Role will support the operation of the in-house computer network. This includes installing, configuring, maintaining, and optimizing all network hardware, software, and communication links while ensuring minimal network downtime. Qualified candidate must be motivated self starter with an outgoing personality and strong communication skills. Candidate will also provide part-time support for Windows XP based computers.

Thanks also to tech exams. The knowledge here is great.

Of course, you must celebrate by bringing in the obligatory "virtual donuts" to all us TE members tomorrow morning.
I vote for virtual bagles.... and a virtual pizza lunch tomorrow.

Congratulations! Did I spell this right?
i hope to do the same one day.
do you have any advice on what you did and how you made it there? any specific certs, additional learning etc?
thanks man and good luck with the job - you'll love it.
I obtained my A+, Network + and Linux+ certs. I have a lab set up at my house. Win2K3 server, Linux server as my file and web server, and xp machine. I just added another Linux and a Dell running my ESX server. I am using my Linux box as an NFS server to host my vmware machines. I have three currently running. Another win2k3 server, an XP machine and CentOS. I am also studying for my CCNA. I have a 2950 switch, (2) 2500 series router and a 3600 series route. I am constantly reading and trying to study. Just experiment and be passionate about what you do. Stay humble and leech as much information as possible.
