The CompTIA A+ Computing Technology Industry Association Certification 220-1101 & 220-1102 Study Guide - Expanded Edition: Proven Methods to Pass the Exam with Confidence - Practice Test with Answers

Here’s why getting your CompTIA A+ alone won’t get you a job in IT.If you want to figure out how you can use this knowledge to your advantage — before spending all your time and money preparing for the exam — then start by asking yourself this.

If you were hiring for someone to join your IT department, do you know what you’d look for in a candidate?

Would you give someone a job simply based on whether they had just one certificate?

Wouldn’t you want to see if they could actually handle the job you’re hiring them for before making an offer?

Despite what you may have heard about switching careers into IT… getting your A+ will only get you so far.

In fact, it might not get you anywhere — at least, not anywhere close to the kind of job offer you want.

There are over 1 million IT professionals with A+ certifications, according to CompTIA.

Which means if you want to stand out from all the other candidates you’re competing with… and make it hard for employers to say “no” to you… then passing your A+ exam isn’t going to be enough.

So instead of helping recruiters fill their quotas… and stressing out over not having found a job months after the exam… you can turn your A+ certification into a bargaining chip that helps you fast-track your transition into IT.

And that’s what makes this book different from all the other A+ study guides out there. On top of showing you how to ace the exam with ease, it also offers tips on what to do after you’ve earned your certification.

Even if you have no prior IT experience, there are still plenty of ways getting CompTIA A+ certified can help you launch a long-term career — and one that actually pays off.

So if you’re done working dead-end jobs… and want to make sure you get the most out of your A+ certification…then this is your book.
