Man, you sound like me. I don't have a job offer though. Either you lack
confidence
or you know your own limitations. Odds are it's a confidence issue. Go for
the job
and enjoy it!

I will be interested to see the answers of others to this too. My guess is
many will tell you to 'go for it'. I'm in a similar position in that I am
beginning to get the offer of interviews for senior(ish) roles and am a CCNP
with minimal 'real' experience so am a little nervous about being 'found
personally, if you've got the offer, someone thinks you can do it.
For my first networking position, I was deemed to be the cisco 'expert' as I
had read a Cisco book on TCP/IP, but at that stage I hadn't even seen a
router/switch!
Look at it from the point of view, that you are going into an existi
go for it
Deal with it
heheheheh
Your be fine

To be at the CCNP level you must have already shown some skills with LANs -
Support and switching exams.
This sounds like it may be a good thing. If you have experience for 2 years
as you say, then it should be OK. Maybe they can let you in on what they are
doing on the LAN - VLANs, etc. Ever playe
I would definitely say go for it ... thre isn't much to "basic" or even
intermediate LAN switching and IO am sure you will be able to cope. Just
have confidence in yourself, and while you are getting used to the
environment, just be very throughtful about each command you enter. I still

My first Network Administrator job came to me when the current Network
Administrator was fired for lying about his certs, and I was the most

When I left my last job (one that I liked) for this one, my boss gave me a
nice poster. It is a picture of a basketball court and to the bottom it
says:
You will always miss 100% of the shots you don't take...
I believe that statement says it all.
Good Luck and I hope it all works out for you.
Sounds like you should go for it. But if you turn it down, let me know, I'll
take it, as I _am_ a senior engineer, whose looking for work (laid off from
Lucent).

Every job I've ever had has been that way! Of course you don't know it
now, but spend whatever time is necessary to get yourself there as
quickly as possible, and you'll be fine.

Here's my two cents.
I am assuming you interviewed for this position. Probably in person. There
are two possibilities.
1) You misrepresented yourself and made them think you have greater skills
than you do ( and this would be stupid because if you get a job that you
just aren't prepared for you

Look as long as you didn't BS in the interview or resume, they should know
what to expect. If you talk the talk, can you walk the walk, they must think
so, if you've got 2 years of actual work experience you have more than me (
I only have my study experience adn home lab) . I'd say, go for it. I k
