Would you mind if I asked why you want to perform night work? You'd think that'd limit the number of potential jobs available to you?

I'm currently studying for my CCIE so as such i find it easier to work nights and then i can be free to attend courses during the daytime, it seems to work quite well

And when do you find time to fit sleep in?

Going on the past two days, i don't In hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea, but i'm sure it'll pay off

That's an interesting way to do it! Good luck to you, but it'll make for an 'interesting' CV!

From a fairly basic support type role straight into advanced network consultancy.

Don't want to sound critical (wish I'd done my CCIE when I had the opportunity) and obviously I've assumed a lot about your experience, but I'd be interested to know how you decided to do what you're doing, and what you've done previously - mostly out of curiousity.

If you'd rather not, then that's perfectly understandable!

I've got background in Cisco and VMWare, so the thinking was, get some proper qualifications and then start lloking for a job.

Because the CCIE isn't mickey mouse it will help when applying for jobs, it's not like an MCSE or some other pay and play title.

The drive for doing it? Basically it comes from seeing how my father got on in the industry and it's something i'd like to follow, although without his help i don't think i'll make it to CEO of DB.

I'll PM you my email address to send me your CV.

I recruit for quite a few desktop support roles so i'll see what I've got.
