Great Gems... Congrats on the 19k. Thanks for sharing your platform with the little guys like me...

[tourneytike]

Love this, as a Help Desk supervisor I agree. Get the job first, then take a cert route that fills a need at your company for quicker promotion.

This channel is a life and time saver! I almost spent $$$$ going back to college and certifications

[ShadowAssault]

Well said. I made the same mistake with cert stacking. During interviews, my home lab was mostly discussed, and the experiences with Testout Labsim. They liked the fact that this was things i was already doing in my free time. Certs were just for their compliance 😆. Many want to take shortcuts and wonder why it's not working out for them. Awesome video as usual

Is true Kevin what you saying about people taking the exam they just memorize the answer and expect to pass, but while taking practice exams people need to know if they get the wrong answer why did they get it wrong and look at the other answer choices too and make sense of those too..great tutoring Kevin thanks for sharing.

Bro, you are 1000% right! Anyone watching this, take this advice!

[tramellmalone]

I'm guilty Kev. Had to pump the breaks. Thanks bro..👊

Hey Kev I really appreciate your videos. I recently just got a Helpdesk position and your videos have been amazing

[DArson]

This is so true. I was lucky to get a helpdesk starter position and tried several times to get cert. I think what hurt me is not getting the hands on experience or feeling overwhelmed that all these jobs want Certs. But good advise, apply for the positions first, focus on the cert 2nd.

I really needed this video and I absolutely agree with every point.

[terrancepinkney]

Great content Kevin. I saw one of your other videos and was really impressed with how you give all this insight into what you do. This particular video is exactly what I am doing now. I have a suedo IT background but never done work full time. I'm supplementing my lack of full-time experience by creating my own part-time. I have a lab on VirtualBox with Server, Win10 etc. I'm taking online tutorial classes while actually doing the work in my lab. Certs mean nothing unless you can put into practice what you learned. There isn't a real excuse for not having any experience only people's priority in learning and putting that learning into action is the problem. Thanks for a great video.

Experience in my opinion will always supersede certs and degrees, I learned this the hard way.

[sammitchell]

I got my first help desk interview this week! I was so afraid to apply but I did anyway! Time to binge watch every video

[Cryovix]

I am currently trying to get my A+ cert. i have been studying now for a couple months and I am taking it soon. While doing this I also started watching your videos, I did labs at home also to learn active directory. While doing all this I have also been applying to places. I got my first interview today and have 2 more interviews next week as well. Can honestly say I am glad I did not wait to apply places. I learned my Resume didnt look the best. Had to change it twice before I started getting call backs. Thank you for all your help and advice kev. It has helped me alot. Keep up the good work

[jacovanzyl]

Thanks, Kev. This is brilliant advice.

[pndemc]

[vakilee]

[leonist]

8:23 only reason I have a lab now is you I followed you step by step from the 2016 server but I did 2019 server and I watch most of your video they are big help and thought me lot, thank you, a had labs before with Kali, hack the box same thing you talking I'm this video and I relate to it and I can say this that YOU ARE RIGHT pls keep teachings us man I'm a pizza guy for 10 years and want to change my Carrera to IT but got no degree or certificate please mentor me

[yemtechit]

Great advice, thank you for what you do in the community.

[uietend]

so true with you had said.
Interviewer would still ask you on what you had learned in that certification you got. If you couldnt answer well they wouldnt still believe on you that you are competent on the job. So its more important that you know or have an idea on what you are entering even like you are from 0 to 80% knowledgeable because in every company you will always get additional knowledge that you didnt get from your previous company. And yes, its better to apply or practice what had learned on video so that you would be able to understand and get familiar as well to the skills you wanted to acquire.
So its kinda like in your everyday journey is a new learning experience. Certificate can to be follow specially when you know that you are now well and confident to take it with no pressure at all 😉
Thanks Kev for reminding us, kuddos 👋😁
