    Congrats!

    My advice is keep doing what you are doing. You are certainly on the right track getting your foot in the door with Cisco. Nice on the resume if nothing else. Good luck!

    Congrats on the new job! That's pretty cool getting a job at Cisco early in your career. Do you get to take Cisco exams for free?

    Thanks pevangel. I am definitely very lucky to get this job so early in my career. Although the benefits for working at Cisco are great, I think I still have to pay for my Cisco exams. I haven't heard of the company paying for my certification. But if I find out otherwise, I'll let you know.
