Also, it helps to do something unique that distinguishes you from the
masse' of other people in the field. Write a tool, some step-by-step
guides, a book, etc. In short, anything that says you have skills and
abilities that go above and beyond the norm.

That's key. I think writing procedures at MediaOne was the best training. Sure, there's tons of geeks out there that can setup a linux box. But how many can write a simple, short, and easy to follow set of procedures to follow when the thing breaks and you're on vacation out of cell phone range.


Mangers LOVE procedures. Making them generic as possible is also important. Also keep stripped version handy to show with your resume (you know, with all your company specific stuff out).
