When I was browsing around jobs, a lot of them were asking for A+ and MCSE. Like Hack, currently working on both certifications.
What do you guys thing of the CCNA/CCNP certs from Cisco? Useful? Are they worth the time and effort?

CCNP was hard has he77. The problem is there are very few jobs that need it. And if they do they arent likely to hire someone off the street, they are much more likely to hire internally for that. The one good thing about Calgary is all the head offices as CCNP jobs arent typically in district offices. The company I work for only has 3 Network Engineers for the whole world and we have 9700 employees globally with about 5000 in the US and maybe 1800 in Canada.
Web presence companies probably need them as well, but there arent many of substance in Calgary that I know if, need to go to Vancouver or GTA for that in Canada for the most part.
