I say go for it

I've interviewed LOTS of network guys over the years. Half of the time their resumes look like the glossary or index of a Cisco book, and most of the time they have NO CLUE.

I hate it when I start asking about stuff they did and I start getting "we did this, and we did that." Most of the time, there's an engineer somewhere that created configs and they were the grunt that pasted them in.
