Question Is LFCS valued? In comparison to other certs and Where to get experience


I've been out of school for some time doing tech support but I am finally going back to the grind and get some certs.

So as my first cert is the LFCS worth getting or is it better to get others?

What do you think?

As of now, I find it extremely difficult to find any Linux related job even at the junior level as most of them require at least 2 years of experience doing linux administration.

which brings me to: What would be the best way to get a job related to it? It seems that employers are not very welcoming if you do not have any work experience related to Linux.

Hi...

Welcome to the forum

Funny, I was looking at this article right before I saw your post.

However, system administration is not my field, so I will leave it to members here who are (system administrators) to answer your question in more detail.

Regards...

Don't know if it's valuable, but I plan on taking it when I get my bonus in 2016, if for no other reason to add to my cert list at work.

Honestly only the Red Hat Certs along with the SAN Unix/Linux security certs are only worth it. Everything else is a waste of time and paper.

Best advice that I've gotten is look at what job postings are asking for or looking for and work towards that.

About to finish my LFCS course and now I am wondering if the course they offer is enough to pass their exam because it feels too short/simple.
