[ale] Linux Server Basics Trainer requested by CNN

[Lightner, Jeff]

Like I said it was typically in larger shops.   In shops where you have only 1-4 admins you often can't really afford to bring junior admins on.   Just getting seasoned admins to really feel comfortable that they know YOUR environment (as opposed to the technical job itself) usually takes about 6 months.

While I might expect any admin to know how to add a user I would NOT expect any admin to know WHICH system is the Payroll dev application server as opposed to the EDI proxy server on day one .   Sure you can have written lists etc... but you have to show them where to find those lists.   And that is just a dirt simple example.

Not on ALE-jobs. Have been subscribed since 2004 and out of over 800 postings have applied exactly once. Two possibly three more that I might have applied for had they been closer.

Entry level admin in the Kennasaw area posted October 19 2010. Wonder who got it?
