Tips from recruiters hiring network engineers

  • ✓ State device count and number of sites. "75 branches, 900 devices" tells the reader your scale in one line.
  • ✓ Name the routing protocols you configured yourself, not ones you only monitored.
  • ✓ Mention change management and maintenance windows. Large employers care that you do not break production.
  • ✓ Put the certification number or validity year next to CCNA/CCNP so it can be verified quickly.

Common resume mistakes

  • → Listing duties without the result each one produced
  • → Leaving out keywords employers search for, such as Cisco IOS and Routing & Switching
  • → Using a heavily designed layout that applicant tracking systems cannot read
