Hi,

I am here since 5 months coming from Tunisia. I am IT engineer with master grade. Now I am working and not satisfied of my kafeel and I want to change my actual job but here certifications are very important. Me, I have 2 years of System/Network programming so what kind of certification can any one advice to pass (CCNA, etc)??
And by the way, if any one can help me by event just an interview in an IT company, I'll be veryy grateful.

Nice to have some answers )

First thing, "Google"; for example see this https://www.google.com/search?q=top+it+certifications

Second thing, Based on what exactly you do, grab certifications.

- If you do programming for MS, try considering MCT, MCSE, MCSA, MCDST etc
- If you do databases, consider MCDBA or Oracle whatever applicable.

Another imp thing: Don't try PMP if you don't manage real projects per PMI standards. Or don't look at CCNA if you don't work on CISCO techs. They'll land you nowhere except you having lost some money.

Certifications do make you stand out of the crowd, but they can't cater for a break-through in some field you haven't done work on before.
