Don't put "CCIE Written" or "CCIE candidate" > on your resume, because neither of those are actual *certifications.* I am well aware of exactly what having passed the CCIE qualification exam does and does not mean. Search the groupstudy archives for "CCIE written". I posted my opinions on this about june/july. I know I dont have a CCIE yet. That isnt the issue. Right now I just cant take the lab exam as I plain cant afford it and my lab is in storage so I cant practice anyway. In fact right now my cisco skills are getting rusty as I havent even had any cisco hands on since July. > If you're looking for > resume boosters, either bite the bullet and take the CCIE Lab, or maybe go > for some of the CCIP certs instead. Resume boosters arent the issue. I already have CCNP, CCIP, CCDP, CSS1, CIPTSS from cisco and am a CISSP and CCSE. I am trying to keep myself sane by making what productive use I can of a very unwelcome excess of free time right now (unemployment really sucks!!!) In the next few weeks I will probably study for the MPLS and EVODD exams and may perhaps even try for the Packet Telephony exam and IP telephony troubleshooting exam. I could also, as I originally stated try to pass an additional CCIE qualification exam (R&S or C&S-Voice) or two. I sent the question so I could hopefully receive advice as to whether or not this was a stupid idea and also, to find out what people thought about having multiple lab exams outstanding. I.E. Once I find myself in a position where I can afford to take the lab(s), should I treat them seperately and work towards them one at a time, or try to work towards them all at the same time (on the basis of a lot of common material in the different labs). > > (Again, sorry about the acidic response...people putting "CCIE Written" on > their resumes *really* bugs me, and it sounds like what you're doing. > Hopefully I'm wrong. :-) You are ;-))) Peter Walker CISSP, CSS1, CIPTSS, CCNP, CCIP, CCDP, etc Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=57036&t=57019 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
