Hi!
I am in trouble and thought may be someone here can help me out.
I worked for 1.5 years in Microsoft technologies and later for 6 months on
java. After my marriage i have came to South Africa.
As most of you would understand that it takes long to get a job and process work permit in a new country. In the mean time, I am planning to do a Java certification but i know nothing about it.
What i want to know is -
1. How should i prepare, like giving online mock tests etc. Suggest some websites which can be useful for that.
2. Recommendations on books.
3. As i am new to java, How long should i prepare before actually give the exam. What i mean is, I want to know the dificulty level of the exam.
4. Also, I would like to know how do i get vouchers for exams(for SA or India).
5. How much the certification will help in my career?
(Bottom line is - i don't want to sit idle at home and also i don't want my future employer to think that i was doing nothing during the gap period i had in my career)
Hope i am not sounding stupid! Hope someone would be able to help me out!
Thanks in advance,
Divya
