The 220-801 exam includes extensive networking and security sections. I recommend that everyone download and read through all of the exam requirements!

In what video do you go over the send/receive lights on a NIC card and talk about the purpose of cross over cable?

[stylz]

On this video and on the Network+ equivalent video you say you can't terminate a cable with one end T568A and the other end with T568B.  You say it won't work, but that is what a crossover cable is and is required for certain connections.

What is the relevance of RED,   BLUE and GREEN coloring on cable connectors?

[MarcusCash]

I just passed my Cisco CCENT a couple weeks ago. I feel like I should know all of this from studying for that. Is there anything new in Section 2.1 - 2.8 that I may not know? Or should I go over this anyways for A+?

Halfway done with the 801 videos. Really appreciate the detailed explanations and time and effort you put into your videos. Not sure if there is a related video to this on your channel, but are there any pointers you could give me on getting my foot in the door in the IT field (after obtaining my A+ cert of course). I plan on getting a Net+ and Security+ cert soon after an A+ as well. I notice a lot of companies require something along the lines of 1/2/3 years of prior work experience in the field. Is there a way for me to work for that experience, without being on an active payroll in that field? Also, I know it's a subjective question, but would you personally recommend just waiting for additional certs, before hopping into the IT job scene? I know IT is a huge field, and just having an A+ cert doesn't reflect much capability on a larger scale.
