IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[Redguard]

This is what I'm gonna use:


1.

Spoiler: Exam Cram Network+ N10-007 ebook:

CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Exam Cram - Emmett Dulaney.epub | openload

2. Professer Messer is currently putting out his N10-007 video course on YouTube, so I'm gonna start out with those videos: CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Training Course - YouTube

3. Whenever CBT Nuggets' N10-007 video course leaks on pirate sites or torrents later this month, I plan on downloading it.

4. I bought this Network+ N10-007 Hands-on Lab Sim for $30 from Pearson Vue's online store: http://www.pearsonitcertification.com/store/comptia-network-plus-n10-007-hands-on-lab-simulator-9780789759573

5. I'm also waiting for the PDF for Professer Messer's N10-007 course notes to leak on pirate sites or torrents.

Thanks for the info. I took the N10-006 in February and failed by 20 points. Hopefully the N10-007 will be a bit easier.

The complete disconnect at that company between HR and IT. And they have no idea my colleague is about to leave

Was it stressful ?

that shyt was easy asl, mostly just reset passwords, edited/moved/deleted users printers and computers in Active Directory, created powershell scripts etc...

junior system admin is basically entry level shyt.

Came to the realization that marking my race on Indeed apps has led to discrimination.

I'm talking jobs where I'm overqualified; the only correspondence is a rejection email.

I dont check gender or race anymore. If race mattered you would be applying for a diversity role you were recruited in advance for.

These merit increases aint gonna cut it
