Surprisngly the black interviewers I had in my experience had the :mjpls: vibe, but after getting the jobs there were normal dudes for the most part.

First interview is always quick run through of resume to confirm experience and a few personality questions.

Final interview is usually cultural fit.

Anything in between is usually the position related stuff

Why aren't you going the server route?
Class im taking will give me an auto 2 grade bump if I get it during the semester, and looking over it it looks easy to knock out

From what I've been told it's just voice. You know that can always change once you get in .
True, good luck. Soak up the exp but if it were me I wouldn't get immersed in voice. Id be trying to branch off into something that's gonna give you flexibility like networking or systems side. UCS is a very small niche and all it takes is 1 decision or another vendor like Avaya offering major savings and you could be priced out of a job. Get that bag while u there tho breh :salute:

Taking the A+ 901 tomorrow. Feeling kinda bombarded by the sheer amount of potential questions and trying to memorize answers for it all. Does anyone know of any questions that will specifically be on the test? I know they all differ but, do I really need to know SD DDR3 has 240 pins? or for that matter ALL the pin numbers of every single type of memory? Any tips?
