What should a network engineer resume include?
Network engineer resumes in India are filtered on the gear and protocols you have run: routing and switching, firewalls, wireless, SD-WAN and data centre networks, plus CCNA or CCNP certification. Recruiters want site counts, device numbers, uptime and incident closure times. Name your vendors, the network size and whether you worked in a NOC, a project team or both.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP)
- Switching and VLAN design
- Firewall configuration and policy management
- WAN, MPLS and SD-WAN
- Wireless network design
From our sample resumes:
- Vignesh states the number of devices he monitors and the issues he resolves himself, which tells a NOC manager he is ready for L1 or L2 work.
- Harish quantifies sites, migrations and firewall clean-ups, giving a clear picture of the scale and type of enterprise network he can handle.
