How hard is it to land the job after the certification? I have been looking to get entry level and it tough in the field hahaha...

And, I met this old white guy who talks about getting certification after working in the field like 2 decades. I asked how the heck did he get the job without any certification and then he said that someone he knew in the field got him in the job. His job was to manage routers and switches. Some lucky guy like him even gets by without certification and do the real jobs and here we're struggling to get the edge even after certifications. Phew...

@ vlan & Jerry thx....as of now m trying for NA if all goes well ll shoot for NP...
@64..isn't that something, i often encounter ppl like that and tell myself why not me...well may be one day....

Hi daru,hope u don't mind me asking this but where are you located at? In the city where I currently live there are some boot camps to help you pass the test...I was thinking about joining them...how long do u think u need to study before u can take the test..cisco says this is for so.e one with a 1 and half years of networking experience

If u just need a certification -cbt nugggets+gns3+dumps is enough. If you want to go in depth use ine ccnp videos with gns3. If you want to go further study cbt nuggets and ine ccie videos. You should atleast go through routing videos ccie from cbt nuggets and ine(if you have time), if u want to start your career in cisco networkig. Good luck!!

@Dark...thats the goal...lets c

on the side make sure you grasp the concepts well, be it cisco or other vendors concepts is the same everywhere.

If any of you guys have a lead on 1099 type job (not W2) in networking (cisco related, working remotely/VPN), I would like to know.

Done with CCNA...now preparing for CCNP,any body have dumps and nuggets,m having tough time getting it..Thx in adv.

preferably Switch,,,thx

Ccnp which one? Route/switch/tshoot?
Route gets job at core/distribution
Switch at distribution
Tshoot i guess at access/core/dist
Best of luck

switch,thx

Finished my CCNP on switch,debating whether to go for CCIE or CCNP route/Tshoot..dont see any entry level jobs out there,nakkalli resume ma sake samma najau bhaneko,khoi k khoi k,,,,pls experts...

Now u have ammunition, u can very well take that route and confidently tackle all questions thrown at u on those interviews. You will at least be able to keep the job than those who have no previous skills yet appear on those interviews only to get fired in few months. Good luck.

@BT..Thx for aspiring words,m try my best...n prepare for CCIE as well, i guess...

How did you pass CCNP in less than 2 months based on self-study?
Wanna share?
If you did, you must have an amazing brain that can remember things for long..
And now you are heading to CCIE? whao..

go to examcollection.com and find all the exam dumps

Actually Lets make a Group .. CCNP hangout Gtoup !

Try taking this course instead others are are toy.Also certification is limited knowledge test and it says you know certain set.It's means of getting job but nowadays with this bootcamp and leaking dumps no certificate are prestigious mostly the popular ones.But below ones will at least force you too learn something and think outside the box.
