Hi, can anyone tell me what Microsoft exam better to take first to get better chance to find a job and of course i will get credit toward MCSE. I had 3 years of desktop and sys admin exp., but i stop working in that field in 2000 and never work and look into that field till today. Pleas help me from your expirience which exam is better to take first, so i would have better chance on finding a job. I didn have any certifications priviously. I was doing all aspects of sys admin work and was good at it. Thank

As u have to take 4 core exams (plus 3 electives), I would start with the one that has most interest for u and see how u get on with it. Maybe Exam 70–270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional would be a good choice. Going for a specialist qualification, like Cisco is often recommended. Once u get a few MCP's and maybe some other qualifications like a Diploma or ECDL (very easy), coupled with lots of experience repairing PC's, u can start bombarding all ur local computer companies with ur CV. With luck u may be offered a job before u even get ur MCSE. (and yes - I'm talking from experience here lol) Good luck
