Does anyone know any companies in Oxford, England that require CISCO CCENT engineers?


I have been writing directly to lots of companies but no luck so far

    Knock out your CCNA...and try again. CCENT is still very entry level, but a great start. Finish up with ICND2 and I think you might have better luck. Good luck with your search

    You could use the cisco partner locator and search your area: Partner Locator-Partner Central - Cisco Systems

    Looking for partners is the best way usually, but as said before CCENT wont open many doors unless you have alot of experience under your belt. CCNA even is so common, most partners have their quota of that to keep partnership.

    You are better keeping your eye on a few job websites (CWJobs, Jobserve, Jobsite, Totaljobs, etc) and see what comes up. Quite often I see jobs for CCNA level engineers for decent salary.

    Just a tip, do a search like "cisco" within 50 miles of your location, then set it so that they website will send you emails for anything that matches that search. I have nearing 15 emails a day from different sites doing this, and while not everything is useful, I've had three interviews this year because of things like this.

    Hey man, CCENT, CCIE what ever. Isn't going to get you a job.

    Find a local users group and introduce yourself. Everyone I know in networking, networks that way.

    Registering on Relationships Matter | LinkedIn is what got me a job 3 month's before finishing college!
    There's a lot of head hunters there and it's a good universe to search for companies looking for staff to hire.

    Someone found my profile by typing "ccna" or "ccna voice" i don't know, sent me an introduction message and i got 2 interviews with them and now hired for May 30!!

    And it's really the job i was looking for. Small company, doing deployments in VoIP, personalized company support and network management, on-site training...etc!

    So i guess i'm a bit lucky and having a grade probably helped!

    BTW: Everyone on linkedIn should join the techexams group ;)

    I guess that might be a bit location dependant, as I've never even seen a local users group over in the UK, and never met anyone who's been to one. The most "local" over here would probably be any of the meetings LINX (London Internet Exchange) does, which from my current location is getting on for 200 miles away.

    How do you start in IT networking then, when you have no previous experience?

    I have only got a CCENT qualification

    I live in England by the way.

    Is it really not possible to find work in IT networking with the CCENT qualification?

    You should start harvesting for support jobs to get your feets in!

    Exactly. You aren't going to go engineer networks with just a CCENT and equivalent knowledge. Find something entry level and start gaining some experience.
    An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

    Bolton07 - I understand your frustration. I live in Oxfordshire and network analyst/engineer jobs are hard to find whether entry level or experienced. If you can, I'd branch out to Swindon and Reading, that's where I've seen more, if any networking jobs.

    As well as the list Stuh84 gave, I'd also recommend UK IT Jobs – Search for a New IT Job Today – PurelyIT.

    Good luck in your job search.
