Cisco®’s New CCNP Wireless Certification
If you’ve been paying attention to what the latest must have certs from the Cisco® world are, then you’ve definitely heard about the happening new CCNP Wireless track. If you haven’t, no worries, I’ll get you up to speed right here: The latest, greatest professional level cert is the CCNP Wireless Certification that sits squarely between the almost as recently announced CCNA and CCIE Wireless Certs. (Why it isn’t called the CCWP is presently beyond me, but I promise to fill you in as soon as I find out. I mean, that’s what I’d...

It’s not exactly breaking news that so many of us are either struggling to keep our current jobs, or battling with intensifying competition to secure a new one. And as this recession deepens, contending with trials of keeping and/or finding a good job are only certain to intensify. Not so long ago, as long as you behaved well, showed up for work reliably, and did what was expected of you, your job security probably wasn’t anywhere near the top of your list of concerns.

Cisco® just announced new certifications in the market and they’re super exciting! Of course, a lot of you are already writing me about when my books will be out… All I can say is I’m pounding the keyboard as fast as I can and that yes, I wish I could figure out some way to do that while sleeping too!

This is the same approach Cisco® has been using for years—you either take two relatively easier tests, or one super hard test.
