Build your credibility with Cisco ★
Cisco has a big social learning network that many IT pros have joined to advance and enhance their IT careers. Wouldn’t you want to do the same? You can apply, like them, to get your Cisco certification, whenever you like. These certificates are respected as they give tremendous value to networking professionals who have them, because getting them from the leader in networking is something of an achievement. Apart from these career certifications that I’ve been talking about, networking personnel play a vital role at enhancing their core knowledge by getting specialist certifications in the fields of technologies like security, wireless, etc.
You have virtually an unlimited set of resources and information that you can use to extend technology and business knowledge. This is what you get from the Cisco Learning Center. One thing is to know what you are doing and one thing is to be recognized for being a person who knows what he/she is doing. Thats the advantage a Cisco certification gives you. You have a wealthy account of technical resources from within Cisco and beyond to keep you well-informed and on your game. You may be able to connect two things but this is exactly what you’ve been looking for - this is what helps you master a language that connects the world because just thinking you deserve a better job isn’t enough. You need proof to show that your deserve it.
The work you are doing may not be very different from the work a superhero that you loved did. You can do high-excitement work only when there’s high demand. You’re saving a life only when you know it will end soon and only when you know you can. You’re not saving a life that you know will not end. No that’s not what you’re doing. You have a skill, you need the experience and certification. You need to look in Cisco’s direction.

That last paragraph is really quite cryptic.
