How to get hired as a Unix sys admin?
What do employers look for?
I have my B.S in Comp Sci and minor in chemistry from UNC.
But my GPA is a bit low (3.0)
I'm studying for my Sun Solaris 9 certification.
Is a certification and a Bachelors enough to get a job?
Or do you need some related work experience?
How hard is it to get a sys admin job?
