we\'re getting something from mm, i know plenty of people that work in the "field" that say otherwise.. Who would u believe, personal mates or a dood on the net that can talk any bullshit he wants?

sigh, again. I\'m not paying for the cert, its free. Would u turn down a free cert? i doubt it.

Maybe the path you walked was crappy, but it wasn\'t for many of my mates. It\'s also personal experience.

Have A+, and can\'t say it has ever helped me. If anything it is a nuisance. Dont put it on my resumes at this point either.

Suppose it is a good intro to the certification process.

coloring inside the lines is a better entry to the cert process

I got my A.A.S in computer programming. I was going to take the A+ test about 1yr 1/2 ago. But found out like MM is saying there really was no need to take it. And I could have taken it for free.

I mean if you just wanna have something on your resume then I say go for it. From what I hear the test is based on how many question you answer in the amount of time.

See MM I was on your side and brought my homies with me...

BTW in todays age and if you want to go where the jobs are have the initials I have at this point I can pretty much right my ticket..

So who wins?

« **Reply #42 on:** February 08, 2005, 02:53:31 PM »

Simple answer: just browse hotjobs or monster.com for the job you\'re looking for and see if they list A+ cert as one of the requirements.

Did it, Got 4 jobs. All pretty much techy jobs

In Australia you get pretty much asked at every IT interview what certs you have. My brother has been turned down for tech jobs because he\'s over qualified. So that’s the main reason i\'m not going into MCSE or CCNA. I just want a tech job for a little while then go to school. Computers aren\'t my career choice, electronics is. Although I’ve just been employed, its not a tech job. :/
I\'m sure if u aim hire then techy jobs the A+ cert is useless. From the mates i know and their own experience, to get a tech job that’s the only cert you need.

bro, a "tech job" and being an IT professional are totally different animals.

the first three jobs in that link flat out suck. i wouldnt recommend them to high school students that went to vo-tech.
the 4th could have potential depending on salary.

so yeah, if you want a bullshit "tech job" replacing broken mice, dirty keyboards, and walking people thru installing AOL, then go right ahead.

A+ rocks for you and your low expectations.

now, if you want any kind of "admin" or "IT management" position, skip A+ and go right for the big hitters.
