Hi and welcome to CF.

Best advice i can give you is this. Forget the MCSE, start with CompTIA's A+ and then move on to the N+

Following those, you could consider the Microsoft MCDST.

The above are all entry level certs, and will stand to in good stead as a solid foundation to build your knowledge on.

The MCSE is a higher level certification, aimed at people that are already in the IT industry and with a ton of experience. It can actually adversely affect your chances of landing an entry level job, as you will be seen as overqualified.

 

Blue's advice is solid.

Welcome to the forums!

 

Thanks guys,

Aparrently I have been working in IT for over 5 years now but then did not have any certifications since my organisation (which i joined staright from University and grew through the ranks) didnt not lay emphasis on certifications but on experience.

Since I came to the UK,i have not been able to get a job and was advised to get a certification since my expereince has been microsoft related. I then decided to start from teh scratch, ie MCDST.


What do you guys think and advise?
