    Hi all,

    Im MCSA ,MCITP and Sec+ certified

    I currently work on helpdesk level two in Cork. Im looking to move and am getting an interview a week which is great in the current financial times we live in.

    However I enjoy doing exams and was wondering is there any exam I could do that would help my chances of getting a job?

    Could I tie the current exams in with some . NET qualification something like the old MCAD?

    Any help would be great
    Noel

    Well MCAD has being retired for a while now. Easiest way to tie in development concepts with infrastructure certs.. well there isnt one. You could before but not anymore.

    Best option would maybe be there MCTS SQL 2005 as this covers some development tasks as well as admin (which have been since seperated out in the MCTS SQL 2008 DBA & DBD certs)

    70-432 SQL Server 2008 For DBA
    70-433 SQL Server 2008 gear toward .Net Dev, I think you need 70-536 first.
    I recently passed 70-448 SQL Server BI. Not sure about job prospect in this area. Most required experience.

    You dont need 70-536 to take 70-433.. different scope of exams and requirements.

    If its on .NET 2.0 or 3.5 you need 70-536 for any other MCTS certifications. You only need to pass it once and it can be used for all the rest.

    THere is no such requirement on .NET 4
