Title: Many certs within the next month
Post by: Joshsevo on August 15, 2011, 02:03:52 PM

So I have so many certs to take in the next month it's crazy. LOL.

I am taking the CEH/CPT test after my Infosec Institute class at the end of this month.

I also just paid for my CHFI test and will be taking that in about 3 wks. Then I also just scheduled my GCFE for Sept 14th.

So I have a lot of studying on my plate in the next few weeks and then maybe I will be able to find a job. Already been looking and studying for all the tests.

Wow!

I thought I was on a crazy pace doing 3 certs/year... I found my match! :D

Good luck and keep us posted with your experience with these exams.

One last thing: don't burn the candle on both ends!!! ;)

if I could afford it, and justify it, I'd try for one every quarter. (1 every 3 months). but not in that spot.

Good luck Joshsevo, remember it's not about the cert, it's about what you learn along the way. :)

Chris,

For sure. The CEH is the one I am really excited about as it will teach me so much and give me a bigger understanding of the security side of my degree.

It's just the way it's worked out scheduled wise with all these certs happening at the same time preactically.
I was going to take my Network+ also but going to postpone it for a little bit.

Speaking of exams, I have CEH exam coming up, and I just passed CCNA 2 weeks ago. I gotta finish CEH quickly too because I have a software engineering class coming up in the fall at the university.

Very impressive. I have definetly been slacking on the cert front. You clearly seem to be wizzing through them. Just set my self the challenge of completing 2 exams by the end of this year :P

Inspiration but reading many post I begin to prepare more linux skills and metasploit a little bit, after I finish the Mesploit book I will review some programming and scripts (only basic) and go to OSCP in the middle of Sept.

Just passed my CHFI also this morning. Blew through the exam actually. I mentioned before that it had some questions that I felt had nothing to do with Forensics or Hacking. I suppose in some small twisted-ECcouncil kind of way that can be related.

So next up is my GCFE which is on the 14th of this month. I had taken the SANS 408 Computer Forensics in May. So that's the one I really want.

Three day weekend= plenty of time to study.

At this pace, you will have them all in 2 years! :D

LOL, some guy at the class said I should do my CISSIP right now and I LOL cause the CISSIP is way tough and I need more experience.

I really hope that with these certs now I get some more first interviews. That same guy took my info and is going to send it to a few companies that only take references. One of them only wants former Navy and since I am I may fit right in.
