Hey Everyone, good day.
I have 2 network engineer interviews coming up. One is a senior role. I am a Network+, CCNA, CCNP, with 4-5 years in networking experience. Most if not all of my jobs don't use routing protocols, and I wouldn't really consider them "enterprise" level. I do work with layer 3/2 switches, firewalls, large wireless systems etc.
However, I see these roles have things like EIGRP, F5 Load Balancers, OSPF, etc. type of info. I had the intro interviews and while I think I did pretty good, there is a few things I just dont have experience with. How do I answer the "do you have experience with OSPF in a enterprise?" question? Sure I'v labbed it a thousand times, i get the concepts. I just havent had a role with it.
Same with f5 load balancers (though i did a bit of research on this, dosn't seem that hard honestly). As well as a few other technologies. I mean, do I lie, or uh "fake it till you make it"? I hoenstly could figure this stuff out, im pretty sharp and skilled. But when they ask do you have experieince with X right now im saying "i have had some light experience with X and have ran through this in many labs, etc. I am a quick learner etc".
But how do I go about nailing this without having the yes answer to all the experience?
I'm really trying to break out of my underpaid pay scale right now, and appreciate any feedback.
