Re: ISP Job

What is it windows desktop helpdesk support? That’s the most common, but the least useful for ISPs. If you have help 
desk support troubleshooting network problems, that’s more useful.

Your Cisco skills will get you in an entry level position at most WISPs, and MPLS skills are a plus, as many larger 
WISPs rub MPLS in their core. Other technologies to acquire skill in are WiFi standards, radio configuration, spanning 
tree protocol, SNMP, and PPPoE.

Start calling WISPs to offer your services as an entry level tech. WISPs are the fastest growing service provider 
segment.
