Hi all, As a 24 year old network engineer, I'm often asked by others at uni how I "broke in" to the networking space. I've also seen this question posed in various permutation on this very list so I thought I would share my some advice for other young people anxious to jump into this space.

Can I also suggest events like the Commonwealth Games etc. There is a large technical component behind these events with lots of opportunities to work next to a whole range of experts. On Tue., 17 Apr. 2018, 7:56 am Jay Dixon, wrote: > I can second events like this, even if

I can second events like this, even if you're not directly on the hardware itself you get a lot of good experience with layer 1 - running cables and generally getting to troubleshoot networks (a lot of event attendees need assistance, volunteer for the helpdesk!) Many volunteers are industry

Hey Jason, You'd want to be looking at NFP orgs that run events as a good place to start for volunteering. I, with a group of passionate gamers run Red Flag Lanfest (RFLAN) in Perth a few times a year. In 18 hours we build a wired and wireless network for ~ 900 gamers for 24 hours of

Christian, I'd like to suggest that you should adhere to some basic grammatical rules when posting critique. This is a technical forum where accuracy is paramount. Disclaimer: I did 2U General English but I'm fairly sure he left out a word and should have split the response into 3 sentences.

Most events will just use whatever the conference site provides as a service. For those that need more than that are generally savvy enough themselves as a community to know what they need and have the resources and expertise to do it themselves. > On 16 Apr 2018, at 11:52 am, Jason Leschnik

Hi Jason, Pardon my chiming in. This sounds absolutely fantastic for people like me who are wanting to get into networking and telco. I’ve been having trouble for a number of years now, too bloody many of you ask me... but I’m thinking I’m going to have to try something different. I don’t

Hi Noggers, While listening to a back episode of the Packet Pushers I noticed one of the guests mentioned he volunteered every year for SC (Super Computer Conference) with helping building the temporary network and found it a great way to gain experience. Do we have any events in Australia that
