Hi guys, Thanks for your replies, your advice is invaluable.
I'll certainly try and turn things around and be proactive in the interviews from now. Prior to the ones I have had recently, I haven't been interviewed in a while, so I'm a bit rusty! Even though i'm being upfront about my lack of real world experience, the problem I have is that because I've never worked in the actual role, I get those peering looks over the glasses & an uncomfortable silence. So I want to dazzle them with my awareness of what is expected of me. If somebody would be kind enough to help me with these questions: I was wondering how much documentation is usually undertaken by a network engineer. For example, If you follow any anomalies, set alarms or triggers does this usually all have to be be documented? Also, how often do you communicate with Cisco? for example, if you are replacing end of life equipment or project their solutions is there much involvement from Cisco?
