I have CompTIA certs and the CCNA R&S an Security, what I need now is a job, with no real experience
whats the upper age limit for doing ccie and getting a job? also whats the minimum requirements before doing ccie?
6 months.. Still nothing. All companies want to hire people with experience while all I have is book smarts and this useless CCNA.
How true, real power is knowledge and don't let anyone tell you differently. Learn what you enjoy and share the knowledge, good advice.
How supid
CCNA DANCE!!! WHO HOO!!!
Perfect and helpfull video!
Thanks……….
Hey! I passed my CCNA exam after 9 months of hard work. I live in Bangalore, India. I quit my non IT job to get into IT and worked really hard on my CCNA cert and nailed it recently. The reality is that in India there is less value(almost no value) for CCNA, most of them don't respect your Cert. Since I want to get into an IT job in Networking domain as a fresher being a Commerce graduate, its really tough for me. I am not able to find a job even in a small company or startup for that matter. Almost every employer is asking for minimum 1 year of experience, but no one is ready to provide a job for a CCNA fresher. Its real hard. Countries like USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other top European countries value and respect your hard work and any Global cert that is of great value and importance. Hopefully I will find a job pretty soon. Good Luck to all my friends across the globe (except Asian countries) who are working on CCNA, it has real value.
Unless you go on and get a CCNP or better don't bother your arse to be brutallyHonest!! Grow vegetables instead In the UK the major problem is EVERYTHING or over 90 % of IT jobs are via recruitment agencies, to my mind these places in IT are a worse disease than ebola. Job boards full of Acronyms and must haves and guess what the moron looking at your CV has absolutely no clue as to what any of the acronyms actually are or do!! So even with a degree in Networking (Meaning you know everything right upto CCNP +) and have a CCNA R&S you're still going to get a knockback from some suited kid all of 18-21 who's a "recruitment specialist". Until companies wake up and realise that these agencies are basically clueless individuals just after their money. Might as well go grow vegatables
Jesus.

This NuggetCast could have been titled "Top Tips to Conquer Life After (insert any IT certification here)"
Thanks for sharing!
i had to skip ahead to make sure it wasn't just dancing haha
the "there is no place like 127.0.0.1" shirt propagates bad information! any address that starts with 127 does the same thing.
CBT Nuggets I think a good idea would be to show what jobs one can apply for after getting their CCNA.
Great video. Going through this now. Got my CCNA last year. My current job I had at the time, had no way for me to progress. So I left and went to a NOC…lasted 3 months and they let me go, I was a contractor. Was unemployed for 2 months and now I'm at a small company, 8 of us, and I will get to learn servers and networks!
Really good advice, the hands on experience, enthusiasm + the cert is key in my opinion, a cert alone is not really enough, its becoming quite well known that there are shortcuts, exam dumps etc particularly among technical people. One really needs the experience which is very valuable. It is fully within ones grasp to achieve this once they have a foot in the door, through doing more than your paid for, e.g. chatting with the security specialist and helping out a little.
