Share via E-mailIn 2009, nearly everyone is worried about keeping their job or have already been laid off. Today we’ll cover 6 essential skill sets that the technology sector will always need and how you can find your niche.
A common question among the “IT” crowd is what sort of computer certification is going to keep them employed. I covered “best certifications to get?” in February 2009 so this is an update per viewer request.
In no particular order
- MCSE/MCSA
- Databases
- Security
- Linux
- Open Source Platform LAMP
- Apple
Which certification do you feel is the most valuable certification to hold?

@MCSE Angie,
Whichever one speaks to your skillset. It’s not use asking a a dog to run in a horse race just like getting a certification for database administration (when you hate looking at tables) when you really are passionate about .Net development.

Great video. I am getting my CEH and CCNA over the next two months. Looking forward to getting them. BTW – I was in your class in ATL for ” What the heck is wordpress? ” Very informative.

Thanks. Good for you on the certs! They are great to have, look good on a
resume and show that a 3rd party has validated your skill set!

If you had to place these certs in order of important or financial gain. What would the list look like?

I wouldn’t. Follow your passion and the money will come as well.
