This marks the start of a new way for me to study for certifications in the networking industry. My hope is that ranting and raving via blog will help me to retain the topics while providing some help to others in the industry.
My traditional method of study is to absorb reading material like a dry sponge and then regurgitate. That has worked well for me in the past but damn if its not boring so I'm spicing it up.
My elevator interview is this: 7 years in the networking industry. I have my bachelors degree (via the previously mentioned study method). I work for a consultant that values knowledge and experience over papers from vendors (I don't mean to devalue certs, but experience does prevail). I have my CCNA and have for some time. I more recently passed my CCNA security; I really didn't need to hit that book hard, I have been bringing up and tearing down vpns for 7 years and I knew the material very well before i opened a book. I find myself to be a jack of all trades (don't good consultants have to be?) but my love (or at least current lust) is wireless. So my pursuit for now is on the CCNA Wireless certification.
Stay tuned....
