Most of Tampa's Employers and Recruiters Are Insane.

I am someone who is college educated and have over five years in real world experience in network administration and desktop support. I cant believe some of these employers here in Tampa that make an A+ certification a requirement for employment. A+ is the equivalent to six months months experience for basic computer repair.
COME ON!!!!! You people would rather hire someone with no education and no experience. You want someone who can PAY MONEY to take a multiple choice test over someone who has busted their ass to go to school and work in the REAL WORLD and has gotten REAL WORLD experience.

Besides Tampa, some of my mentors have credentials that none of you have and probably never will. Some have taught Computer Science at major universities and over 30 years experience in NASA. Those people feel what I do; certifications proof nothing expect you are good at tests.

Personally, I do not have the money to go pay and take a test. I am struggling to make it because I have been unemployed for almost a year now. It is not because Im not trying its because 90% employers in Tampa ask for the certification. CALL MY REFERENCES. HIRE ME. GIVE ME A CHANCE. You will see that I am damn good at what I do, and I am 110% dedicated to my work. After that if you want me to take a test, I will.
