Just don’t rely on certifications to get you where you want/need to be. There’s much, much more to the equation as I talk about here and here as well as in this recent rant:

Be wary of the “certified” IT pro

Best of luck!!

I definitely agree with Yasirirfan that you can’t hurt yourself with more Cisco Certifications or any certifications for that matter. All you are going to do is expand your knowledge base and grow as a reliable and knowledgeable technician. Look at the CCNA Voice as he said and pursue that certification. I have known many people with CCNA Voice who have gone on to have great and rewarding careers in the telecom industry.
