Re: Job Opening Senior Network Engineer
I've seen a lot of ads in this class. Directfit had an ad not long ago asking for a person with 15 years of experience with Cisco equipment and was offering 95K. I once met a person with these qualifications, but there was only enough room in my time machine for me. A few days ago I came across an ad in the LA Times looking for someone with 3 to 5 years experience with Windows 2000 and Office 97/2000. Perhaps they're interviewing process will include a four year hands-on non-paid practical test. Lisa Marie Belong wrote: Hello, We are a company located in Pleasanton, CA. (near Silicon Valley).

Re: Paper CCXX ...LONG
I took Cisco approved courses through a Cisco Premier Training Partner about a year and a half ago. I took ICRC, ACRC, CMTD, CLSC, and CIT. On the first day, the instructor would have everyone say a little about who they were and what they did. Of all the students in all the coursed, only two, myself and one other, were there on their own. All the others were sent by their employers. Most had been Network Engineers for over two years, and several had been Network Engineers for over five years. Some of the companies represented were Disney, Universal Studios, GTE (Verison), and various regional and national financial institutions. In general, the more experience these people had, the more confidence they portrayed on the first day, but by the middle of the week, most of these same seasoned and experienced Network Engineers were understanding the material and performing the labs no better than those with less (or even no) experience. Many times they would say things like "Oh, that explains why we were experiencing that problem on our network" or "Boy, did I find that out the hard way!" or "We don't use that protocol on our network, so this is all new to me" or "So, that's why thus and such works that way" or "Can you explain subnetting again?". On that first day, when we introduce ourselves, I would say that I had been a PC Tech and had no experience, but was looking to become a CCNP and find employment as a Network Engineer and had already completed courses in Novell. Someone would almost always say "Why don't you get a job, work a while and have your employer send you?". Often, when they would introduce themselves, they would talk about how they had been trying to take this course, but had to reschedule several times because of this project or that outage, but by the end of almost every course, one of them would say how they wished they could go through all the courses and get certified the way I was (except for having to pay for it themselves, of course), and that even though the course was great, and would help them tremendously at work, they wouldn't have the time to study and become certified. The others would nod in agreement. I know there is no substitution for experience, but I think it is important to remember that the courses are designed to provide the students with the benifit of those who have extensive experience. These courses don't exist in a vacume. The writers of the Cisco self study materials are written by true Experts. Will courses teach you everything you will come across on the job? Of course not. But from what I learned interacting with 40 or so Network Engineers from a wide variety of industries, what you learn in persuit of a CCNP is valuable and will continue to be. Well, I have to get back to studying for my Microsoft 70-221 test ... Scott A.
