Product Review
This book serves as a primer on the various certifications Microsoft makes available to those who demonstrate expertise in working with its products. If you work with Microsoft software and you want to turn your working knowledge into a professional credential, MCSE Career Microsoft! shows you the options and explains, to a limited extent, how to proceed.
Jeansonne does not just focus on the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification as the title of this book implies. In these pages, you'll learn about several career tracks in addition to MCSE, including Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD), Microsoft Certified Product Specialist (MCPS), and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT).
Unfortunately, the rundown on each certification is minimal. There's little information about what you'll need to know for the exams, and the author doesn't even outline the tests you must pass to achieve each rating. Instead, he provides general platitudes about how great it is to hold a Microsoft certification, interspersed with interviews with actual professionals. Aside from that, this book contains mostly commonsense career advice ("Read technical journals;" "Go to trade shows"). If you're serious about a Microsoft certification, this book won't help you much.
