Congratulations. This will definitely help improve your image in blogging audiences.Ivan Pepelnjakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13457151406311272386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23021255.post-31109894051899298672008-07-08T23:57:00.000+02:002008-07-08T23:57:00.000+02:002008-07-08T23:57:00.000+02:00A CCIE is valuable when job-hunting (particularly since some jobs require it). Beyond that, its a continuing cost and annoyance that occurs every other year, until you finally get fed up and chuck it. I know a few people who've had it over 10 years, and the feeling is always the same - we re-certify because it was so hard to get in the first place, but its a bitter pill. The CCIE holds a high status, but there's no growth in it.Blainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09591465597794037230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23021255.post-22751007654810763262008-07-08T23:53:00.000+02:002008-07-08T23:53:00.000+02:002008-07-08T23:53:00.000+02:00Looks like good information, another good place to gor for information would be the Cisco website. I recently got my CCNA from there and i'd recommend it for anyone who's looking for information on CCA certs or anything else in IT.<BR/><BR/>https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/index.jspa?ciscoHome=true?utm_source<BR/>=blog+commenting&utm_medium=media&utm_content=Google&utm_campaign=Domesticecrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13902892649975134475noreply@blogger.com
