Expert Review

I was a Red Hat certified system administrator (RHCSA) for some time and wanted to get promoted to the next level. However, all my attempts to get promoted were failing then I thought of taking the RHCE certification. I was amazed at the kind of knowledge and exposure this certification gave me. It indeed took my knowledge to the next level. Soon after completing the RHCE I was promoted and became a senior system administrator. I also got offers from many other companies who wanted to hire me for my knowledge and expertise.
