Just make sure you have a decent understanding of Active Directory and basic networking and you should be good.

Junior security admin sounds like you'll spend a lot of time creating AD groups/containers, dealing with passwords, messing with permissions, and maybe dealing with the firewall.

you only need that level of experience with ad? seems easy

Y'all think $500 is too much for an instructor led A+ training course ?

Hell yes

like to kick start my journey into IT. I'm interested in the Security sector and although i don't have a IT background, should i be applying to Help Desk or Desktop Support positions? I have a basic understanding of some computer terminologies.

Does it make sense to pay for the CCNA at a local school? I'm thinking it may help with job assistance.

That's a reasonable price. Depend on the materials included though

I think it's supposed to be like a college course. They lecture on the material and have parts in class for the students to see. By the end of the course they should be able to install windows, build a computer, do basic troubleshooting, etc. Basically everything covered in the book

That sounds pretty complete to me and reasonably priced, especially if you're walking them through the labs etc

How much does the CCNA course cost? I don't know of any school with job placement worth a damn. You would be better off befriending someone already working in IT with some pull.

I'm currently using Google Analytics data at one of my jobs now with no previous experience with Google Analytics. It isn't that difficult to understand.

Trying to do a little somethin with adwords too.
I tried to generate traffic organically but my competition got bullshyt backlinks too. Gonna try some cpc.

On topic I passed my 70 410. Half way through 411 then 412 by feb I hope. Though I would track back and do CCNP but I find servers more interesting

Likely to go straight for MCSE, really Im just tryna get to the money at top speed but I guess it helps to enjoy it too

The job placement program at my school sucked too. They gave us this bullshyt resume template to use that was god awful.

Learning them all at once

ppc is most complicated of the three (paid search)

fb and twitter are easier to grasp

on the surface yea, but digital analytics / google analytics, when properly trained, can get pretty complicated (understanding things like sources, mediums, referrals, funnel visualizations, goal setting / tracking, events and more)

and the knowledge is worth $
