Many people that participate in the Cisco exam with unpractical expectations often end in failure. Before to participate in the certification exams, many people will have the following expectations:

• Passing CCNP certification exam is the only way to get a job in the IT industry,
• CCNP certification is my golden key to success;
• To be CCNP certified will get my dream job;
• CCNP certification is the industry rules of IT industry,
• CCNP is a gold mine.

Does CCNP certification really have such great power? Maybe it is the mistaken concept of the certification that contributes to such unpractical expectations.

In fact, the certification examinations, Cisco 642-845 for example, is used for examining software knowledge, logic thinking and problem solving ability of examinee, but what all the employers and clients want is rich experiences and skills. But a certificate exam certainly will not increase your practical experience.

Further more, 642-845 is mainly concerned with technical skills, you can not able to acheive success in the IT industry only by skill. Therefore, to be successful in the IT industy, you need to be a skilled staff with more other knowlege, such as knowledge of interpersonal relationship, negociation skills, team work, ect.

In conclusion, before entering for the certificate examination, you should take a careful consideration, and make sure that you have enough time and references to prepare for it and get through. You can obtain the useful experiences from the mass media, the internet, or even from your leader.
