That's some good advice!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 10:20 AM, leam hall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:leamhall@gmail.com" target="_blank">leamhall@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Here's what I've done in my career, besides the "10 vital tips" blog I wrote.<br>
<br>
1. Take the SAGE sysadmin level guidelines and work my way up from the<br>
bottom. Do everything, even if you don't need it at home.<br>
<br>
2. Look at what skills are requested for the jobs I want. Do those<br>
things and make sure they are highlighted on my resume.<br>
<br>
3. Volunteer time in Open Source projects for things I enjoy and want<br>
to do for pay.<br>
<br>
<br>
Things they always ask for:<br>
<br>
Shell scripting, Apache/Tomcat support, some sort of database support<br>
(Oracle/MySQL), networking expertise, DNS, e-mail, NFS/volume<br>
management, system configuring and monitoring (Nagios).<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
