CYBERSECURITY JOB HUNTING GUIDE
Comptia Server+
Short review
Author: Stefan Waldvogel
Overview
Server+ is a certification for system administrators or for employees with server experience. It is useful if you want to work with servers in a data center. It is a very specific certification for a specific purpose.
How to prepare
I read a book (CompTIA Server+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide (Exam SK0-004)), but this book does not cover all topics. Maybe 80% but you need over 80% to pass.
How long do you need to get exam ready?
For this exam, you need related work experience.
Advantages
The big advantage of this cert is, it is good for life. You take it a single time, and you do not have to worry about it.
Disadvantages
Out of all CompTIA certs, this was the hardest one (my experience). The knowledge is hard to get, and books do not cover all topics. If you do not have actual work experience, the cert is really hard. I do not think the cert is HR relevant.
Price
$338
Conclusion
This certification is unique, and I took it because it is good-for-life. This was my single reason besides of learning English under a stressful situation.
