I'm Hiring a CCNA! But here's what I REALLY want.

[@leviathangod]

Not even looking for a job but I have to say your enthusiasm is so contagious it has me excited about this role. Thank you Jeremy for helping me get my CCNA, it was also your enthusiasm that carried though to get my CCNA.

[@electricianone3090]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if more employer’s made videos like this! In all fields.

[@paspaiocaeedro4824]

First of all, this video is awesome Jeremy, you give a really good perspective of what a entry level in networking is. Sadly here in mexico for a network engenieer they ask for insane requirements like Have a CCNP, for R&S and Collab (for example) knowledge in azure, aws, virtualization, and the list goes on and on.

[@KyserClark]

Literally the day I got my CCNA this is posted. Hahaha Too bad I'm not looking for a job just yet. I'm Active Duty for the next 2.5 years. And I agree, in person is the best way to strengthen relationships with customers. I hope Jeremy can find the person he is looking for. Good luck to everyone who applies!

[@jerekyox]

One of the best videos on your channel, methinks. Really explains the importance of a cert vs the importance of tangible experience from the eyes of an employer. And it helps me set realistic growth goals.

[@grahamjkeddie]

Jeremy you helped me get my CCNA. Wish I live closer so I could apply to join your team. What a great opportunity! Good luck with the search for your new colleague. Graham from Scotland

Thanks for your videos, Jeremy! I don't live in Arizona, and I'm happy at my shiny new, entry level position! It turns out that even though my knowledge was less than a lot of people I interviewed against, my personality was the best fit for the culture, and therefore I was offered the position. The company accepted that I might need some time to learn the nitty gritty of Palo Alto and Solarwinds, as none of that is covered with my CCNA. But give me a Cisco CLI and I can set up VLANS and assign IP addresses with the best of them! Formerly SpringMommy

[@ex7229]

Rich information as always. Thank You for this.

[@snottypockets]

Gee that would be fun, then we could talk about the best way to port in a Cat A number, the trials and pitfalls (and there are many ) alas I'm not on your continent .. it's very heartening to hear what you said!

[@Androcentus]

High respect for Jeremy, however I see even him falling on the same trap as the whole industry: You don't hire for skills, you hire for attitude. You can always teach skills!

[@wyohman00]

As someone who works for an MSP, I have to disagree with your assertion about "in a little time you'll figure it out" when it comes to multiple vendors. To grow, it's very important to establish hardware and software standards based on due diligence and your target market. Then find companies in your target who are willing to invest in solutions that match their needs and then you can leverage a team of talent workers who know that technology. This doesn't mean that Cisco is better than HP or any vendor but their solutions match the expertise of your team and you've created solutions with your target customer in mind.

[@xxErmis]

I've been helping my boss with the NOC entry level position interviews, I feel so identified with all you said. Great video as always Jeremy.

[@joelferretiz6887]

I take my ccna on October 4th! I’m studying nonstop!

[@joelferretiz6887]

@Alex thanks! Still at it lol

[@doctor.networks]

Hire Me! I am a CCIE, but for you Jermey, I will be more than willing to work as a CCNA 😊

[@wiziek]

Are you paper CCIE?

[@mathewjohnson6652]

Defeats the purpose of his entire intent, but sure.

[@doctor.networks]

@@mathewjohnson6652 I know what Jeremy meant, this was just a humour comment & solely because of the respect I have for Jeremy.

[@ristoshikongo7730]

I'm still studying ccna 200-301 as a self-taught and I'm far from being done. So, Good luck to everyone else.

[@Jomster777]

Just recently been certified as CCNA and wish I could be given the opportunity to work for you as well as being mentored. I'm hoping to work on towards getting my CCNP in Security, DevNet and CyberOps as these are my most interested topics. Looking to become CCIE certified someday

[@jerekyox]

Not sure whether you have answered this before, but do you have any opinion on Juniper hardware? I have started using it this year and it's amazing (from my perspective). I am curious to know what you think.

[@benjaminwharton6264]

If I didn't just get hired I would move to AZ to work with you.

[@netdevnick]

I'd be interested in checking out the position if it gets posted for Texas. I only see it for Arizona at the moment

[@sharjahvloger]

I want this job, because I am passionate about Networks role. I AM IN!

[@maninderduhan7639]

Exciting opportunity!!

[@josemattey1030]

So Jeremy, if I take you training at CBT will I learn all these things? By the way, thank you for all you do!

[@Viatto]

You bet!

[@365techtips]

It would have been great to mention earlier you want somebody locally only. I totally get why, but I can imagine a lot of fellow Europeans were gutted half way through the video!

[@nazirulroslan9233]

Do you have a summer intern position? It would be sooo awesome to be able to work under you. Maybe to the level where you had first connected wirelessly and yelled to your wife in the kitchen letter her know you were connected with no wires, level of excitement.

[@xSeiryu]

If this can be done remotely I’ll 100% apply I have my CCNA working towards my CCNP currently :)

[@roypinaki4u]

Damn… it will be cool to have a boss like u

[@gupttura2766]

in some cases, tracing a cable on a rack probably hardest thing you will ever do :)

[@elnelly16]

I am interested @Jeremy😀

[@mylesgoodwin2017]

This could be a new method for posting jobs while minimizing the interview time.

[@mocknkosi5534]

I would love to work with you Jeremy, I'm literally learn even in this video.

[@johnsonopokujnr.3595]

It would be my dream come true to work with you Jeremy, I have the experience and skillset and I'm willing to relocate.

[@jerekyox]

Another question: no mention of automation anywhere. Any reason why?

[@Dmac4362]

The only bullet point I have is the culture lol

[@kactusotus56]

So you need a CCNA with work experience 🥲

[@farazkazmi725]

Jeremy cioara is most under rated instructor

I really want to know if your kid are interested in networking world
