[ale] OT: How many Linux guys are looking for work in ATL?

[leam hall]

Here's what I've done in my career, besides the "10 vital tips" blog I wrote.

1. Take the SAGE sysadmin level guidelines and work my way up from the
bottom. Do everything, even if you don't need it at home.

2. Look at what skills are requested for the jobs I want. Do those
things and make sure they are highlighted on my resume.

3. Volunteer time in Open Source projects for things I enjoy and want
to do for pay.


Things they always ask for:

Shell scripting, Apache/Tomcat support, some sort of database support
(Oracle/MySQL), networking expertise, DNS, e-mail, NFS/volume
management, system configuring and monitoring (Nagios).

Hope that helps.
