Vendor-neutral certifications are usually just a baseline to getting a job. Senior positions are going to want vendor-specific certifications based on the role and the organization's environment.

I studied for a Data Center job at Amazon. I got it, and I never used 90% of the stuff I used to get the job.

Ive been in IT for 8 months now. All i deal with is common sense dumb shit and user error.

I just took my 1102 and passed. I'm certified now. Now I'm looking at what's ahead.
@djjoelb
learn everything on the job.. but companies want someone that is the genius and knows everything and has all the experience

Wow, this video is such an eye-opener! 😲 I've been studying for my CompTIA exams, and this is exactly what I needed to hear! The real-world insights you're sharing are pure gold—it's easy to get caught up in just passing the exam, but the way you break down how it translates (or doesn't) into real IT jobs is so valuable. I feel way more prepared now to not only ace the test but also succeed in the field. Thank you for being so real about the industry! 🙌🔥

i’ve been in IT for close to 3 years. I have the 2nd part of my jr sys adm interview in a few days. What i’ve come to realize is these companies don’t expect you to know everything. You just have to know enough to the point where they can train you and you can catch on relatively quick

i feel like a lot of people dont approach comptia exams right, some questions later on in the exam litterally give you answers to other questions, i think its a lot of reading comprehension and reference look up more than anything and abillity to learn new things.
@mauratorres5205

Everyone who wants to start their IT career and is asking if they should take the COMPTIA A+ certification exam should watch this video.
@flatbu6h
I still haven't gotten all of my cert or my first job but while I was in bootcamp they told me if you don't have soft skills nobody will hire you.
@Mandilore89
This is the REALEST video I EVER seen talking about CompTIA exams! It's also why I have a love/hate relationship with them! It's great to have your knowledge certified on paper to get your foot into the door/promotion to those that don't understand quite what you do but the real world application & problem solving skills you discussed is WAY more important to the job that memorizing a bunch of stuff!
@Bossdonbigga
Wait til people find out there’s a knowledge base for most of the practical things comptia tells you to memorize especially in help desk
@ndumisomtshali383
"Its about knowing where to find info fast for what you need" thats how every qualification is. Unfortunately realised that after I graduated.
@dcaldwell7706
This is a very insightful video!
@JeannineMüller-q2r

@Joeyxyx
This video sums up the REALITY vs CERTIFICATION (does not matter which vendor).
@ZeeWolfed
