Cisco certification job analysis.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
One of the projects that I eventually intend to perform at a larger and more detailed scale is an info tech job analysis. That is still a work for the future as there is more research and coding to accurately gather data and present it in a manner that makes sense. In the mean time, I decided to do a quicker analysis using a fairly broad scope to gain a bit of insight as to where various Cisco related jobs are at a state by state basis. What I did was perform a query on Monster.com for various Cisco certifications for each state as well as Washington D.C. In the following table are the results of my search.
Nationwide Cisco Certification Job Analysis
Please keep in mind, this is a very simplistic analysis. This is simply a process of searching Monster.com for various keywords (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, etc) for each of the 50 states as well as Washington D.C. for a total of 459 searches. Do bear in mind that these results are not indicative of the total number of Cisco related jobs in each state, as some of the listings may have included two or more certifications. In addition, this search does not take into account any of the CCNA specializations nor CCIE specializations. This is just a general overview of what was listed on Monster.com on February 4, 2009. If you prefer graphical results, click on the State name for the corresponding bar graph. I did leave out the CCDE certification from the table below as it was causing troubles with the format of this page, however there was only one (1) result in Maryland for the CCDE certification. I appreciate any comments or tips, as well as what you would like to see on future more details analysis of job listings.
