Fresh Telecom Engineering Graduate Feeling Lost: How to choose a track & tackle the "Experience Required" dilemma?

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated with a degree in Telecommunications Engineering, and I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by how broad the field is. I would really appreciate some personal advice and insights from experienced engineers on how to take the first steps:

Choosing a Specialization: How did you choose your specific track (RF, IP/Transmission, Core, Fiber)? Which domain is currently in high demand and has good future prospects?

Skills & Certifications: What are the essential skills or certifications (like CCNA or others) that you consider a "must-have" for a fresh graduate to get job-ready?

The "Experience Required" Loop: Most job postings require 1–3 years of experience. How can a fresh graduate overcome this barrier and build a compelling resume?

I'd love to hear your personal stories and any advice you wish you had known right after graduation. Thanks!
