The guy neva see beta winch.

I recently had to deliver training to staff of one of our partner companies, and during the course of this training, someone asked: "How do you structure your presentations? Can you give some tips?"

At this point I knew I had to give a quick response and "package" my answer; and this led me to the following points:

1. Simplicity: A good presentation should have that quality of simplicity. Don't pack your talk with too much information and ideas.

2. Keep it clear: Explain the topic as you would to a beginner. This goes a long way in keeping your audience interested; as they would all want to hear the next thing you have to say.

3. Talk more and read less: Every good presentation is interactive. Reading out content directly from books or slides during a class gives the impression that you are not well prepared.

4. Don't rush: Trying to beat time usually leads to rushing. You can easily overcome this by rehearsing your presentation before the class. Preparation is key.

5. Use slides: Some may not totally agree with this, but I feel that using slides helps to provide a backbone for the class. It's a lot easier to keep yourself in check, especially if you've digressed a bit in order to drive home a point (usually answering students' questions) and give that training session a good structure.

6. Keep it lively: Study your audience and taking note of body language is a very vital part of every presentation. I usually take time out (a few minutes) to crack a joke and keep everyone in tune, as we proceed from there.

I felt very comfortable with my answer to that question, and I hope you do too.

At some point in your life, you are bound to find yourself in a position where you have to deliver presentations, and so much would be expected of you. I hope this points help you.

What other tips would you recommend?

OH, it has been educative ? Well, thanks to the guys who've been helping out. I am actually happy to see individuals take up the task and enlightening others. I'd sincerely urge you to do the same for others.
Yes, the DHCP binding command does not work on PT but If I remember correctly show ip nat translations and dhcp conflict works. And yes, I'm CCNA certified. I'll be CCNP soon but I'm putting that project on hold for now.
MCSA and CCNA - Awesome.

Nice answer man. However, I advice you try and do your CCNP soon so you don't lose interest. As for the guy with the ios issues for GNS. I have valid images that will work without any problems at all. Just send me a mail and I'll share them with you. ogali.sunday@gmail.com

tunde4top:
My greeting goes to everybody on this great thread. i have been studying materials on ccna for up to like 2years now. I have finished many versions of sybex materials, and some video materials. I can use cisco packet tracer to some reasonable extent. I think i should now go for the exam. I will need a latest dumb to finalize my exam preparation. My question now are these. With the rise in naira to dollar now, what is now the new charge for the ccna exam fee in naira ?. what are the steps needed for the payment, and info on exam centres ?

Send me a mail my company is licensed for proctoring international exams. ogali.sunday@gmail.com

Thanks for the reply man. A friend of mine told me something quite close to this. He said with a networking cert its better to walk into companies (ISPs especially) and apply rather than wait for the online adverts because 70% of networking jobs aren't advertised. I'm currently preparing to take the CCNA soon but I already have 8 months experience as an intern at an IT firm. I've read many materials and spent many hours labbing on PT so I feel good about my chances but then I can't seem to shake off this voice in my head that says I should enrol for CCNA at a training centre regardless, maybe just to see if I can learn something I don't already know. What would you advise? Should I just focus on dumps and my self study or join the class instead considering that would be another financial sacrifice? Thanks.

Humbling yourself is the first way to start learning. Never assume you already know too much. I advice you find a way to gain certifications so you can be considered for bigger opportunities.

Let's put on our thinking caps..

Mods can try too..

My first FTC ever! I dedicate this to all the real naija men in the house.

DanIndia:
I totally agreed with line in bold.
How are you liking your job ? Is it fun ? Tell us about something you've messed up/fixed hehe. OH, this one no be interview o.

Ha-ha... It's been quite challenging, but very interesting too. Haven't messed up anything yet, but I've been opportuned to fix a few problems. From my experience so far, I've learnt that a well built network will save you a lot of stress.

Either you kill me, or i kill you buy someone must die

NoriegaQ:
I'm really enthusiastic about the network engineering career path but then I have some questions. What are the prospects of a Cisco career path in the current Nigerian labour market? The reports I'm getting have been conflicting. Recently met a guy who has CCNP and still can't find a job + a guy with CCNA who is jobless too. Some people also vouch that at least with a CCNA you'd definitely get a job in the IT industry. How true is this? Please this question goes to @sundayslim and the house generally.

Getting a good job with your certifications depends on you as a person. When I got my CCNP, I didn't get a job immediately. I had to learn how to properly package myself in my CV. That was when I got the job. Some people still don't know how to write good CVs. However, you don't just go online and apply for jobs like everyone else. I got my job by walking into the company and speaking with the HR personnel. They admired my courage because I told them that the company needs a young and skilled professional like me who has ideas to offer. I got called later, passed the interview and today I'm working with good pay. 100k to start, 120k after 6 months. Other benefits are available. It's just about being creative in your packaging and being confident, and that differs from person to person.

Guys, simply send me an email and I'll send you the materials in response. ogali.sunday@gmail.com

How do I get certified in CCNA

It's easy. You can take classroom training or through self study. If you're considering self study, I can provide you with materials, as well as guide you on your way up.

Most people want to break into the IT world, and it is no news that professional certifications are the way forward. Here are some relevant paths to follow as far as Nigeria is concerned:

1. N+, CCNA, CCNP, MCSA, MCSE, CEH, CISA, PMP
This path is very important for those looking to be successful in computer networking and information security. Notice that I didn't include CCIE? In as much as that is a strong certification to have, your years of experience will be better appreciated when you've been in the field for long. One major area you can make the most money is project management. With your PMP, you can effectively handle IT projects and this is really the start of consulting for you. Companies can pay as much as 2 million monthly if you're an in-house consultant.

2. A+, CCNA, MCSA, CSCU, P+
Okay, this path is not as tedious as the first, but still gives the holder a strong skill set even at affordable training costs. For those who don't know, CSCU is a certification from EC-council that tilts towards the security line. P+ is a project management certification from comptia.
This certification path is for those who do not have a very solid background in IT, and want to remain relevant in the field, while preparing to take on bigger certifications in the future.

3. CSCU, CCNA, CCNP, CEH, CISA, CISSP
Okay, this path is a strong security track that helps the holder to head security departments in an IT setup. Somewhere among these, CCNP and CCNP security is adviced. I couldn't put it in because it depends on how deep the holder intends to go.

4. MTA, MCSA, MCSE, RHCE
This track is for system administrators. Having a good combination of system administration skills using Windows and Linux platforms will send a strong message to potential employers.


There are quite a lot of other options to take, but I'll limit it to these four, so that other professionals can make suggestions via comments.

I also advice you to be multi skilled, as that's what most Nigerian companies want.
I currently have the following:
CCNA, CCNP, MOS

Currently on my MCSA and MTCNA(mikrotik)

It really helped. You explained the concept so well that I had no other option than to understand. Thanks so much.

Nice explanation, however, the aim of summarization is not to conserve IP addresses but to optimize routing table entries.
