What should I be looking for? Career Advice

[PPLdude]

Sorry, I don't have some cool interesting networking question.

Nonetheless it's related-able to networking.

As said in a post a while back, I have Comptia A+ and am currently studying CCENT -> CCNA R&S (Loving it so far)

However I need to really start looking at getting a job. I need the old ballies or some young knowledgeable people to share some insight.

Should I look for a job now, or wait until I have my CCENT (Early Feb)?

What kind of job should I aim for if I want to go into network eng or sec (Ill see how it goes)

My prime scenario would be working for a big corp in the IT department then grow into somewhere in networking.

I have the ability and motivation to study the work, it's just i'm not sure where I can apply it and grow.

I have 0 work experience and am still young (Matriculated in 2015)

I saw http://hetznercareers.applytojob.com/apply/x2286b/Technical-Customer-Service-Consultant , but again, I am unsure if this kind of job will put me 1 step closer to getting my greasy hands on some servers.

I have seen no NOC jobs in Cape Town in case someone recommends that.

I do think it would be good to get some work experience. Hetzner would be a good place to start (I started there). You won´t get your hands dirty with physical servers, but you will be working on them remotely. There are growth opportunities at Hetzner and could be a very good stepping stone.

Thanks a lot, will definitely send my details through to them.
