London and Essex

I was just thinking about another qualification so there is more chance for me getting into a job

 

The reason people are steering you away from the MCSE at this point, is that it is an advanced cert that will make you over qualified for entry level jobs. As entry level jobs are the first rung of the IT ladder, regardless of certifications / qualifications, you really don't need any more than you already have in your cert arsenal. If you really want another cert, add another *entry level* one. As suggested, the CompTIA N+

Good luck and just keep applying, it's not an easy job market at the moment, so you need to work full time at looking for a job.
