Where can we get them? How reliable are websites who claim to have vouchers? How often promotions happen and how inexpensive can we take an exam?

# 02 John

I don’t know the full details on this but i believe it is some sort of promotion for 2009 on certain exams.

I used a voucher after i failed my CCNA Wireless exam, I was entitled to a voucher/free go at a retest.

I am not sure if you can believe these websites, they are probably advertising something which you can get anyway like i did from a normal testing centre.

I have a question in regards to this.

Does the comeback2009 count towards CCNA recertification. I’ve heard that, if you’re certification has expired, you can use this promotion to get certified again. Not sure if it’s true or not. Maybe a moderator can give some insight.

The comback2009 does work for the CCNA concentration exams.  I definitely recommend using it if you fail a test.

I am 99% sure the COMEBACK2009 promotion is for individuals that had existing CCNA certification and let them expire. hence the promo. name? 

That promotion is what inspired me to retake the exam.  I did not need to use the promotion, as I passed the first time through, but I was prepared to use it had I not passed.

It can also be used for concentration exams.

Cisco offers promotions from time to time that target different audiences and have differing rules and time limits. Eligible participants receive an email invitation to participate.

What is the best way to go about getting a job after passing the CCNA exam? Would it make sense to continue on the CCNP track, using real equipment and wait until the opportunity comes along?

In these tough times when the market is so rough, i feel like i am falling behind in gaining a position. I currently do helpdesk/Jr. Administrator <– fancy title…  6 years desktop support experience looking to move over to networking….

I am currently studying for the BSCI exam…

# 02 Rickey

I would continue looking for a job.  Search for things like network technician, network engineer, network administrator.  Simple titles like that.  If you have a JR. Admin title and can explain the server/network experience you have then I would imagine that would increase your chances.  Make sure to highlight your certifications and career goals and desire to progress forward with the certification process.  I don’t know if you have any college education, but make sure that is highlighted as well.  That can make a big difference a lot of times.

Congrats on getting the CCNA!

I am not sure if you have any experience in the networking industry.  Unless you have some conections with the powers that be, you are going to have to start small.  99.99% of employers aren’t going to just let you touch a Cisco router, switch, AP, ASA etc, until you can demonstrate to them that you have sufficient, “demonstrated” knowledge of the basics in the field first.  This may even begin with basic break/fix issues.  You are going to have to sweep up behind the elephant before you can run the circus so to speak.

Look for anything that will get your foot in the door even if it is break/fix things and continue to work on your CCNP track or next level certification.
