The Theory of Cisco Useful versus Worthless
According to the actual market demand for IT
professionals of recent years, access to several top-notch technology,
IT certification, for IT personnel in pay, benefits, job and so the
impact is still very important, so choose a lT industry's leading
certification training indeed lead people benefit. The previously hot Cisco
certification is a good example. At that time some IT professionals
made the first step, they got the technology upgrading through the
certification, and they obtained considerable economic returns. Those
people who accepted Cisco-certification latter all dreamed of
high-paying and high-level jobs, Cisco immediately become a hit
technology certification in the recruitment market. Until today, Cisco
remains among the most popular certificates. Say a software programer
with certain experience, if he has enough money and time at present, he
want to gget a certification for better development. Which
certification should he choose? Others or Cisco, perhaps Cisco is more
suitable for him than Cisco certification. Why? Take Others certificate as an example, every certificate has two layers of value. One
is knowlege value. In the process of acquiring the certification, one
can improve his/her knowledge practically, and apply the knowledge into
practice, thus further strenghthening one's experience, which is
improving individual productivity in a word. Second layer of value lies
in is its reputation. Certification is a relatively equal assessment
for one’s technique ability. The acquisition of certain certificate
means the mastery of certain skill. What is going on now is most
people only focus on the reputation and ignore the value of knowledge.
They see it as a ticket to open a door, believing that a certificate
can help them obtain a salary at a certain level or enter a company or
something. Such thoughts and relevant behaviors directly lead to the
devaluation of the certificate. Of course, during a certain period, the
acquisition of such a certificate can offer you quick economic returns.
But such situation only happens with specific conditions, such as
special policies by the manufacturers and the rarity of certificate.
Confrontation between these conditions do not exist for the majority of
certification, and it is a goodly portion of luck. You tend to be
disappointed if you expect short-term economic returns by certification
exam. Many top technical certificates are once for all, such as Cisco 642-975, its contents will renew continuously with the development of technology, there is also the process of changing certificate. That
is people who own original Cisco certificate must accept subsequent
training every two or three years, including class study, the most
up-to-date technique display or attending corresponding technique study
group for a period of time, in order to make sure the validity of
technical certifiication. Otherwise, these "gold-made" certificates are
just a piece of waste paper. Certificate holders now demands a
"composite certification", if you hold more than one authentication
certificates, such as holding both Cisco and Others certification
certificates, then your competitive advantage is obvious. But you
should first figure out what technology you like and what technology
you're good at, if you neither like nor are good at it, then do not
force yourself. Since most of the top technology certification
are high-end technology, apart from training, need for several years of
professional work experience, and they have the difficult itself.
According to survey, after one got some certificate the salary may
improve in some certain degree: If the adoption of Cisco Others
certification, the salary is on average increased by 40% -50%; if
adopted Cisco Others certification, the salary is on average increased
by 40% - 60%.
