Apparently I did quit my job for my own reasons and now it seems to be tough to find another network engineer position.


I used to work in a data center role. I have done routing/switching/security and have worked with the below hardware.

Fortinet - 5 years

Cisco - 6+ years

Meraki - 3 years
Cradle point - 5 years

TCP/IP/networking etc.
IPSEC/SSL VPN
Data center vpn conc 15000+ vpns
BGP/OSPF/EIGRP routing
Wifi deployment/troubleshooting and design


Can't find a job with my experience, what am I missing here?


Certs
CCNA R/S
CCNA Security
Fortinet NSE
Cisco Meraki
Comptia Net/Sec+


I am guessing I need to add a CCNP and python to my cert/experience list?

You didn't say where you are located.

You should not quit a job without having another one lined up, employers discriminate against people who are out of work, and since you quit - that's going to make it harder for you to get a job.

Next time, do a stealth job search and look for a job while currently employed. Employers LOVE passive candidates.

You have far more experience than me and those experiences you listed there seem what many of the companies look for. Maybe its your location or your resume that is preventing you from getting a job.
