Adding Certifications
I have a bachelor’s degree in business, and I have thought about going back for my master’s, but just lack the initiative. I know I should, but I seem to make excuse after excuse to postpone it each year. So instead of doing that, I have been looking into just adding some certifications to my resume. I looked into the Microsoft certifications as I actually used to train students in our high school for this, but I also want something more “prestigious” and more technical - Cisco certification. This is a pretty intensive certification, but I think I would really like to have this one on my resume if I ever get the chance to teach business and technology classes instead of the English classes I currently teach. In addition, this could open up some great opportunities for me for after school hours, weekends, and/or summer for making extra money for our family. Having this certification allows for many more technological career opportunities than if I just tried to use my knowledge and experience. It’s amazing sometimes what a simple piece of paper can do for you.
The Cisco Learning Network looks like an interesting and helpful place to work on this certification. It gives you the details of how to get certified and also shows you the job opportunities available out there after you do, in fact, get certified. I have actually worked with Cisco routers, switches, and wireless systems at my last school where I served as Technology Assistant as well as classroom teacher so I am thinking of looking seriously into those categories for my first certifications.
