wow very young to be qualified, how was the exam for u?

 

G'day and welcome to CF

 

Hi Welcome

Just don't become too over qualified so young as being over qualified can make it harder to get a job.

 

Not that bad to be honest, 601 (essentials) nearly got me though lol got 675/900... just on the past mark

 

A pass is a pass. Well done

 

Thank you

 

Hi and welcome to CF

 

Hi & welcome to CF

Congrats on the pass and good luck with the N+.

NB

 

I have never heard so much bollox in my life!!!

 

Hello and welcome to CF!

 

Congrats, and welcome!

You've really got it in for GBL, dont you?

 

he just likes an argument that's all, I'm still waiting for him to tell me where my comments weren't constructive in the TP thread.

 

All I want is for you guys to be a bit more positive.

There are many new members who join thess forums who are looking for advice. If your suggestions to them are more positive, they may stay around a bit longer.

Thats All

MrM

 

It's not really about being positive, it's about pointing people in the correct direction. Being over qualified can hurt your job prospects.

This is a bit out the way but bare with me, I am advanced driver and I work at a place where there are a few young people who have passed their driving tests and are getting their first cars. Am I wrong to tell them not to buy super duper fast cars as they'll most likely kill themselves or not, one of them was driving her dads car the other day which happens to be a BMW M3, these cars are really dangerous especially for a new driver as they are super quick was I wrong to say she shouldn't be driving it?

The point is going in too deep can have bad consequences and I don't want anyone to suffer those consequences, the same is for someone who becomes super qualified with no experience.

 

Perhaps you would care to explain your comment rather than just attack him? Not exactly contructive is it?

Well done Benjamin and welcome to CF. No harm in starting on the certification track young, certainly with entry level certs like the A+ & N+. I happen to agree with GBL though, if you do too many too soon without experience to back them up then it could hurt your employment chances rather than help them.

 

STOP PRESS

Lets all stop studying and forget the IT Sector.

People study to gain qualifications to improve their career, if the young chap stops studying now as he might get 'over qualified' where do you think he career will end up.

I have been always had a positive outlook on life. Gain as many quals as you can and keep upgrading them, it shows then you want to better your career.

Have some have you wondered why you careers have not moved forward?

I am sorry if you guys disagree with me, but these are my thoughts and are from personal experiences.

 

have a look at Kens cert list and what he does, he seems to moving along nicely, you seem very bitter to me. Maybe you realised about self study when you came here and thought you wasted all your money twisted: That was a joke dude.
