If one has written scripts/automation tools, and released under a F/OSS license, please provide the source or repository URL. 2. If one has been part of a F/OSS project where you have worked with Infrastructure activities (Fedora Infrastructure [1], for example), please provide references to tickets that you have handled. 3. If one has been involved in online support/forum discussions, refer the problems that you helped or solved to prove your knowledge. 4. If one has helped setup systems, LAN, servers in a community event or lab or college or any other organization, please provide references. 5. If one has written documentation that is simple, easy to read, comprehend, and doesn't make any assumptions, please provide the sources. 6. If one writes something in their resume, make sure that you really, really know what you have written, rather than just copy-paste skills from other resumes or online sources, because, it is pretty straight-forward to tell the difference. >From interviewing "certified" candidates for the last five years, I have decided not to pick any, for their lack of hands-on experience, and the lack of curiosity or enthusiasm to seek more knowledge, and be up-to-date with technology, know-how, and skills.
