Hello everyone
No doubt this question has been asked a number of times, but I could really appreciate some insight from people who have been there.
I am a professional technician who, like many others, has found myself unemployed after years of working. I have an opportunity, thanks to the local unemployment department, to take a Microsoft eLearning course at no charge. I have a pretty good working
knowledge of computers and computer software; I build and repair photo/video workstations and small business systems on a freelance basis but am looking to improve my chances to get an IT support job.
My question is; with one free pass, where should I start? I'd like to learn more about Windows Servers; what would be a good way to go for some kind of Microsoft certification or just to learn more about it? I was looking at the Configuring Windows Server
2008 Active Directory(Exam 70-640) to burn the free ticket on, some kind of Windows 7 and A+ certification.
Once I get my hands on stuff, I can figure it out, but I feel like I need some credentials to get my foot in the door.
Any and all advice and insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks-Ron B
