................................. I GOT THE JOB!!!
Heck yeah! Network Engineer IV baby! They said the pretty much had me in mind before I even interviewed and wanted to see if I could back up all the knowledge on my resume and how personable I was. When I came in I did amazing, and the other techs had a lot of skill, but were not very customer centric. Guess all those years doing client presentations while I was IT Consulting paid off =]
They said they were impressed by my deep technical knowledge of routing protocols and Cisco Firewalls.
So I gotta submit my to my criminal background check, and once that's done I start Feb 7th!
Ahhhhh I'm soooo happy!

Congrats!! That seems like a dream job. Not just because it's Cisco but outside of the technology they seem to have a very positive and cool corporate culture.

Unfortunately it comes a day after my phone gets shut off. So I've kinda asked my folks for an emergency loan. But it is nice because the week after I work I will be getting a fat consulting check for all the work I've done with another client I started with. And if I work it right I can most likely keep my consulting client and bring in a nice extra chunk everymonth.
Does anyone live in the South San Jose area that needs a Systems Administrator job, I'm going to decline the offer from the other job, and I know they really want someone who is talented. Least I could do is give them some recomendations.Currently Reading:

This is great. Working for the manufacturer is such a career supercharger. You will be sought after now as long as people use Cisco devices.

CONGRATS... You should see if they'll gift you an ASR 1000 group for your home, you know, just to practice being awesome on. And then you can send one to me.
Seriously though, CONGRATS! -
