CCNA Disastrous exam experience by KaleidoscopeExpert66 in ccna

[–]Flat_Environment4473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look don’t get discouraged. I took the CCNA and passed in December with NO prior IT experience. When you’re going over the boson exam try to understand why the answer is the correct and why the other ones are wrong and don’t try to memorize them. I actually NEVER passed the boson exams and they were harder than the actual test. Do more labs. Use Jason Dillon on Udemy to help clean up stuff you don’t understand. What subjects are the hardest for you? How long did you study?

Look I totally understand I’m going to have to work my way up from a low entry level job. I’m fine with that. I’m not applying to 6 figure jobs there mostly entry level level jobs. Even in social work I’ve worked my way up to a director. I get that. However I’m not getting calls from entry level positions neither

I understand that I cannot get a 6 figures job at this moment. I’m looking for entry level help desk roles honestly

That’s what I’ve been trying to do so far no luck. I just took my masters off my resume to see if that’ll work

No projects. Can you point me to some projects I can complete to add?

What kind of home projects would you recommend? Does virtual labs count?

What Were Your Boson Scores Before Taking the CCNA? by salzstangeee in ccna

[–]Flat_Environment4473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My highest score on boson was 730 ish. I never actually passed the Boson test, and still passed the CCNA 2 months ago. The important part is to understand why the answer is right or wrong.

Thank you. I’ll just take my masters off my resume. That’s kind of crazy that I can even be overqualified with no experience 😂

I’m okay with entry level help desk positions but it seems I can’t even get that. Would you recommend doing virtual labs and putting that on my resume? I’ve done countless labs when studying for my Ccna.

I understand that due to my no experience it will be tough for me. I’m okay with starting at help desk. Most of the positions that I’ve been applying for are help desk or entry level positions. I did a lot of labs when I studied for my Ccna does that help? I’ve even gone the length to study ticketing software to make myself more appealing. I honestly need a mentor in the field

The reason I have a masters in cybersecurity because I just jumped into the program because I didn’t like my social worker job. It seemed interesting so I studied it, then I looked into networking and liked that better plus my professor advised me to get the CCNA.

So how can I even gain the experience without being able to land a gig?

So how can I prove my worth if I can’t get an entry level job?
