Are you saying that it was just ignored when you applied for jobs?  It was a
requirement for me to obtain a year after working my current job.  I'm
hoping to use it (and maybe get the network one too) to move into server
admin perhaps in the IT department at the university where I work someday.
Of course there's also the Windows Server Microsoft certification,
networking associates degree, and other options.  I'm always thinking about
the future, though.

Hi,

Congrats, I hope it will help you.
It didn't help me gain employment one bit.

Hello all, thought I would let everyone know that I took and passed the A+
certification.  And to Bryan Schulz, you were right about the simulation
questions; I used a reader of course and just had them click on stuff.
Again, in a world where I'm used to having most things provided to me in an
accessible format, I was not pleased with the reader option, but I just
decided to deal with it this time since I needed the certification for work.
It wasn't too bad, I just felt a little uncomfortable when I had to ask them
to read multiple questions further on in the test because I was getting
tired.  The proctor allowed us to take breaks which was OK because I didn't
even use most of the time provided me.  When I sensed that the reader needed
a break for some water (they wouldn't let her bring any in the testing room)
I would ask her if she needed a break.  I do wish, though, that they would
come up with a different way for us to do this.  It would be a little tough
for the recovery simulation questions (since we don't have speech in that
environment anyway) but for the Windows stuff at least I think there could
be some alternatives.  Either way, all that matters is that I am now A+
certified!
