Everybody got some story to tell but most of those remain untold. I don’t want this to happen to my story.
So here it is.
My story is about how I passed a certification exam lately and what does that exam means to me.
Yesterday, I took and passed the Microsoft exam AZ-600. With this exam, I managed to secure Microsoft Certified: Azure Stack Hub Operator Associate certification. It is the second certification exam of my life. I am very happy to get it done on my first attempt. The exam and the certification carry a great value for me. I have learned a lot with this exam and the certification is going to be very helpful in pursuing my professional career. In the paragraphs below, I will share my experience with the exam and an introduction to the corresponding certification.
Background
I am a graduate in computer sciences and want to start my professional career in information technology. I have completed my graduation two years ago. I wanted to continue my education to a higher level but was unable to do so due to some family matters. In short, it was not possible for me to continue my education due to financial issues.
So naturally, after graduation, I started looking for a job. I tried hard but was unable to get one. During the course, I applied for dozens of jobs. I was able to make to many interviews as well but of no use. In this strenuous effort, mostly I was denied jobs for being a fresh graduate with no experience.
The challenging job markets are not very kind to those who are not much qualified and don’t have the experience to back their claims. After getting disappointed with the job search, I decided to get some career- counseling from a senior mentor. He’s a career professional with vast experience in the field of IT.
He listened to me carefully, asked many questions. Then he asked me to define a career line for myself. As I don’t want to become a developer, so I chose networking administration, Then he advised me to go for cloud solutions instead of the conventional network administrator approach. He told me about the scope of cloud computing at present and in the near future. I agreed to his suggestion.
He further guided me about the CompTIA Cloud+. He recommended I take vendor-neutral CompTIA certification in the first place to make a solid foundation. He said that afterward, you can choose a specific platform. He suggested I look for the Microsoft Azure platform for better career opportunities.
Though I was having vast experience with academic exams but never ever had a certification exam. As I didn’t have any experience with a certification exam, so he guided me about how to prepare for the exam. He also gave me some pro tips for preparation and the day of the exam. I acted upon his advice and started preparing for the CompTIA Cloud+ exam with ExamLabs.
I then took the exam and passed it to earn the CompTIA Cloud+ credentials. The certification provided me with a fair enough knowledge about cloud computing. By then I developed a personal interest in technology. With a reasonable academic background in information technology, it wasn’t difficult for me to understand the concept and prepare for the exam.
My interest, my intuition, and my hard work, everything supported me a lot in passing that exam. Passing that exam gave me the confidence that I can take the certification exams head-on. After that, I started for my second certification which is a newly introduced credential named Microsoft Certified: Azure Stack Hub Operator Associate.
AZ-600 Exam
With the first exam and certification, I became acquainted with the practices and methodology required for going into the professional certification exams. My newly developed interest in cloud computing was an added advantage by then. I spent a lot of time reading about it besides my course material. When you find a subject interesting, reading becomes easier and more fun.
As with my previous certification, I took the study material from MyExamCollection. I purchased the complete package for the AZ-600 exam Dumps from MyExamCollection which consisted of PDF and Testing Engine. What I liked most about the training package by MyExamCollection was the accuracy of content according to the guideline set by the exam vendor. As AZ-600 is a new exam, so the content was updated.
For a real exam experience, the braindumps by MyExamCollection were very useful. With the help of professionally compiled training material by MyExamCollection, I was able to get completely prepared for the exam in 6 weeks. Then I spared a week for the revision to get hold of the subject. As expected I passed the AZ-600 exam on my first attempt.
What I have learned so far from these two certifications is that a lot depends upon what you study. That needs to be accurate and updated. Certification exams may look different in the first place but they don’t remain the same once you get on the right preparation track. It takes a good plan and the accurate and latest course material to sail through the journey of professional certifications.
Conclusion
Cloud computing has been one of the fastest-growing technology in the enterprise market over the last few years. It is getting popular because of the cost-saving and convenience in use. The growing deployment of cloud platforms has resulted in the creation of a large number of relevant jobs. Learning cloud-related skills has become more essential than before.
