Is Cisco going to hit you up with a technical interview? That could be the downfall of your mainly programming experience, I would definitely start reviewing some intermediate network concepts. What would the position be at Cisco? ---

That could be the downfall of your mainly programming experience, I would definitely start reviewing some intermediate network concepts. What would the position be at Cisco? Probably, and probably. 😉 But that’s fine. It’s a learning experience. I had the first interview but it was more background getting to know me but not technical. When they throw me in a room w/ the Sr. Engineers I’m toast. But oh well. And this is just one of the two roles I have a chance at. -TJ ---

here’s a mistake i made in an interview, i imediately answerd questions out of fear. I heard its better to sit there and think for a minute than just come up with random made up nonsense. Don’t worry if you do bad in the interview either. on the average people spend less than 24 hours in interviews in their life. Something you only do that much, its hard to be good at it. ---

> [@Cutty](#): > > on the average people spend less than 24 hours in interviews in their life. where’d you hear that? damn… thats not much… i’d say a common interview is 45 minutes of BS’ing… i’ve done that at least 15 times. ---

You’re in the BEST position for a job interview, having a job that’s solid. That allows you to be interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Nervous is normal, but you’re in a great place, enjoy it, roll with it, thrive on it. ---

> [@Cutty](#): > > some people stay in one job their whole life some people have 10, it bablances out to around 24. I could see that being true. You tend to change jobs alot in the first say, 10 yrs of your career, give or take, but eventually you get complacent and ride it out. Not much time spent interviewing in the last 20 yrs of your career if you’re lucky. ---
