Today I took another Microsoft Certification Exam. This time, the 70-621 Upgrading your MCDST to MCITP Enterprise Support. I passed it with a 933/1000! So I got the MCITP: Enterprise Support and MCTS(Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist): Windows Vista Configuration certifications.
So this brings my list to:
So perhaps I am a little addicted to getting certifications. But I like learning this stuff, and work pays for it. So why wouldn't I do this? Plus, it should help me climb some positions at work, and hopefully be in a job role that doesn't require me being on the phones sometime in the near future. I like this new job role I have(Financial Technical Analyst), but its still not ideal. I mostly do call-backs on tickets other techs were unable to resolve or that are of a Financial nature(Payroll applications, billing insurance companies, claims transmissions, etc.), which is better than the Tech 1 role I was at. But I hope to move into a position where my job is not phone related. I have been working a call center in some way since I was 17, so I could use a change. So now, on to my next one.....CompTIA Security+. It builds on the Network+ I already have, so it should not require too much studying lol. Then, who knows the order, but it will most likely include Linux+, MCSA/MCSE, CCA, and more. This week was also my 1 year anniversary at VCPI. So things have been going very well at work. Let's hope they continue to do so, I know I will do my part.
