How do I show recruiters I'm valuable as a network analyst/engineer/manager when I have seven years of Telco experience?


Telecom, Training, CCNP, CCNA, Certifications

I have a CCNA and three of the four certs of CCNP. I should be getting CCNP this month. My question is I have seven years in a LOC test center in AT&T, and my only experience is Telco (WAN). How do I show recruiters I'm valuable as a network analyst/engineer/manager when most ask for 3-4 years of experience? How can I make that transition? Thanks!

Hi,
You can record your resume in several sites for free.

Maybe you can start with www.careerbuilder.com sign in for free and register your resume (this place has national and international exposure to recruiters from several parts of the world).

good look.

From Ed Tittel (IT Certification Guy)
Given your present and looming credentials, you should be able to write a cover letter (and amplify on same verbally) to explain how so much of what you do IS network related, and go on to provide at least a handful of specific, recent examples to make your case. Use sentences such as "I did <x>", Using my networking skills, I completed <y>, and so forth. Anything you've done or do with routers, switches, and so forth counts, so be sure to include such information as well.

HTH, and thanks for posting,
