Many people holding impractical expectations to participate in the certification exams of Cisco are usually ending with frustration. Many people owned below expectations before participating in certification exams:
- CompTIA Security+ certification is the only way to bring me a job in IT industry;
- to be a CompTIA Security+ is to be successful；
- Once getting the CompTIA Security+ certification, I will get my dream job;
- CompTIA Security+ is the rule of IT industry;
- CompTIA Security+ is a gold mine.
Does CompTIA Security+ certification really play such a big role? Maybe one has unrealistic expectations because he misunderstands the certification.
In fact, certificate examination, take the example of CompTIA SY0-201, is only used to assess a candidate’ knowledge of certain software, his logical thinking ability and problem resolution ability. However, nearly every client or emplor hopes you are experienced and skillful. But a certificate exam certainly will not increase your practical experience.
Further more, SY0-201 is mainly concerned with technical skills, you can not able to acheive success in the IT industry only by skill. So, if you want to get the big success in IT industy, you not only need to master certain skills, but also need many other knowledges, such as interpersonal relationship, negotiation skills, teamwork, etc.
Anyway, you should think through before you take the examination, and make sure you have enough time and resource for the examination. You might as well try to gain more practical experience from the media, internet and even from your boss.
