Depends on where you work I guess.
Usually you have to care for the systems, check that no filesystem is getting full (df), check local mails (mail) sometimes, do shell scripting to make your day easier ie. write scripts that do checks on stuff like that mentioned checking for free filesystems.
You will also add/modify/delete users, groups, filesystems, directories and files etc., alter permissions etc., configure hardware and so on.

I wrote a categorized list for AIX/Linux commands for our apprentices - maybe it helps a bit to look up which commands might be interessting.

Code:
        LINUX                   AIX
===================================================
Text:
        cat                     "
        more                    "
        pg                      "
        cut                     "
        sort                    "
        grep                    "
        head                    "
        tail                    "
        join                    "
        paste                   "
        split                   "
        csplit                  "
        *awk                    "
        *sed                    "

Files:
        ls                      "
        cd                      "
        cp                      "
        mv                      "
        find                    "
        tr                      "

        which                   "
        whatis                  "
        tar                     "
        gzip                    "
        bzip2                   "
        compress                "

Processes:
        ps                      "
        kill                    "

        &                       "
        ctrl+z                  "
        fg                      "
        bg                      "

        who (am i)              "

        wget                    -
        yast                    smit(ty)

It would be rediculous to demand that you know many or the half of them as an operator, I think. But maybe you can surprise them Smilie


Oh, the list is a bit messed up sorry - I try to fix that. Basically it has 2 columns Smilie and at the end "yast" is especially for SuSE Linux.
