I don't know you personally, but I have some
suggestions for you to think about. Don't let that
certification go to your head. If you give the
impression to an employer that you deserve to have a

Don't think that you are better than others because
well ... may be you ask too much for an entry level. Or something wrong with

Hi,
I'm from the other end of the scale.
I have been working in this business for years and have wanted to get out and studied
in other areas but can't afford the pay cut to go back to an entry level job. That is
not to say I don't enjoy what I do.
I feel I have to become a CCIE to keep

With your high expectations of getting a job, I can understand your
disappointment. Expecting a certification to get you a job is setting
yourself up for disappointment because I think certification alone is not
enough to land a job. Certification must not be your only qualificatio

Hi
Don't worry too much about it. This time of year it is hard to find work, I
know I am looking right now myself. A lot of the companies are just starting
a new year, people just getting back from holiday vacations, new budgets and
projects just starting to get going.
Keep in mind that there re
You cannot expect an employer to be interested in you just because you have
a specific certification, in the same way that you cannot expect a company
to hire you just because you have a specific degree.
There are many things other than technical skills that an employer looks at.

Jeongwoo,
I suspect CCNP is not widely recognized by employers (yet), with the
possible exception of the Washington DC area. A year ago, everyone here was
looking for CCNAs but now CCNP seems to be the cert. du jour
at or above where you would have entered with CCNP.

My 2 cents...try looking out of the San Francisco market. Also,
just a CCNP cert. at entry level is not enough. An additional A+, SCSA,
CNA, MCP will help.
Good Luck

I have some suggestions for you to think about. They
may or may not apply to you. Don't let that
certification go to your head. If you give the
impression to an employer that you deserve to have a
job because of your CCNP, you will not get hired.

Even more importantly Park, you need to have the real life experience to
back up the cert.

What price do you put on folks with a combination of things? Such as a few years (lets

Remember too that entry level positions advertised do not mean that is the
only opportunity.
My recommendation is to follow through even on some of the more junior
positions and see if there is room for the company to expand the role and
hopefully remuneration.

Friend,
Now that you have your CCNP and no Experience, please don't get carried
away with the certifications. Don't try to get your CCIE yet. You will just
end up hating routing protocols if you don't get your hands in some
production routers/switches.
