I have a Network Engineer Job interview this Thursday - I have couple of question

amb1s1

I'm currently working with one of the bigs services provider as a Network Engineer, but I got lay off (Budget cut). They gave me 30 days advance notices, so I'm in the market for a job. I landed an interview for a Network Engineer on a Hospital, so I have couple of questions for you guys about the interview.

I'm panning to print a diagram of one of my diagrams that I have done on my job to show the interviewer. I have deleted every single confidential information and I'm planning to make it as if I created a diagram for the hospital. Like with hospital name, logo, address etc... Also, I'm planning to print a document that documents the procedure to replace an old switch with a new one. This document show every single detail to have a sucessful implementation. I would do the same as I did with the diagram with the confidential info. Are these good Ideas?

What about questions to ask? I have a couple .

What kind of interior routing protocol do you use?
How many devices I'm going to be supported?
Are the hospital using MPLS?
How many sites they have?


That's what I have now. Any other questions? Any tips? BTW, the interviewer told me that they are looking for a Cisco guy. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't bring actual documents from your current job, but if you want to make some sample ones I'd think that would be fine though I've never done it. Companies, and especially service providers, have some pretty hard core confidentiality rules these days. I would avoid the whole situation of sanitizing the documents.

My advice would be relax and make sure you can answer in depth questions on everything you have listed on your resume. If you don't know something just say so. Trying to BS is the worst thing someone can do IMO. Just be confident and be yourself.

Good luck!
