No I don't have any certs, I'm working on studying for my network+. That is essentially what I want to do; network administration. I'm really not looking to go down the QA path. It is doable to wait for now.

I just graduated with my BS in IT the other day and had an interview with an IT staffing company. The lady I'm working with has a couple of jobs she wants to put me in for, a QA job and a night help desk job. I don't know much about QA testing, most of what I've read on the net has been bad…...

Gotcha, I understand what you mean. What I meant when I said it's fluff is that it doesn't make my degree look any better by waiting and getting this.

Thanks for clearing that up for me... Now I know not to wait. I didn't think it sounded like much of a big deal especially with the classes that I took to get it (3). I figured this was just some fluff. Yeah working on a real cert will be more worth my time. Thanks. :)

I'm an Information Technology major. I'm due to graduate in December. My school emailed me and told me that I can get a CNSS certificate (4011) for completing a security course and two networking courses. The certificate sounds good but I don't know if it's worth it. I would have to stay in...

Well that's good news. LOL! Really great. As I said before the thing about my resume is it shows no real world knowledge besides my military career. Had a lot emails about those jobs, they offered me a deployment as a SIGINT manager in Afghan… I was a new mom, wasn't looking into doing that at...

Thanks you two for the advice, I'm definitely not giving up. I was told by someone in one of my classes that they are looking more for customer service skills in help desk. I have a lot of that. You're right, interviewing is an art. I actually had a help desk phone interview but for some reason...

I'm under a year from getting my degree in IT from Capella University. Before you snicker I'm gonna say this. Lots of people end up dropping from my classes before they're over, I usually get an A in my classes, had a few B's. These classes are not easy at all. They don't hand over the A...
