What's the most popular site (not technet) learn and find employ with Microsoft Technologies?By Mandrex

That's 2 separate items -- Learning something never guarantees job placement. Colleges are being sued because of promises of job placement upon graduation. You can goto places like Global Knowledge or self-study from books at your local library to reading Technet. You can use CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice, local recruiters, etc to find MS employments.

In addition to Technet I routinely read these sites for tech stuff http://www.msexchange.org/ http://www.windowsnetworking.com/ http://www.windowsecurity.com/ http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/ For job hunting I use www.dice.com and www.monster.com

I have taught Microsoft Certification courses for many years. I believe that the best approach with the most success is for the student to buy a copy of the Microsoft Training kit such as the one listed below and to run labs in a virtual environment using Virtual PC or VMWare workstation. Then, if you are interested in employment, try to get some experience in an Enterprise environment as a field tech, Service Desk technician, or even become an intern to get some exposure. There is no need to spend a lot of money on training materials and it really doesn't take that much time to get yourself knowledgeable enough to begin working in the field. MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

I would have to agree going to some certification classes are good but actually doing the things that need to be done within a test environment gives you more information then reading a book. You should read Training kits from MS but make sure you do the exercises.
