Another few months have passed, and things have changed pretty dramatically for me. Novell was acquired by Attachmate Group in late April, and in early May, I was one of the people who was made redundant.
So I’m now in the market for a new job. I’ve spent the last month taking some online classes and looking at different opportunities. I’ve also been thinking back on my time at Novell and the things I learned about certification, testing, and training. Turns out I’ve learned a lot of new things, and have an appreciation for certification that I didn’t have when I started.
Nothing brought that to the forefront more than an “Ask Slashdot” posting about which certifications are best.
