Hi everybody,
I've passed the scjp with a score of 71%.(and I did not found any job!!!)
Now to improve my chance to find a job, I want to try the SCJD!!!
I have some question about it!!!
Where can i found some documentation (in french if possible).
I've read somewhere that I have to download the test. So may I pass the test from home???
If you have some information plz give it to me!!!

Bonjour.
Je parle francais en peu. Mais, n'est pas bien. Le Certification n'est guarantee employe. Mais, il est bonn pour votre resume.
How's that, I probably made lots of mistakes.
The developer exam is an assignment. I am not sure if they even give the documentation for the test in french, but they should.
You might want to try doing a search on google to see where you might get documentation in French. Don't some browsers also support converting other languages into French, and the other way around?
As I said in the beginning certification cannot guarantee a job. You must still present yourself well to get hired. Experience is a key factor in hiring, more then certification. Certification only enhances your resume, and makes you feel good

Thx for your reply!!!
How can I get experienced without being hired before???
Working on some project by myself?

But thx for the reply

The developer certification will give you some experience with some of the standard packages.
Also try to write other types of applications. Learn Servlets, they are pretty easy and create a Web App, that you can point employers to so they can see work done.
You can also run apps from a laptop on the interview. You need to be forceful in interviews to show you have good experience without actually had been hired before, but by showing your code and such you can show your experience.
Good Luck.

Mostly RMI, Swing and the core Java classes including Collections.
