The Lady Programmer

Undoubtedly, getting Cisco certification is a must-have to those who need professional advancement in Information Technology. I’ve been considering getting Cisco training at one point in time, but during that time somehow trainings are not easily accessible in my country (the Philippines). If there is, then it is not really easy to pay for such trainings using a personal budget, and it is often that the employer pays the employee to obtain such training. This was years back when I was still employed in the IT department of a famous military institution in my country.

Cisco certified IT personnel is pretty much in demand locally and I often run into friends who landed on higher paying overseas jobs. I have recently mentioned that Cisco-certified skills get high paychecks and the yearly average still gets even higher.

Cisco Learning Network offers comprehensive training in various Cisco topics. Training starts with a course on IP Networking, which leads to other advanced courses that will help further enhance the foundation of Cisco skills. The CCNA Wireless is one of the hot courses in demand because of the technological trend toward using wireless facilities, so it is often wise to choose this course (at the beginning) to meet the market job demand for this skill before others get to know such demand and follow.

Connect to Cisco Learning Network now to meet other professionals and learn further keep abreast of the latest trend in this technology. This learning network is one great way to connect to other Cisco professionals to advance in one’s career.

I am one of the more 8 million Mozilla Firefox fans who flocked into the Mozilla site to download the newest version at the most awaited Download Day 2008 which bloggers widely talked about. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox version 3.0 and I was surprised not to encounter errors in downloading files though. I got into the site and I was able to download the file.

Let me flaunt my successful participation in this great download day:
To those who are not still familiar with this browser (I doubt it), there are Mozilla Firefox free download sites to try and check out this great browser. I have not switched back to using Internet Explorer because this browser loads up fast in my computer. I really like the innovative tabbed browsing which keeps my taskbar tray organized.

I am into Information Technology and to really progress through the IT career, knowledge of new technologies is very important. Certifications taken years back may not be useful anymore, due to the surge of new computer technologies that are constantly being introduced in the IT world. The IT is different from other occupation in the sense that certifications always keep the IT professionals abreast with the latest technologies.

Getting a Cisco certification could really be worth pursuing for those whose IT jobs are pretty much related to this profession. According to PayScale.com, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) whose work is into network administration, their median salary is $50,376 in the US. TCPmag.com has also stated that CCNA workers get an average of $76,500 in 2006 to 2007 – a rise from the average of $60,000 in 2004. Cisco trained personnel are indeed one of the most sought after jobs because there are only a few who are certified enough to maintain and setup computers and machines that power up the backbone of the internet.

One can get a head start in Cisco training through Cisco Learning Network. Cisco Learning Network has all the necessary Cisco training that it can offer – from IP networking to more advanced courses such as Advanced Routing and Switching, Security and Wireless LAN. CCNA Wireless network is one hot occupation – this is truly the trend that the world tries to adapt and Cisco Learning Network discusses the reasons about this growing need for Cisco skills.

I’ve been seeing this in my Payoneer account lately: load money with Western Union. I’ve seen this while I was doing a fund transfer from Paypal to Payoneer account. This is a new option that was not available before.

Before Western Union is available, Payoneer cards are usually loaded using US bank accounts and credit cards. I have not tried any of these to load my card – I often got it loaded through Paypal transfers and earnings from several freelance sites.

Western Union transfers are currenly available only in the US. I hope this gets to be available in the Philippines too.
