Tips

Technical abilities: Some applicants are afraid to get “technical” on their CVs in the fear that the prospective employer may not understand their technical terminologies. However, a Network Engineer’s job is a high-skilled position which requires specialised training and a learned skill-set to perform the work. The only effective way to convey your knowledge and expertise in this field is to mention these advanced skills, methods, equipment, processes and activities. Please note: Don’t overdo this because that might affect the readability of your CV.

Good Luck!
