Hey all,
I have a year left before I graduate University of Phoenix with an Associates in IT with Programming certificate. I have been looking up jobs such as programming and software development jobs to see what is out there but I don't feel prepared or qualified enough for their requirements. Will it be hard to find a job when I graduate? Do jobs want all requirements and qualifications met or do most train? So far I have very limited knowledge of Java,C,C++,HTML5 and Javascript.

You are headed in the right direction really. Just keep learning. maybe build a home lab to learn new shyt. Cop a cert or two before you graduate. You should be good.

Just got my BS in CIS - Information Technology.
Only cert I have I got in school, ICCP - Information Systems Analyst Practicioner.
I was looking to get A+, Network+ certified asap..would this be a good start for the A+?
CompTIA A+ Certification 220-901 & 220-902 Full Course
I also read up on courses/training offered by Cybrary?

IMO I would skip the A+ since you have a degree in CIS.
What work are you trying to get into?

I was thinking networking, troubleshooting/helpdesk or even database management...
why would you recommend skipping A+?

I'm not sure what you learned in college but, with my CIS degree I learned majority of what's covered in the A+ in college.

One of the best things about being the IT guy is going into people's email when they leave the company.
This one chick send her resignation email in on Sunday for her last day to be the coming Friday. A month later and there's an email from her bank, saying her account has less than $25.
