Keep Career Track in Mind When Choosing What IT Certification to Pursue

The current economic situation has fueled increased competition in the high tech job market. In response, the industry's top IT talent are realizing that in order to stay relevant and up-to-par, they need to keep their skills up-to-date. One popular strategy IT pros are utilizing to counter this challenge is to pursue IT certifications.

Some argue that taking a vendor specific IT certification course is best while others recommend a more vendor neutral approach.
