Hi,
I need some help with my job search strategy for a job in networking in the States.
I’m from Southeast Asia. I have a Bachelor’s in Electronic Engineering, and am now at the tail-end of an M.S. in Computer Science in UK. Theoretical knowledge-wise, I think I’m okay as I have taken modules such as Computer Systems Engineering and Communication Systems Engineering during my Bachelors, and a Networks module during my M.S.. However, my practical knowledge in networking is close to zero. Instead, my practical skills are more programming- and Web-based, such as Java, Perl, HTML and JavaScript, although I would prefer to get a job in networking.
My questions are:
1. What job position should I be looking at to start off with?
2. Would it be wise for me to start off as an intern in a company in the States?
3. Or to start off as a web developer, get some professional certifications, and then do a proper job search in networking?
Thanks!
