Why Should I Get CompTIA Linux+

You get the industry brand recognition that comes with CompTIA. Many IT managers and human resources departments are very familiar with CompTIA certifications – they know that if the certification ends with a + symbol, it’s a good skills benchmark.

The added focus on security, troubleshooting, server configuration and cloud computing better aligns to the job roles that require proficiency in those areas, compared to other, similar Linux certifications on the market.

For most jobs involving Linux and/or UNIX, CompTIA Linux+ is the only Linux certification that you will need, as it covers the general administration tasks that most organizations seek when hiring for Linux/UNIX administration positions. Advanced topic areas not tested on Linux+ often involve specialized configuration that is specific to a particular organization and Linux distribution or UNIX flavor. Those who have a working knowledge of the general administration concepts tested on CompTIA Linux+ can easily research and perform these advanced configuration tasks as necessary.
Give honest yet constructive feedback.

Perhaps you felt a few steps in the onboarding process were confusing, or that interns had little direction. Perhaps you had hoped there would be a different way to communicate with other departments or hoped to see how programs were developed. All of it is helpful—if delivered properly and politely. Letting the HR department know of small things that could make a big difference would be helpful to their future internship program. Present the information graciously and without judgment, but framed as areas of improvement is not only helpful to the company, but good practice for you for learning to communicate constructive criticism in the future.
