For my contractor guys is it normal for a recruiter to ask for DOB and last 4 of SS#?

It wasn't the first time a recruiter asked for it so I'm guessing its the norm for these positions, but it just seems . Like I havent even interviewed yet breh

I told him straight up "I dont feel comfortable giving you that "

Everything about the company and job checks out but idk

It ain't the whole social, so what's the problem?

It ain't the whole social, so what's the problem?

Just seems odd to ask for that when I havent even interviewed for anything

Told me bigger companies do it so they can make sure there are no duplicate appplications from the same people

You would think there was a better way

Any of you participate in tech meetups in your area?

I'm taking anbintro to networking class for the ccent

First day on like this is some bullshyt

Teacher is wasting time talking to students about dumb side computer bullshyt

tests are online and I figure I'll be doing most most of the studying myself

I'm going to just go and order a ccent/CCNA study book I saw on Amazon and finish the class so I can get a job connect

How long should it take me to study to pass the CCNA?

Depends on your own aptitude and training habits.
IMHO
Probably 2 months to learn the theoretical side. 1 month of hands on simulator digging.
IMHO.
Thats what it took for me when I first got my CCNA, the old version, 640-801days

 

[Sonny Bonds]

Git and source tree confuse the hell out of me.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

We started on subnets and the math involved

Class got a lot less boring

[Poitier]

What's up?

I'll pm you when I get home. I need a fairly comprehensive e-commerce site built.

 

[No Homo]

Anyone here work with AWS?

 

[D1renegade]

How long should it take me to study to pass the CCNA?

Took me about 6 months, but it can be easily done in less time. If I were you, I would dedicate at least 2 months for the ICND1 and 2 months for the ICND2. I used the Todd Lammle book, but the version I have is now out of date since since the exam objectives were just recently refreshed.
