CCNP is a basic entry-level certificate. If you want to get a good job you must obsess enough hands-on work experience, and CCNP certification is not enough to meet the market needs.
If you want a stable job, you can go to a state-owned enterprise or a business unit to be a network administrator. The network is simple and lively. If you have a big problem, look for a network equipment provider (agent, try not to find the original factory), and generally will not be rejected.
If you want to improve your skills, you should first find a network integrator, do a few projects to accumulate experience, test a few more certificates, and then consider what to do.
After the skill is improved
Continue to stay in state-owned enterprises and institutions, and if you change your chances, you should be a lucky draw.
Stay with the integrator, mix the project manager or something
In recent years, mobile telecommunications seem to have recruited graduate students. It is more than working overtime. If technology is not good, it will be despised.
Banks are okay, but they are also divided into places. There are many people in the science and technology department, some people are few, and people with few people are tired of becoming dogs. Of course, the treatment is not bad.
Big network companies basically don't think about it. HCIE goes everywhere. A CCNP candidates wants to go in the last life to stop the destruction of the earth.
In reality, network engineers are divided into sales and after-sales in the same way as other industries. But network engineers have more pre-sales directions.
What are pre-sales? Pre-sales is the sale of known technology. The customer has not purchased the network equipment, provides the solution before the sale, and provides the quotation for the sale. There is a saying that is good, pit before the sale, fill the pit after the sale. Often, the function is said to be very good before the sale, and the after-sales hard to complete the demand.
Most of the students who just entered the network industry started from the after-sales service. If they have time, they will write the pre-sales and sales sections. Next, we will talk about the after-sales classification in detail.
1. Network administrator (network management) \ private enterprise network management
The network administrator is also called desktop operation and maintenance (network management). The network management maintains the internal network of the company. In many cases, the network has to be done: reinstalling the windows system, maintaining the CRM system, maintaining the ERP, smashing the equipment, pulling the telephone line, etc. The equipment can't run. When I was doing network management, the leader liked to call me to repair the computer.
In many cases, the network management of private enterprises is not technically demanding, and it is relatively stable to go to various buildings, from the next to the newly graduated university students, up to 10 years of graduation. The low wages of private enterprise network management and the small development space are problems faced by private enterprise network management.
Conclusion: Newly graduated college students do not have corresponding vocational skills. If CCNA and the above theoretical basis are more popular, they can enter the private enterprise network to provide enough food and clothing, but the private enterprise network management should not be engaged for more than 2 years.
2 network monitoring
The network monitoring of the equipment room is called IDC machine room operation and maintenance. This work is quite simple and has no technical content. The network equipment error system will automatically prompt, then call the corresponding maintenance personnel to come to the door for maintenance, and the IDC room needs 7x24 hours. Monitoring, so this job requires three shifts, and it takes several times a week.
IDC machine room operation and maintenance have almost no requirements on technology and ability. The working place is relatively stable. Many people who have just graduated or can't find a good job. In many cases, IDC machine room operation and maintenance providers to keep the package, go to work time to read novels and play. There is almost no pressure on games and talking about life.
Many people feel that the network operation and maintenance can learn skills during work hours, but things often go wrong. Colleagues who work with you are playing games, reading novels, watching movies, and don’t think that they will The force is very strong, what is the mud and not stained, don't bet on this small probability event. In fact, the most terrible thing about people is the influence of the surrounding circles. The average salary of your best five friends is equal to your salary level.
Conclusion: There is not much demand for vocational skills, and there is an urgent need to solve the problem of food and clothing. This industry should not be engaged for more than one year.
3 state-owned enterprises/institutions
Many network administrators in state-owned enterprises and institutions are called information managers. Just entering this line has slightly required professional skills, and most of them are mainly supervisors. Working hours are easy and enjoyable, and the salary is not high, but the welfare is good.
To enter the information manager this business, there are certain thresholds and opportunities, not fully considering technical capabilities, the main requirements: academic qualifications, recruitment, "relative" relationship, and this is the job is not to see parents pay. Drinking tea at work, supervising the progress of the project.
In fact, life is not so stable. Things that seem to be stable are often the most vulnerable. Only by constantly improving yourself can you learn more things that you didn't dare to think about.
Conclusion: Entering this line is slow, slow, but stable. If the "relatives" are strong, you can try to enter. There is a saying in this trip. If you look at retirement at the age of 30, you will see your retirement treatment at the age of thirty. For many want to be stable! stable! stable! Students can try to enter.
4 foreign companies / Internet
Network administrators in foreign companies and Internet companies have higher requirements, at least in the industry, who have been saying for years. Let's talk about foreign companies. Foreign companies have certain requirements for English. At least they can send English emails at least. They can communicate with foreigners in Chinese-style English at least. Foreign companies often study the working years of the previous companies. Foreigners just want to consider yours. Stability issues, and requirements for learning experiences, work experience, academic qualifications, etc. It is certainly not so low that wages are so difficult to enter. It is true that the treatment is good, and the work intensity is not high.
But nowadays foreigners are smart, and they are doing what third-party outsourcing is like China. The threshold is much lower, and the money is of course much less.
Internet companies are now in the limelight, network administrators are also well-paid, and the requirements are quite high, but there is no requirement for English. High technical and learning ability, most of the work can be tried 3-5 years, and occasionally can be divided into equity, options and the like. Most of them are also old birds, and there are very few graduates. Don't listen to Internet companies and think that the Internet is very important. Many Internet companies have no network management, directly outsource the network to other companies, and pay for the effect.
Conclusion: Foreign companies and Internet companies are good in network management, earning more and more tired, but at least they are less earned and tired, and the development is not bad. At least there are channels for promotion, and the company provides opportunities for internal training. For many years CCNP or CCIE want to be stable, want to make money, and there is a certain development can enter this trip.
