Gang,
For some unknown reason, I seem to think that an A+ certification will help my current career path (cause machines I can handle, just not generally the operators.). Couple of things I noticed in changes to the A+ certification that I'm just now getting back around to trying to complete:
1. Okay, they changed the tests to be more specific to job areas? Why??!?!? Seems dumb on the surface, but I readily accept that I sound like a stupid customer at this point and just need a rational explanation. Which leads me to
2. WHY THE HECK ARE SOFT SKILLS ON THIS TEST??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! Seriously, how the freak does that prove how good of a tech you are? Is it just me, or does this seriously smell of corporate? Which would you rather have? A surly tech who actually knows things, or a "nice" tech that doesn't?
Mods, if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move. I'm not trying to get in a debate per se, but I want to know if any of the nicer techs have an idea as to why? (Because as we all should know... I'm not exactly the nicest guy when it comes to stupid. I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to it.)
