Preparing Yourself For A Microsoft Certification Exam


by Darrel Jefferson


In deciding whether or not to become Microsoft certified, the question must be ask, what is in this for me? What benefits will I receive in receiving my Microsoft certification working in Kuwait? These are important questions that must be seriously considered.

Experts in the IT world agree that certifications put you in a position to take hold of the vast IT opportunities that continue to grow and expand. The majority of IT hiring managers agree that an IT certification is a fairly high priority when considering whether or not to hire someone. Clearly, being certified is important. But why a Microsoft certification?

Know your languages. Your coding language skills will all depend on the niche you wish to fill within the IT industry. If you are more interested in coding for the web then HMTL5, CSS, PHP and Javascript are some languages you will need to be fluent in. If you are more interested in computer programming and database management, then languages like C++ and SQL will be on your need to know list.

Once you've decided on the best Microsoft certification for you, what is the best way to prepare for the exam?

Dumb phones are out, and smart phones are in. This means career in IT may include developing apps for smart phones and familiarity with mobile development for iOS and Android.

Purchasing this material at perhaps a discounted rate because it is a year or more old would do you a disservice for this reason.

If doing a self-study program is something you do not feel comfortable with, you can also find Microsoft training and courses in places like Kuwait, where there is a high demand for Microsoft certifications.

But almost above all else you will need to be familiar, with social media. If you do not know how to post a status on Facebook, create a blog, pin a post on Pinterest, retweet a tweet or upload picture with Instagram, you may need to reconsider your career path.

Social media is a pervasive and effective tool to garner customers, and if you know how to use social media to make money for you company you will likely remain a valuable staff member.

Taking the right approach to preparing for a Microsoft certification exam is key in getting the career results you want.
