The Cisco path to a good job?
LockedHey all,
A quick background about myself. I’ve been in the Call Center industry for about 5 years now the last two of which I have been in Operations Planning as an Analyst for a worldwide company. Previous to this I went to tech school and picked up my A+ cert, NT 4.0, Win95/98, MCP and MOUS in a Compuer Operating System Technician course that ended me up nowheres.
Said company that I work for now provide free online training to it’s employees and my interest in networking is leading me to begin my CCNA training while I work.
Eventually I want to expand from the CCNA to improve my marketability. My main concern though is the number of years experience most companies require. I’d eventually want to end up as a security analyst, however the point is to get myself a job in a market I enjoy.
I was told by another Tech friend of mine that given a CCNA+specialization, I should have little difficulty finding work. Assuming that completing CCNA is a given down the road, what suggestions do you all have as far as entry level jobs, future additions to my eductaion, and general paths to success to get somewheres in this field?
