With the skill-set you have right now,you should be accepted any smaller organisations or say like a start-up organisation easily.Especially for linux based admin's there is a wide scope in the industry.Where are you located ? I might hook you up with a few start-ups .
I'm in Encino in Northern Los Angeles area. I'm trying to limit my commute to 30 mile radius. A start-up to be a good idea would have to have someone capable in the skills I don't have and only need me for what I already know or be willing to train me which would be ideal. I thought it would be easy to be accepted with my existing skill set as well and have applied for almost 100 positions but so far they have selected someone else or afraid I would get bored and not stay long for the entry level positions or most commonly not respond to my application at all. It would be great if you could hook me up with any company.
I have no experience with virtualization, clustering or website administration. At least not with the high level software commonly used like VMware or Apache Tomcat . I've worked quite a bit with various NAS but never with SAN. All of my experience is at a much lower level with common Linux tools. Like LVM and NFS. I understand the principals of these things and having the higher level tools would actually have made my job much easier. Having to work with the low level tools probably has made me more intimate with the processes involved but the techniques I've used would not be practical in a larger data center. I need someone to start me at an entry level and put a little effort into teaching me the higher level tools. I should take to them easy given my background. I've done a lot of scrypting but using c-shell primarily. C-shell was the API for the engineering application I specialized in and I got in the habit of using it for everything.
