Strategy Insight from Ben Ng
I was a little jealous because my friend Roger won a hat from the “Ask the Expert” forum on Cisco’s site. So I wrote Ben Ng a note on the forum – not asking for a hat, but running some strategy questions by him.
This is what I asked:
Ben,
In your opinion, when do you “know” that you’re ready to take the lab? There’s a plethora of Cisco documents to review, hands-on training to get, etc. For someone like me who is having to shell out the money myself (going on $10k without booking the lab), how do you know? What can a candidate use to gauge his confidence level?
I know some guys have the mindset that they’ll take it once, expecting to fail. Most of those guys are probably getting it paid for by their employer. For guys like me, who want to take the lab (and actually have a chance of passing the first time), what would you say? Any sagely words of wisdom?
