weightage to my resume...Once again thanks for the guidance.
do you have a laptop/netbook?
+1 on this. Nothing beats getting hands-on experience. Investing money in
hardware is a better option than joining a training course. Get a system, if you
already have one, get another :)
...or since you mentioned you were interested in networking, search ebay or
something similar for cheap second hand routers[1] and start hacking. For
instance, installing and configuring and managing (for example implementing
traffic shaping or security) using OpenWRT or Tomato (or any one of these[2]) on
an old wireless router can be a learning and gratifying experience which would
never be taught in any training course.
If you already have hardware or if you /do/ want to join a course, I'd suggest
taking up a hobby class instead. Expanding your field of interests helps in many
subtle ways, including career progression.
