experience
Translation of the above: Are you considered an expert by your industry
peers? We know your family thinks you're a genius. Do your peers in the
networking community agree? Do you want work on the bleeding edge of
technology, playing with the biggest, baddest and bestest toys? Are you a
team player who can also work alone providing creative solutions to complex
problems using your "out of the box" thinking? Are you tired of being the
"smartest guy in the room" when you're at work? Well then, I've got the
job you're looking for! The above qualifications are the "wish list".
That should give you a feel of whether or not you're qualified for this
position though. You know your own skill set better than anyone else.
Just be advised: Please don't be a "buzzword bandit" on your CV. If you
list a skill or experience, its fair game to ask you about these - in depth
- during your phone screen and any subsequent in-person interviews.
Interested and Qualified candidates, please forward your CVs to jfraizer at

Can you please put these at the back of the line? My experience is that
the cisco certification (at least) is evidence of the absence of actual
troubleshooting skills. (or my standards of what defines “expert” are
different than the rest of the world).

Jared, don’t generalize.
True - there are people that are ‘paper’ CCIE/JNCIEs - but let’s not
start a rant unless you've met tens of CCIEs/JNCIEs and all of them
didn’t know a jack. About troubleshooting.
Folks,
It's just a piece of paper in my opinion. A person either knows their
stuff or they don't. Less than 5min on a phone screen and I will know if
they "bought" their certification(s) or earned them. Sadly, I've spoken to
far too many who give some validation to Jared's comment. I'm wondering how
many proctors have been paid off or if people are buying fake id's for
smart people and paying them to sit for the tests posing as them.

We had one CCIE at a previous job who just didn't "click" no matter how much we tried to train on the architecture. Eventually in one backbone event, he kept saying that the problem couldn't be with a given router because "traceroute worked." When it was pointed out that the potential fault wouldn't cause traceroute to fail, we got a very puzzled look. We then asked him to explain how traceroute worked. He spectacularly failed.
It became a tongue-in-cheek interview question. What was boggling was the number of *IE's that failed trying to explain traceroute's mechanics.
My test, as crass as it is. If your CV headlines with a JCIE/CCIE, I am pretty certain that you have very little real-world experience. If it's a footnote somewhere, that's ok.

It's been over a decade since I was an active participant on NANOG. I
didn't know that the NANOG-JOBS list existed. Sometimes it's easier to ask
for forgiveness than permission though. I guess it's a good thing Susan H.
isn't here to throw me in NANOG jail, huh?

We need a pool on what percentage of readers just googled traceroute.
Based on the number of "certified" people I've interviewed over the last
20yr, my default view lines up with Jared's 100%
I asked one of my guys to tracert in windows for something and he executed pathping. I have never seen that in 25 years.... Go figure!

I didn't google traceroute. Didn't need to. Instead, I drew on the knowledge I gained when Clifford and I wrote _Linux IP Stacks Commentary_. Unfortunately, the Steven's books are not required reading in CCIE prep.
'pathping' ..... learned something new today...
Did not know such a command existed in windows..
Been working with computers for over 30 years, while I don't care as to what it says about how much I know, but it sure reminds me that that their is always something more that one can learn !
Thank You.

Back in 2000 at Amazon, HR somehow decided to have me do the phone
interviews for neteng. I'd go through questions on routing and what not,
then at the end I would ask questions like, "Who was Jon Postel? Who is
Larry Wall? Who is Paul Vixie? What are layers 8 & 9? Explain the RTFM
protocol. What is NANOG?" Those answers (or long silences) told me more
about the candidate than most of the technical questions.
No, they read the man page, of course!
Yep, I learned something new (though IDK I'll ever use it - I'm
guessing it's useless trivia, esp since I haven't done much with
Windows in ~6 years now). My default traceroute is:
nmap -Pn -p0 --traceroute <host>
I remember you asking me who Jon was I have since added to my list of
interview questions... sad but the number of people with clue is declining
not increasing.
My first thought on reading that was "who the hell cares if a person
knows about internet culture". But than I had to reconsider - it's a
very apt way of telling if someone read the right books
I would also add Ritchie, Thompson, and Diffie to that list (since you
ask about Larry, it's only appropriate).
