haha. those were part of my technical certification. I have CIW, CompTIA, Novell, HP, Citrix and IBM Lotus in hand as well.

not to mention management certification. since this thread is about technical.

previously my job was covering all IT related tasks ie. management proposal, budget and report, design and presentation, administration and maintenance. therefore I have opportunity to play around with windows desktop system to midrange unix system, routers and switches, cabling and fiber optic, etc.

after working for two years, I then only realized the important of having IT certification in my career. so I decided to pursue my very first one - Cisco CCNA. it took me three months self-study to sit for the exam. the moment I passed it, I felt so great. from there onwards, I continued to obtain other certifications. within 18 months, I got a stack of technical certificates.

when I went for interview, the interviewer looked at my resume. the first impression was WOW. after that within few days, called me to come and sign the offer letter. haha.
