Job oportunities as a SCJP?

I am an MIS major (a junior) who is fairly skilled as a Java programmer. I was wondering what my job opportunities would be if I were to become a certified Java Programmer while still in college. I have a year and a half left until I get my degree so I'll need a part time job in order to allow myself to study and attend class.
So basically what I'm asking is: What do you think my chances are of landing a part-time programming job a a SCJP without a college degree?

the first benifit of certification is that, you will be much more comfortable with java after study for certification and it could help you in job also. may be after degree,may be now.but certainly you will gain something instead of losing . yeah I've seen people getting benefits of certification. tags are always good.

  • JAVA Fresher-Should I join Sun Authorised learning Centre?

    Hello friends,
    I m a BCA Graduated in 2004 from India. I have 2 years of experience as Web Developer(PHP). Due to Family problems I could not go for regular MCA. Presently persuing MCA from ICFAI, Tripura first Semester. But I m not able to get any job in Big IT Giants like Infosys, TCS as these companies don't have requirements for PHP Developers and to join as a fresher I m not eligible to apply as I m 2004 passout and these companies demand atleast 2005 passout.
    Therefore I m thinking of migrating to JAVA. I don't know ABC of JAVA. There are a number of local institutes teaching JAVA for 10k-15K INR in Delhi/NCR region and providing fake experience certificate for 2 years in JAVA to me as I have 2 years of industry experience.
    I need help from all experienced people out there. Should I join a local institute or should I go for Sun authorised learning Centre?
    I know about one Authorised learning Centre, SQLStar International. They charge around 33000 INR for 256 hrs of training to be completed in 64 working days. They claim that their training prepares a person for SCJP and SCWCD exam cost of which is 7200 Per Exam.
    So total cost is 33000 + 7200 + 7200 = 47400 INR
    Please tell me if its a right decision to spend this much amount on training and certification?
    Does it make any difference while on a Job Hunt if you are trained from a Authorised learning Centre or a local centre?
    Will it be easy to get job after this training and certification?
    If someone want, I can mail him/her couse contents of SQLStar and a local Institute for comparison.
    Please guys I need honest advice.
    Thankyou all for your time and efforts.

    Hi, my name is Jeffry (Indonesia)
    Actually, if you can do self-study, you can do self learning with java book, after that, you can submit E-practice Exam for scjp, and then you take the exam
    If the employer has a choice, he or she will choose the job seeker with the SCJP certification.
    Sun microsystems created the Java technology, of course their training courses support for the material covered in any certification exam such as SCJA, SCJP, SCJD, SCMAD, etc.
    I already get certified in 27 August 2007, in my experience, I studied so many Java books, and then I took SL-275 training, E-practice exam, and the the SCJP exam. That's all that I can do to share my experience, the choice is yours. When you passed the exam, don't forget to share experience and score (if you want to share your score, my score is 68%)

  • Is the SCJA certification required before you can be SCJP certified?

    Hello,
    my question is, do I have to be SCJA certified before taking the SCJP test?
    And if it is not required, do you suggest that I take SCJA anyway? It seems to me that if you're SCJP certified, then chances are you probably already know the Associate stuff.
    Thanks!

    You don't need to do SCJP before SCJA
    One thing I've seen is people doing SCJP on 1.4, which is an easier exam than 1.5, with a lower passing score (52%).
    Then, you get your SCJA on Java 1.5, which is the only version it is currently out on. Then you can brag about being certified by Sun on both Java 1.4 and Java 1.5. It looks great on a resume, especially if you're looking for a Java job.
    As far as SCJA mock exams go, or even some free tutorials on how to get Sun Java Certified, check out the following links:

  • Is SCJP 2 criteria is good???

    What you people think that is SCJP criteria is good. I raised this question because I faced some interesting situation.
    Do you believe that a person is SCJP but he cannot do programming. This is becoming popular in INDIA and now in PAKISTAN that people start their programming by starting preparation of SCJP and they do SCJP in 4 or 6 months! how, they learn every thing in 4 or 6 months and cleared in exam. So they don't know how to do programming. If you are programmer than you would have some idea that programming and certification are different thing, but unfortunately SCJP is becoming the standard and person who clear SCJP other expect that he is good programmer and he get job. Do you believe that in PAKISTAN 12 year older girl cleared SCJP, isn't amazing thing which shows that child is a good programmer. Now the question here is that should SUN change the SCJP criteria like SCJD and SCEA where there is a programming assignment and test.
    I think that there must be some programming assignment and test to check the programming as well as the knowledge of Core java.

    The SCJP isn't much of a benchmark for the quality of a developer, more for the quality of their memory. The SCJD is a better test as it requires some true development. The reality is that someone with no verifiable experience and certifcation is NOT a valid candidate if you expect them to actually develop something of value for you. A simple test can on ly go so far.

  • SCJP Certification.  Available on-line?

    I have a job offer that is contingent upon my successful completion of the SCJP exam (WGS-PREX-JO55C). The prospective employer has asked that I get back to them ASAP regarding my testing status, but I have a couple of questions that must be answered first. I was hoping to get the answers here. Thanks in advance. ... nsd
    1. Can I take the exam on-line or must I schedule an exam time at an
    official testing site? If on-line, can I take the test immediately if I
    choose?
    2. When and how will I know the results of the test?
    3. Is there a way that others can verify my exam results on-line (without
    having to wait for results via regular mail) ?
    4. If I fail the exam, when can I retake it?

    > 1. Can I take the exam on-line or must I schedule an
    exam time at an official testing site?
    You must schedule a time.
    2. When and how will I know the results of the test?
    Immediately upon completion of the test.
    > 3. Is there a way that others can verify my exam
    results on-line (without having to wait for results via regular mail) ?
    Yes, but you'll also walk out of the exam center with certified results. Online confirmation through Sun is available within a few days, I believe.
    > 4. If I fail the exam, when can I retake it?
    Two weeks or more after your failure.

  • What's the difference between the SCJA and the SCJP?

    I'm taking the Sun Certified Java Associate exam 1.0 in September, and I'm wondering if I will be able to get a job doing java after this or if I will need to get the SCJP cert.
    Can anyone tell me what the difference in the exams are, if there is one?

    Very helpful Jwenting. When I rule the world, you
    will be the first victim of my destructive rampage.
    Your world is a fantasy, therefore it doesn't affect me (and with me all of reality reality) in the slightest.
    In the real world SCJA is as I described, a dumbed down certification for people incapable of passing the real thing (and that one's pretty darn easy).
    But go on, conquer your fantasyworld if you're capable.
    Maybe you'll instead destroy it and wake up to something that's more real.

  • Certification != to a job ?

    Hello Everyone...
    I am a student trying to break into the IT field. I'm really interested in Java, for several reasons. I've been taking mostly java classes and I have really no other direction at this point. So, last month I decided to get the SCJA. I did. I didn't expect the job offers to come in, but experience seems to be the main requirement for any position. I plan on getting the SCJP later this month (I need to prepare, but I know most of the info already). My question is : If I acquire the SCJP in addition to the SCJA would there be an entry to junior level market for me to find a job. Or am I just SOL until I complete my B.S in Computer Science (which will be a minute because I work fulltime as well).
    Does anyone else have this problem or is it only for those of who are relatively new to this field? I only see 5+ yrs exper. J2EE jobs... never anything I could be remotely qualified for...
    I have a few other certifications (a+, network+) which wound up not being the job magnets that they were made out to be. I'm just wondering if certifying with no (on job) experience will help me or am i just throwing away $$$ on certifications that will not allow me to better my circumstances.
    Thanks and Sorry for the Ramble.........
    Jamod
    Any suggestions - I'm open. Thanks

    search. It just seems that there is no way intothis
    industry.
    It is getting tougher in the US and western Europe
    now that most entry level work has been shipped to
    low wage countries like Bangladesh, India, Bulgaria,
    and Romania.
    But that's been met with a sharp decline in people
    actually deciding to start in the field, so the
    number of applicants per entry level job shouldn't be
    too much higher than they used to be.I don't know. From the bozos I've interviewed lately with impressive looking resumes but nothing with which to back them up, I get the impression that there are a lot of dingleberries from the dot-com meltdown still swirling around the bowl.
    They get some experience under their belts during the time when dot-companies were hiring anybody that could more or less spell Java. Then they use that to leverage a couple more years of drifting from one job they're not qulaified for to another. Finally they end up across the table from me, interviewing for a Senior Developer position but unable to explain anything about GC, static methods, or package-level access.
    With all that cruft in the pool, and the dot-com leftover recruiters who only know buzzwords but don't know dicksquat about the industry, I can see why it'd be hard for a needle with knowledge but no experience to stand out in the haystack of retards with 15 failed dot-coms on their resumes but no actual abilities.
    Not meaning to paint a bleak picture for the OP, just laying out what I think he's up against.

    Hi,
    It seems that the issue is in the timer job definition for executing this operation.
    My suggestion is to start the service again and delete the job definition from the error and again try to stop it.
    This might be helpful:
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/22368/is-there-a-powershell-cmdlet-to-delete-a-timer-job 
    I had a lot of issues in the past when try to stop this instance after the Web apps are provisioned.
    As general rule now If I have multi-server Farm topology that has servers that should not serve Web App requests I turn off the service prior to provisioning any Web Apps in the Farm.

    Hi Rajani.
      ALV require the DRYPOR(screen) for display but incase you run in back ground which have to write to spool but in spool we can only write in format of LIST REPORT not inter-active report like ALV. That why
    system cancelled your process immediately.
    Hope it helps.

  • Report Job was cancelled upon user request???

    Hi,
    My reports take more than 10 minutes to complete, most times I get
    "Report Job was cancelled upon user request".
    error, how to fix this problem? Is there any time limit inside the report I can set.
    Thanks

    hi ,
    There is no limit on the report run time. The most probable reason why you are getting the 'Report cancelled upon user request' message is the users might have hit the "cancel Report" button which is displayed when it is running in 'SYNCHRONOUS MODE'. do not hit that button as it will terminate the report. to increase the speed of returning the results by the report, try improving the sql that you use in the report, or if you have DBA rights try adding in INDEXES on the columns of the tables used by the report.
    Hope this helps

  • Report for cancelled jobs

    Hi ,
    I have a requirement in which I have to create a report that should pickup all the cancelled CRM marketing jobs (due to whatever reason) based on on job name, copy them and restart them.
    In your selection screen, you will give the cancelled job name (wildcard acceptable..like ZE00*) and a radio button to show the cancelled job list and copy the jobs.
    Could anyone guide me on how to go ahead with this report?
    Regards,
    Mohit

    Hi,
    in table TBTCO and TBTCP you have all jobs with current status. You can search them by name.
    Selected jobs you can "popup_with_table" FM. Then you need to use fm to submit job in ackground;
    'JOB_OPEN', 'JOB_SUBMIT' and 'JOB_CLOSE'.
    Good luck !
