Are you asking if you should earn some certifications?

Well, they never hurt. Since you're fresh from school, exams like the CISSP or some of the lower-level Cisco certifications should be easy for you to get.

However don't sell yourself short....a Master's degree should trump any certification as long as it's a reputable school.

One approach is to be 'working on' or 'pursuing' the relevant certifications....that way the computer that searches thru resumes gets a 'hit' on your resume, and you show initiative.

Most employers just want a good employee, they could care less about certifications, except it makes it easier for them to quickly find candidates.
