Network engineer interviews tend to get technical fast. Someone asks you to walk through how a packet gets from a laptop to a server, or why two VLANs can't talk to each other, and you find out whether you've practiced the material or only read about it. For most people the gap isn't knowledge, it's rehearsal.
Codelivly's Network Engineer book series was written with that in mind, and the career material is built into the books rather than added at the end. L1, for example, ends every chapter with practice questions and an answer key, and includes 100 interview questions with answers, a 100-question practice bank, a 100-question final assessment, a sample resume and cover letter, and 15 portfolio project ideas.
L2 adds 151 interview questions and a career development section with 20 portfolio projects. L3, the senior-level book, has 235+ interview questions across 21 categories, 50 architecture and system-design questions in the style used for senior interviews, a full capstone project, and 25 portfolio projects. Across the three books that comes to over 450 interview questions.
Portfolio projects matter for a simple reason. "I studied OSPF" and "here's the OSPF lab I built and documented" are two different sentences in an interview, and the second one gives the interviewer something to ask you about.
What's in each book for interview prep:
- L1 (£14.99): 100 interview questions with answers, 100-question practice bank, 100-question final assessment, sample resume and cover letter, 15 portfolio project ideas
- L2 (£19.99): 151 interview questions, career development section, 20 portfolio projects
- L3 (£24.99): 235+ interview questions, 50 system-design interview questions, capstone project, 25 portfolio projects
On price: the bundle with all three books is £39.99 instead of £59.99 bought separately, a standing discount rather than a countdown. If you'd rather start smaller, L1 alone is £14.99, assumes no prior networking experience, and is written for entry-level job seekers, Network+ and CCNA candidates, and NOC technicians.
To be straightforward about what this is: preparation material, not a placement service. Nothing in it guarantees a job offer, and it isn't tied to any single certification, so if you need a guide that follows one vendor's exam blueprint, this isn't that. It's for building the understanding and the practice that interviews tend to test.
