this is so true...

sell your skills, any skills.


when I went in for my first job as a unix admin it went a bit like this:

Q. What size company do you work for at the moment?
A. sorry but I am not employed at all right now...

Q. what versions of unix have you used with your last job?
A. just solaris 2.6 on some really old hardware at home.

Q. what have you done at home that makes you at all qualified for this job?!?!
A. well I built my own jumpstart server in VM-ware on windows so I could jumpstart my old sparc server.
then i got mysql running so i could do a perl/CGI website with apache.

Q. did that go well?
A. yep, site has been online for over a year.

Q. how do you backup of this "one old server" ?
A. I have a cron that dumps the CGI and sql database every night, it goes to an offsite backup automatically.

Q. offsite backup? sounds like a lot of cost for someone with out a job?
A. I do things on the cheap, it's just zip file emailed to my gmail account :-)

Boss: looks like you are good at getting the job done with whatever tools you can find, we like that...
we will take you on for 6 months, if you don't screwup too bad then you have a job.


that was 6 years ago...

I am now a unix admin who runs 400 solaris boxes.
