RE: how do i start working??

I think that I good undertstanding of routing and switching is a good start.
So CCNA would be a good choice. Also I would recommend taking the MCSA/MCSE
or Linux Cert, in order to have skills to admin a server. I hope this helps.

Asunto: Re: how do i start working??

anyway, life has now well past the security + certs now... so not bothered
of it anymore.. Am now just trying to get my "homework"
right....... i have setup a small network at my home... am trying out
various configurations on it.... am also getting small works like to
configure routers for a startup company....

Big certs like Cissp can wait till i atleast get a 4 yr exp in industry..
who knows, if i fare well maybe my employer would pay for it. But i am
seriously looking to get "starting" certs to get me started with a
company... any takers??.... can someone give me a clue as to what certs i
must be aiming for??.. i want the absolute minimum necessary to enter into
the sys admin dept..

thanks
joel.

Hehe, the exam is scored on a scale, I believe 100-900 with 900 being a
perfect score. So 12 points may translate to just missing one question of x
amount of weight. I think you need what translates to an 80% to pass, but
anyone really curious should check the CompTia site for the specifics.

Security+ requires a 97 to pass??!
