Although degrees and IT certifications can be great eye candy for a resume, experience is king. As you may have encountered, a lack of experience can be a major roadblock to getting interest from employers in your early years.
Though you might have the Network+ or CCNA cert, for instance, have you actually configured or played around with a network? Even if you already have held a network technician or administrator position, you might not have experience with all aspects of networking yet. Fortunately there are ways to get hands-on network administration experience, even at home — and most don’t cost anything.
In this story we discuss nine self-taught labs on various networking topics, where I explain the basics and how to get started. I begin with easier, newbie-level projects and progress to more complex ones requiring more thought and time. Some of the tasks take just a few minutes, while others are suitable for a weekend project.
