Got a NOC position!

ZomboidicusZomboidicus Member Posts: 105 ■■□□□□□□□□
After interviewing with 2 different companies, I was able land a NOC position for a very large networking equipment company!

My main responsibilities include;

Respond to ticket for networking related issues
Troubleshooting issues related routers, L2 ~ L3 switches, Nexus switches (2k, 5k, 7k), firewalls, load balancers, VPN concentrators, etc
Coordinate with ISP if circuit issue exists
Escalate emergency issues to on-site network technicians
And so on

It is a data center environment, and they will provide the necessary training. They also encourage me to pursue CCNA: DC and CCNP, so this is going to be a fun learning experience.

I think I was able to land this position because of people here who shared insight regarding technical interview questions, and because of people who were kind enough to take the time to critique my resume. So I wanted to say "thank you Techexams.net!"

    Ecio pointed them out. I eventually want to get into network security, so my plan is to pursue CCNP: Security + CISSP few years from now.

    Thank you and I hope it will be!

    Just saying... I'm also in NOC role and the focus here is more on systems rather than on networking.
