What's an expired Cisco CCNP worth now?

LOL. Nobody reads CVs anymore anyway. Just put "CCNP" and "lapsed." If it's Workday, you can just create a word doc and attach it to the certification "record" with the word, "Lapsed 201X." That way you can say you told them clearly it wasn't active, but Workday won't process the word doc and will just check the AI box.

My CCDA expired 24 years ago, not that anyone really knew what it was even when it was active. I put all my expired shite on my CV (including for companies that don't exist anymore, like my Aironet Certified Wireless Networking Expert pre-2000.

If you're looking for more technical roles, don't forget Dice. It looks to be 35-75 an hour. That's fricking awful for a CCNP.

Off topic, I told one partner I was conversant in networking terms when we went out to a client. We're sitting in a room with 30 people, which included 4 client CCIEs talking about what kind of fiber to run between two buildings, etc. I wisely STFU. She then berated me for claiming I was a networking expert and fired me. B!tch, the fact that I knew I was way out of my league and didn't embarrass us was kind of important. Do most Big 4 consultants know that a list of 350 firewall rules, but has "permit IP ANY ANY" at the TOP of the ACLs is... uh ... bad? No, but I do. The last time I installed a T1 was 25 years ago, which is why I don't claim to be an expert. F it, I'm about to start cursing a lot.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's running my mouth! Never take the bait and work for an Indian owned company, no matter what they promise you.

Are you in BR, or someplace that actually has decent jobs?
