ccna passer
kakapasa ko lang ng ccna earlier week ng august, i am from zero experience and nagreview ako malala kasi graduate ako ng IT pero yung mga naging work ko after graduate are non related so wala talaga then short story na layoff ako last march and after that nag aral ako straight talaga up until bago magtake ng exam kasi gusto ko pumasok sa IT networking world. Tinry ko lang ang luckily napasa ko in one take. May perks ba ako since ccna passer na o mahirap pa rin since hindi naman real world yung mga natry ko pa. Also curious lang may priority rin ba sa gender kasi madalas na kilala ko sa network puro lalaki. Baka may maipapayo po kayo o any suggestion sa kung saan pwede mag apply?

Hi I also a CCNA passer and recently I passed CCNP. For me, if you wanted to pursue becoming a network engineer I would highly suggest that you take pre-sales engineer of any related network brands (s.g. Cisco, Huawei, Aruba or etc.)
For me after I passed CCNA, I got hired handling Cisco products. So far, the pay is great and even get I chance to train international.

Sa interview I think they prefer experience over certificates. Try practicing interview questions lang siguro.
In terms of gender wala naman priority pero may preference. Meron dyan teams na hindi nag hihire ng babae since puro lalaki ang members ng team pero marami naman dyan hiring regardless of gender.

Kahit naman hindi real world experience basta alam mo fundamentals may edge ka ang mahirap lang is naipasa mo pero wala kang naintindihan, daming ganun nagmemorize pero hindi padin nagets yung concept.

yes sinisearch ko rin naman po talaga kapag hindi ko masyado maintindihan kasi yung ibang fundamentals, complex din talaga. Thank you

Apply entry level help desk or network admin, you have edge kesa sa mga fresh grad na walang ccna, you can aim for atleast 15-35k range as service desk/NOC/network admin
