Re: Network Job offer without Real network Experience
If you take a network job, the FIRST thing you SHOULD NOT do is start studying things unrelated to networking. If the company is a Cisco shop, you should immediately start going down the Cisco path...CCNA > CCNP (at minimum)...Juniper shop just do the equivalent. Of course this is assuming it's an actual networking… -
Re: Network Job offer without Real network Experience
Congrats on the Job Offer. Congrats on the A+ and Network+. Future congrats on the Sec+. But, you will need to decide which discipline you want to pursue further. If you want networking stuff... go CCNA. If you want M$ Server stuff... go MCSA. But dont try to do both (you will have plenty of time later in your career) -
Re: Network Job offer without Real network Experience
I experienced a similar problem. When I left trucking and went back to my current job doing laptops I actually got a job offer to be a network technician, but didn't go in for interview. For one I have no previous experience doing networking and it was a short term contract. I read job description and I felt like they were… -

Find a work colleague that you get along well with and is willing and patient to help a new hire. Shadow him/her whenever they go out to troubleshoot, engineer, or configure network equipment.

Forget Comptia, another cert from them won't make any difference. Put Microsoft on the back burner, the knowledge could be helpful but isn't really critical. Dive into Cisco completely. Cram for the CCENT for basic knowledge, but depending on your work environment maybe consider Datacenter for some Nexus coverage. CCNA R&S… -

Aside from the CCNA studies you're already doing? Maybe find some packet tracer labs you can practice on. Just found these through Google: Packet Tracer 7.1 labs - Packet Tracer Network But personally, if the company knows your experience level and there is a senior employee there working with you, I wouldn't hesitate to… -
Re: Network Job offer without Real network Experience
Best to pick the cert that complements the day-to-day activities you perform. But you won't know those until you begin working there. Doing it this way will make studying for it much easier, as you can lab on the job so to speak. What if you dive head first into CCNA only to discover they use Brocade network stuff? Give it… -
Re: Network Job offer without Real network Experience
I wouldn't sweat it, they hired you as they can see you're still "green" and learning. It's good for both the company as they can take you under their IT/Network team, they will obviously have a supervisor for that department to delegate "stuff" for you to do. You won't be left alone to fend for yourself. Think of it as a…
