I need some feedback in regards to the next step in my career. I have over 3 years of work experience in IT; 2 years in help desk and 1 year in level 2 application support. I have an associates degree in computer systems and have earned the A+ certification. A Network Administrator position opened up in our department and I was basically told I’m not qualified for the position. Naturally I was very upset because I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this and my own employer won’t give me a chance. I’m ready to move on to a position with more responsibility and a higher salary but I never seem to get calls back from other employers. I want pursue a certification that will help me stand out and I have my eye on the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. I don’t have much experience with Cisco networking equipment so I’m not sure how I’d do on Cisco certifications. Also, it seems ilke a lot of employers recognize Microsoft certs over CompTIA. Any feedback?
