Employers Want Candidates with Job Experience

Candidates Cant Get the Experience without the Job

Also when you go for interviews

now, they actually ask how many
actual experiences you have of the
job tasks. They dont want to hear
about simulations.
CCNA 4 Academy Student

You seem to be forgetting about those of us

who have completed their schooling and passed
the Cisco (certification) and desperately need job
experience. You have no clue how many people
are thinking we would be eagerly sought after for
the job of our dreams only to find that employers
want experienced people. What a rude
awakening.
Arent there any employers willing to develop
these people?
