Information Technology Certification - IT as a Career

Information technology is perhaps one of the most lucrative career to embark on. There are tons of jobs available both domestically and internationally. If you good at IT, you stand to earn high wages, and your chances of being retrenched is also much lower compared to your colleagues. That's because you have a unique skill set that is portable across industries. And it's hard for companies to find someone else to replace good IT staff.
However, given the benefits of the sector, tons of people are trying to penetrate into IT as well. To separate those who are serious from those who are just looking for a temporary job, organizations are starting to look at IT certification. That is the only professional way to separate the professionals from the freelancers.

This is good news for those who are good at what they do. The requirement for certification would just be a temporary obstacle. If you are good, you can easily obtain the right certification, and qualify for your dream job.

In the current market, there are many different types of IT certification courses available. The type of IT course that you take will depend on the technologies that you choose to work with. For example, if you want to be a Microsoft network engineer, you will have to be certified by Microsoft. Of course, the more certification you get, the higher your value to the company. It's a sure sign that you are truly interested in what you do.

If you are just starting out, try to focus on just one specific area. Be as specific as you can. Using the same example, if you are going to work with Microsoft, make sure you learn everything you can about Microsoft servers, networks, programming languages etc. before moving on to other areas. It will probably take you years just to become an expert in this area.

In addition, technology has the tendency to evolve very quickly. So you may find yourself not being able to catch up if you try to focus on too many areas. Move on to other areas such as Linux and Unix servers only when you are already very confident with the systems that you are currently working with.

Also, as the market is constantly evolving, it is very important for IT professionals to keep in touch with the latest technology news. The technology that you learn today could be obsolete tomorrow. So be caught with your pants down. Stay ahead of your peers by constantly updating yourself with tech news. You can easily find top quality technology news sites on the Internet. The news will also help you decide on the best certification courses to take. You don't want to be taking an IT course that is heading towards the sunset!

Finally, even with the right certification, you may still face difficulty landing yourself a job. That's because you are competing against others with more experience than you. Start out by offering your services as a freelancer or a part timer, and gain some experience in the industry. You will eventually be able to find a company who favors your persistence and good attitude.

Most RipOffReport.com Complaints Are Fake

Many innocent people and companies find themselves a victim of the website that claims it is ?helping you the consumer?. I don?t think it helps the consumers as much as they ?the consumer using ROR? and ?rip-off report? think. I believe that the ?rip off report? website pledge should be changed to something like ?Helping Destroy Reputations with Lies?. The fact is most of the complaints on small businesses found on the ripoffreport.com website are false, fake, frivolous, unverified, entries.

The problem with the ripoffreport.com website is anyone with an email address that can type a few words can ruin a businesses reputation and business, simply by making up a bunch of negative lies. To top it off the website?s (ripoffreport.com) attitude toward the businesses that are the true victims of these lies seems to be ?There is noting you can do about it? and ?We will never remove a complaint even if we know it is a lie?.

I wanted to test how easy it was to make a fake complaint so I created a false complaint against a name that does not exist online. I searched Google for the name I made up and got zero results. I searched everywhere online and got zero results when searching the name. I then went and create an account simply by verifying my email address. I then posted my little FAKE rant about a lady who was writing bad checks. The person?s name I made up is/was Alley Mandooyee. If you search Google for the name I made up: Alley Mandooyee you will see a RipOffReport.com complaint, you can also see the complaint here on the ripoffreport website (assuming they have not removed it).

See, if it is possible to post a completely fake complaint on a completely fake person, don?t you think it would be very easy to make a fake or false complaint about anyone? This is not good. It is something that thousands abuse and thousands are victims of. There should be some type of guidelines or proof of doing business with someone required in order to post a complaint about them. I mean you can go on there right now and say your postman has been stealing your mail, or your local bakery spits in there baked goods.

How can the complaints on ripoffreport.com be taken seriously, if there is no verification process or proof of the complaint? I understand the concept of consumer complaint sites, but the ROR site is defeating the purpose. The purpose should be to find true and accurate information about companies you plan to do business with. In my opinion RipOffReport.com is worthless to consumers and serves only as a playground for trouble makers and extortionists.

Have you found a complaint about you or your company on RipOffReport.com? We can remove rip off report complaints off of top search engine results.

Do Reputation Management Services Really Work?

Google your name or your company name now. See anything you don't like? If you do, a reputation management firm can help you.

An industry of online reputation fixers like ReputationArmor.com is emerging to defend clients against damaging information on the internet. With more and more potential clients heading online to research products and services, bad reviews or complaints that turn up in a search can mean lost business for your company. Reputation management services promise to create positive pages and bury negative sites and information about your company deep in search results.

Most reputation management services work by tracking what's written about a client on the Web, then doing aggressive search engine optimization and contextual marketing, promoting positive pages, and creating other mini-sites and Blogs that will push damaging information and links off the first pages of search engine results. Reputation Management is another tool companies can use in their PR and marketing efforts.

Many companies sooner or later find themselves on RipOffReport.com, a leading consumer complaint portal where anyone can post anything (negative) about you or your company. The problem is that competitors and people that simply do not like you can create damaging false complaints on Rip Off Report. The website (Rip Off Report) does not verify the information posted online and will never remove anything posted, period.

Many companies listed on RipOffReport.com turn to reputation management to help them push these complaints out of public view. It can cost anywhere from $1000-$5000.00 or more to have these negative results displaced. It is worth it if you are losing sales!

With all of the social networks and complaint portals online today, reputation management services are finding an abundance of new customers. If you find yourself listed on a website with negative information, a reputation management service may be just what you need.
