Many persons who participated in the CompTIA certification exam holding unrealistic expectations usually got a frustrated ending. Before participating in the certification exam, many people have the following expectations:

• Passing CompTIA Network+ certification exam is the only way to get a job in the IT industry,
• CompTIA Network+ certification is the golden key to the success;
• To be CompTIA Network+ certified will get my dream job;
• CompTIA Network+ is the rule of IT industry;
• CompTIA Network+ certification is a big golden mine....

Does the CompTIA Network+ certification really have such a big function? Maybe one has unrealistic expectations because he misunderstands the certification.

In fact, the certification exams, for example CompTIA n10-003, is used to assess candidate's knowledge about a certain software, logical thinking ability as well as ability of problem solving, but almost all the clients and employers want you to have sufficient experience and skills. And the certification examinations are not working experiences.

In addition, n10-003 mainly focus on the technological skills, while it’s impossible for you to achieve success in IT industry merely by skills. Therefore, in order to be successful in the IT industry, you not only need to master certain skills, but also need more other knowledge like interpersonal relationship, negotiation skills, teamwork and so on.

In a word, you should think before leap, and make sure that you have sufficient time and resources to fulfill the exam. You can obtain the useful experiences from the mass media, the internet, or even from your leader.
