I've done restaurant support for roughly 5 years. It consisted of installs, software, hardware, and network support over the phone and on site. I also supported our office that ran a few Windows Servers. I don't have much experience with Server though. I had to learn the stuff as I needed it.

I'll PM you my resume.

I have:
Bachelors in Management Informational Systems
Minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering
A+

Working on:
CCNA - have by the end of the year
MCSA - 1/2 done, the classes were delayed for some reason, probably to save my sanity
Network+ (yeah its easy and worthless but its something on the resume and I should of got this done with my A+)
Security+ - another easy one I should of done a while ago

So yes I know how time flies, you always have work pop up and disrupt all things Cisco is where the money is at, and its actually semi challenging so I'm not usually bored during my labs. I was thinking about getting the unix/linux admin stuff to but j christ I need to do 1 at a time hahaha.

I figure if I become a cisco engineer I can take over the internet...and who doesnt want to rule the internet?! ahhaha

My ccna prof has a ccna and ccnp and makes a pretty good salary so yeah work on that ccnp. The cool thing is most cisco certs can be your "renewal" which makes you keep learning which is good for work but ruins your free time if all you do is study

how was the ccna test? did you take it at once or break it up?

cuda I got your present IN hand!! hahhaha

Yep.

I took the CCNA all at once. I failed the first time I took it by a question or two. Studied for another week, took it again and did much better

It's not an easy one.

I have all the books for the CCNA and CCNP. I took a 5 day cram course at New Horizons though the week I took the test. It was a huge help. I still have my notes somewhere I think. Notes help a lot.

Man 5 day cram course hahah I would need like 5 days 24 hours a day cram to fit all this in my head. I'm in 4 quarter class. each quarter is a book with crap in it. But its 1 week a chapter, plus labs and a quiz. Then big test at the end covering that book. the cert test is then something you take on your own after the class. Of course the cisco 1/2 classes were in the beginning of the year so hopefully I didnt forget all that stuff. The other issue is using this at work so you dont fully forget stuff..well they havent made me a network analyst yet so we shall see how that goes.

AMS EVO X - 2009 Modified AWD Class Champion!!!

This was my first time shooting an interview so I think it turned out decent...I was going for a non formal style and I think it turned out that way. This is footage from this past June at Redline Time Attack at Autobahn Country Club, IL.
