I’m looking to get the A+ and Networking certs only because I’ll probably be laid off soon and I want to make myself even more marketable. Right now I’m a software developer with 8 years of Java experience, and from my initial studying I think the certifications shouldn’t be too hard.

However, I may not have the time (or money) to make multiple attempts, so I was wondering if anyone had any good resources tailored to folks who are already technical to help me study.

I know some folks might say I don’t need them, but my resume needs more buzzwords to get picked up by recruiters and hiring managers, and I’m open to all kinds of work as long as it keeps a roof over my family’s head.

    Really just any job, the A+ idea was a back up plan at best, and at worst just another buzzword to get my resume picked by automation

      Maybe try for something more appropriate for your experience so far that demonstrates you branching out into higher skills. CKAD for example.
