Maybe your question should be: Do most CCIEs obtain their current job because of their extensive experience and CCIE cert came later or do they get their CCIE cert first with some experience similar to yours and then the job doors start openning up for them? The answer to this question will pro

If you are a new CCNA/CCNP with no hands on experience, get a lab, get a router, even a router simulor if you have to. Its better then nothing. If your young energetic, positive attitude, employers will notice. No matter what people tell you, companies are looking for Junior Engineers now more th

I completely understand what you're dealing with. I'm a CCNP, and I'm fortunate to be doing Network Engineering/Unix infrastructure administration for an AT&T subsidiary in No. Virginia. However, I'll probably be looking elsewhere in the not too distant future so that I can broaden my exposure t

To be honest, this was a problem even when the tech market was hot. Someone would graduate from a "CCNA bootcamp" but the problem was getting into the job. The trick is you have to know someone. Or place some bids on contracts for like 15$ an hour. Now the economy is not so hot, so employers are

Yous just answered your own question (the tech economy is bad-- very bad), and many people face or have faced the same "chicken and egg" problem. I have often wondered the same thing, about there being almost no ads for junior network engineers, and very few for midl-levels, even. I can speculat

the only way to get a good job and keep it is to work your way upin ANY industry... experience is the key. The job we are hiring for now does not require any degree or cert but it is not an entry level position. knowledge is key! and don't limit yourself to cisco just because it's the buzz.
