Should i apply for computer jobs while doing a course ?

Hi, All
I am 33 years old and currently doing a (labourer / bricky job). I have been working computers for a few years now. The programs that i have used are vs.net 2002 / 2005 versions (c# language windows forms), also used sql server 2000 / 2005. My current commerical experience is 6 months helping out on a project. After doing this work i could not get the job i wanted unless i got myself a cert, at this present moment i am studying for (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist Qualification) for windows forms. My question is do i apply for jobs while doing the course or wait untill i get my cert ?. The other question i have doing a course while working full time only gives me about 20 hrs a week on the course, should i do this full time to get my cert quick if so is there any financial backing i can get ?.

Many Thanks

Kered

You should start looking for a job now only, you can also try to work as a freelance programmers. Just register in few freelance websites.

Yes of course. You can search and apply for jobs while studying. Now a days most of the people are searching for jobs. In this competitive world it is very difficult to get a good job as we expect. I found that many job sites are also available who provide a good service fro th job seekers and the job providers. I knew a good job site who provide a good service for the applicants and the recruiters. They are specialized in matching the employees and the employers. They are the NO.1 online source for jobs in cloud computing and software services. I got a good job for my career with the help of them.
