Let's say you passed network + and then CCNA exams. you have 9 cisco
routers, 2 cisco 2950 switches , isdn simulator, pix 501 firewall at your
home lab and you have above basic knowledge about cisco networking, but you
have zero real time experience. how hard to get a job? why everybody is
looking for 2-3 year experience min? what are the possibilities to gain some
experience? I even think about working for free for couple of month just to
get some experience. does any one give me some advice about this? I live in
London by the way and I'm a bloody foreigner :))))))) I have a 5 years work
permit which I have to transfer if I change my job. So do you think there is
an opportunity out there who will accept to transfer my work permit and give
me job just becuase I LOVE NETWORKING and this is the job I want to do. Not
because of money, because I really love this and want to have a serious
career about networking.

Regards,
Bill

this is because an experienced worker can solve problem much faster than a
green one.

even an unexperienced have problem to *understand* an issue.

I know choosing an experienced one over unexperienced makes much more sense.
I just don't know where to start. How can I get experience if they all look
for 2 years experience?

Bill,
I think most of us worked our way up the system. But you don't have to work
for free.

For example, I see a company stateside asking for contractors to roll out
DSL into new neighborhoods. Get your experience there as a grunt then move
on to working in the office supporting those contractors or working at a
help desk. By then you will have your experience in installation and
maintenance and should be able to use your experience to get the jobs
requiring certification. Also use your "grunt" time and get your CCNP...

Steve
