Use this code to get programs for 10$ UDMY10ALL

Loaded up on 10 programs from ccnp, powershell, Windows administration and hacking

Just got my CCNA.
Right before the version I was studying for was retired too

Now that that's done, It's time to start looking for a new job, this help desk life is not for me.
I'm not gonna worry about any more certs for now, not unless I get selected for that CCNA Cyber Security scholarship. Instead I'll be focusing on learning Python. I copped a beginners course during that $10 sale udemy was having last month. Hopefully I'll be able to confidently put that on my resume by this time next year.

Thanks. And yes I'm trying to get into network security, something like monitoring ips's and/or configuring access lists/firewalls. I would love for my next job to be security focused but I don't see many openings where I live. Plus, my lack of experience isn't doing me any favors. I only have one year of tier 1 support under my belt at this point.

I'm on the fence about my current job even though I've only been there for six months. I saw some good looking listings on Indeed. So I check salary info on Glassdoor and these jobs are paying 15k more.

Let me share with you some knowledge that took me years to fully understand. Never get comfortable at a job always look to move up either in the company or elsewhere

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I'm taking anbintro to networking class for the ccent

First day on like this is some bullshyt

Teacher is wasting time talking to students about dumb side computer bullshyt

tests are online and I figure I'll be doing most most of the studying myself

I'm going to just go and order a ccent/CCNA study book I saw on Amazon and finish the class so I can get a job connect

How long should it take me to study to pass the CCNA?

For my contractor guys is it normal for a recruiter to ask for DOB and last 4 of SS#?

It wasn't the first time a recruiter asked for it so I'm guessing its the norm for these positions, but it just seems . Like I havent even interviewed yet breh

I told him straight up "I dont feel comfortable giving you that "

Everything about the company and job checks out but idk

It ain't the whole social, so what's the problem?

It ain't the whole social, so what's the problem?

Just seems odd to ask for that when I havent even interviewed for anything

Told me bigger companies do it so they can make sure there are no duplicate appplications from the same people

You would think there was a better way
