Mike I may not have the right position but may be able to assist, e.g. checking out your resume, maximizing the formatting, presentation, keywords, etc. As a recruiter I've worked with a lot of resumes and it could be a helpful step. You could email me offline at [email protected].

Over the past few yrs, I've picked up a few small projs and worked for a few small startups as a Linux Sys Admin. But I've found it very difficult to move past this point. I was hoping that having significant network engineering experience would offset those other short-comings, but it hasn't been the case. Each time I apply for a Linux Sys Admin job posting I fall short mostly because I don't have x many yrs of "on the job" experience w. a particular distro (Red Hat, Suse) or my lack of "on the job" scripting experience w. Bash, PHP, Perl. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
