Additional Facts About Jobs at Progent
Fulltime Work for Network Consultants, Computer Service Specialists, Security Experts, and Remote Help Technicians Progent wants to find staff-level, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA credentials; Cisco certified network consultants who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP or comparable security certification; and advanced network architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, business continuity, information protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for professionals who can join Progent's team of helpdesk support specialists and remote support professionals. In addition, We are looking for experienced administrators able to operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.
By maintaining a staff of skilled and motivated professionals, delivering world-class customer care, and offering a strong value-based fee model, Progent has managed to expand our customer list rapidly while providing consulting support to numerous businesses in Northern California and throughout the U.S.. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal client base.
If you are an information technology professional with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or working for our clients will expand your knowledge through cooperation with our group of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Progent's commitment to delivering information technology expertise and technical help to small companies will offer you the chance to work closely with key players and contribute appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.
We are looking for technical professionals that have recognized credentials related to their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other top security certifications. Naturally, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Still, the fact that a credential can not ensure excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you know your stuff, then most of these certifications should be no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then customers expect credentials. We can promote your talents, but you need to have a baseline of credentials for us to work with. In case you stand strongly against the idea of credentials, we can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not a good fit.
