WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS?
At the offices of CCIE Agent, Limited, we have been inundated with work. Demand for our services is through the roof and we are all juggling requirements from our clients to keep up. The new web site designed by my big brother, Dan the editor of the CCIE Flyer, has been a real success. If you go check it out (www.cciejobs.com) you will see we have some very interesting work for you to consider. We are keeping the roles as fresh as we can and adding new ones daily. You should book mark us, and make this site a regular stop.
Who is hiring?
We have a nice selection of partners from the Cisco reseller ranks. By far the hiring for CCIEs is heaviest in the USA. An awesome trend is the requirements we have uncovered for Network Engineers in general. That’s right; these roles are for skilled individuals without certifications. I think my grand standing in the name of common sense is paying off. Many network engineer hiring managers are asking for CCIEs even when the hiring company does not need the certification. I have said it before certifications are like bug-lights for the bland. Recruiters who do their jobs right know the details of the position, so instead of blurting out the nearest certification they will ask for skills.
Hiring has been brisk in the USA and average CCIE salaries my team is seeing are in the $130k base range. We have had some peaks much higher for DoD and very specific positions. Come let us show you who is paying the best wages and where your career can take you. Go to www.cciejobs.com and get in touch with my team!
Kevin Hunt for Red Prevaricator
I have been doing a lot of stuff in the CCIE world. Not all of it has been fun, but all of it has been interesting. One long running story about an identity thief has kept me entertained for a while, ever since the victim contacted me for help. I, like so many super heroes before me, stepped up to the challenge.
Rules? Who needs rules!
Surprisingly, many IT professionals seem ignorant of policies governing their certifications. You really should be aware of things like Confidentiality Agreements, NDAs, Rights and Responsibilities, Trade Mark regulations and the Testing Companies’ training policies. Since there are gads of certifications you could spend hours studying, with I will simply move along with the Certification Agreements from Cisco.
CCIE Dating Service
I became a recruiter out of necessity. I was an IT manager and a TAC Manger and then a Consultant Manager, and through these last few roles I was always called upon to do my own recruiting. It was easier for me to get the Monster ID and password from HR than it was to explain what I needed. So, after so many years of doing this on my own it changed my career. Now it looks like I am going to have to open a dating service for CCIEs. This need is born of the same mother of invention that made me the CCIE Agent.

Arrest, minor criminal records derail job search
Some job seekers who thought they had their criminal records sealed or believe arrest records won’t show up in a background check are often in for a rude awakening.
Dr Bill Miller QGM C.Eng CITP CCIE
Has the Magic Gone Out of Being a CCIE For Many People
I think the answer is much more complex than these simple facts. Many people took, and still take the CCIE Lab exam because it was the pinnacle of networking, it was a challenge, a nirvana (I am not sure if nirvana ever actually can be reached) that had to be reached to be called the best in the networking world.

Cisco Performance Routing – Measure and Learning methods
On my first article about Cisco Performance Routing, I described how it works, things to keep in mind when deploying PFR/OER and a basic configuration working with static definition of traffic classes. In this article we are going to work on Learning methods for dynamically detect and classify the traffic, the modes Cisco Performance Routing can use to measure and react if needed and lastly a feature called link-groups. I highly recommend to give a good read to my first Cisco Performance Routing article as all the foundation are in there

OpenFlow Might Lower CapEx While SDN Will Increase OpEx
A lot of people have talked extensively about OpenFlow making significant changes to the networking business. In particular, many writers have focussed on the possibility that OpenFlow enables a choice of using low cost network equipment instead of the expensive networking equipment that we use today.

Load-Sharing across ASICs
Port-channels have become an acceptable solution in data centers to both mitigate STP footprints and extend physical interface limits.
One of the biggest drawbacks with port-channels is the single point of failure.
