Hi everyone! Long time without a post!
I am currently looking at being released from my current contract position and as such am looking for a new job.
I am having trouble geting a new job because everyone is asking for RSLogix5000 (ControlLogix) programming experience and all I have been programming are Automation Direct plcs.
I have programmed SLC-500's in the past with RSLogix 500 but it has been a while.
The question I have is this: should I think about getting RSLogix5000 certification? I asked around with the programmers that are here and none of them even heard of certification.
Of course this is a tricky decision: the Cert will probably cost +$2k and I will not have a job starting next week. I already put down $1300 last summer for the RSLogix CD Training course last summer and that does not seem to make a difference.
It is really bugging me because I know I can code if given a couple of weeks to familiarize myself with the software...
Anyway, thanks in advance for any responses,
Bob
