Interview time...

[skbc]

Hey been a network engineer for about 6 years. I have an interview coming up next week. I did a preliminary interview and did well, but was told I would need to talk to RCDD standards in this next phased interview... not necessarily know it inside out.

Any pointers on things of significance that may be tossed my way during the interview process? Things that you'd ask an possible hire? thanks

You are right that the RCDD standards. (BICSI)standards cover a lot of ground. I would think they will get 568A/568B standards. You can search this here at the top of the page and spend days looking through all of it.

Cable pulling tension, wiring schemes, cable lengths, testing, proper labeling techniques, grounding and bonding, just to mention a few. These are areas I would brush up on.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

Dear skbc,
What are you applying for?
You have a terrific background (networking)and probably know many cabling install "standards". But to speak to RCDD standards implies book-knowledge, in-field experience and formalized testing. These guys/girls (RCDDs) did a lot of work to get certified (it is a huge perk). Let's hope the company wants a knowledgeable person with credentials and not just reference information.

Perhaps, the hiring company may offer to pay for you to get RCDD certified. Now that is worth fighting for.
Good Luck either way.
