I think you guys have a mostly accurate assessment of my personality type. I'm sort of funny. I make sure everyone knows who I am and I have 99% positive relationships formed with everyone. I put my feelers out recently and have come up empty. Where should I be networking now? AA meetings?
Professional events. How often are you at meet ups for your technology choices, for example?
I'm going to Mangocon?
Check out SpiceCorps local to you. They can be iffy on content but the real reason you attend is to interact with people.
I'll do that. They do message me pretty frequently.
It's a full time job. You'll be working as much on this as you are at your real job.
I'll just add it to the list of things to do:
Wedding Planning
Full-time job
Studying for CCIE
Family Expectations
Networking
Inevitable DeathIs the CCIE going to advance your career? Are you looking for a career in Cisco networking?
I'm looking into a career in networking, generally speaking. I think a lot of knowledge comes with studying those certs. That's the real objective.
This is just personal experience here... but for me, I learned far more about networking after I landed a job in it than I ever did from getting my CCNA... It's very very important that you understand the principles of it, but not that you have every command memorized (unless you want the certs).
The CCNA doesn't cover all that much, in reality.
You are right... But I've got the concepts down and I'd not be afraid to work at a CCIE level or higher because of the experience that I got from the last network that I ran.

I'm going to say this at the risk of triggering Scott but I haven't seen ANY jobs not require certs here. So yeah, you're probably right but I still need to get the certs to get the job. They will at least teach me conceptually. I can build from there.
Yeah... like degrees that's just crap people put on their web postings. Means nothing.
Hm. I'll start putting out a lot more apps then and report back to you guys. We'll see what happens.
One thing I can recommend, ask some people on here to review your resume. There are a few people on here like @Minion-Queen who does a ton of IT pro hiring.
I can't imagine anyone finding a lot of fault in my resume. It's one of the few things I am very confident about but I'll put it out there.
No offence, but this attitude tells me there is probably something that can be done better on your resume. I am by no means an expert, I had help from people on here and in the real world when I crafted mine.

You'd be surprised what I can find. I went through resume training at the top university in the US at one point (for whatever that is worth) and was a career counsellor for IBM and had my resume used directly as THE example resume by a multi-national consulting and staffing firm as the best example of a resume.
I was once interviewing a guy and he knew WAY too much about me. I asked how he knew so much and he said "Oh, I saw your resume, the staffing firms hand it out to people so that they can learn how to write theirs."

If you are open to the truly brutal, post it online! (new thread) It always makes for a great discussion for everyone to see what factors different people think matter.

Nah, this wouldn't be bashing. This would be criticism, hopefully constructive. Rarely have a seen any intentional bashing on this forum.

@coliver You know what I meant though.
