Thanks Brad,
I more question. Does getting you CCNA really help you land a job? I'm
50 and worked at an all Cisco site a few years ago. I didn't setup the network, but took care of it. Something like 20 buildings, 700+ old 300 switches then 2400 later 4000's. did the whole Y2K thing.. Started checking the network with a little program (ServersAlive) they (at the time) didn't monitor or really know what they had at the end closets (users). So will getting my CCNA help??Thanks for all your help to me and all the others...
The answer that floats around here goes roughly,
"Ideally, if you have the experience, then CCNA would not be necessary. However, CCNA is often listed as a job requirement, and even if it is marked as 'or equivilent experience', the people who do the first level pass through received resumes to cross-check that all the objective requirements are met, are not going to be able to judge whether your experience is subjectively good enough. If they have lots and lots of resumes to go through, then your non-CCNA resume is going to end up in the second-tier pile at best, not even looked at unless they find that -everyone- who applied who does have the CCNA paper is unsuitable. So the value of the CCNA is that it gets you that objective tickmark on the form that gets your resume into the hands of people who have a chance of fairly evaluating the value of your experience."
Thanks for the great input......

Hi Gene,
Yes, absolutely.
Earning a CCNA gains you the ability to be "considered" for a position that requires "at least or a minimum" of a Cisco CCNA Certification.
It is your experience and knowledge that will "land" you the job.
Keep in mind please, that 80% of Cisco employers search resumes before they post a job.
And those employers want those resumes in "Word Format" so that they can do "keyword" searches in "resume databases."
Even with fantastic job databases:

Employers will pay the highest salaries ( CCIE Voice jobs are starting at $160,000 to $200,00 ) for candidates with the "required" certifications, knowledge and experience:
