                  This is my 2 nd blog I have done, and my 13 th blog post I have ever done, did one a week in my previous class here at Bellevue. I would say I have some knowledge about the Network+ and Network models from my previous college. At Southeast Tech we got to work on all sorts of network equipment and troubleshoot it as well. We worked on servers, routers, switches, access points, and more. We got to build networks on server racks and ping and use all sorts of commands, so I have a nice background with information, and I am excited to learn more about that as well as the Network+ certification and what it takes to get that.

                 I really liked this assignment because it gave me the opportunity to write about a topic of my choice regarding the week’s assignments. I work as a technical support specialist, so I think doing research on different information technology subjects helped me learn better and faster in my current position. I would have to say I could see myself blogging in the future, I think it helps bounce ideas of different people in the world and in my field. I find myself reading a lot of blogs and going down rabbit holes about new technology and advances in security. I am not sure for my current position this would benefit me advancing since where I am at you learn a lot with hands on experience. But I would say for other companies I could see where they would want to see this in the hiring process, simply because it could show that you know how to find information and talk and relate to people.
