SyS Admin jobs

sina2011

Hey guys,
So I was looking at some sys admin jobs on the internet and the skills that they required was everything for e.g

Redhat
Win2008
Citrix
Commvault
SAN/Storage
Exchange
VCP
and the list goes on.

I will be applying for sys admin jobs soon and my current skillset is:
MCITP:EA
Exchange 2010
VCP5
I think by what im seeing on seek im going to find a hard time finding a sys admin job.
Does anyone have any advice on how to acheive all these.
Cheers,

Usually the list of skills in job listings is a dream list. They know that they can't expect people to have all the skills listed as it would take a brain too large to store all the information that they wan't. Usually they want 60-80% of what is listed. If you have within that range then I would apply. Heck if you don't have it within that range apply any way. Worst that could happen is they don't call best is that you get a job out of it.

EA? Exchange? VCP5? Hired in a heartbeat!

There will be some roles you aren't the right fit for. Others are a little aggressive on the job ads. Just apply away. If your resume and interviewing skills are up to the ask, you will have no problems.

Plus, the additional skillsets you don't currently possess, you could learn on the job.

Yeah man you should get hired easy enough. Just send your resume through anyways, dont worry about not being able to fulfil all their requirements. These HR schmucks put in every keyword they know, I saw a job the other day on Seek which wanted applicants to be proficient in - Exchange 2010 administration, 2003-2010 migration, AD, Cisco (preferably CCNP/CCIE), VMware vSphere 5, vCloud (preferably certified), Juniper (JNCIE preferred), Citrix (minimum CCAA) and Avaya Voice specialist. Ever heard of anyone who may be well versed in all of this?

Tailor your resume to every job you apply for. Write a cover letter too, keep it concise though.

I don't think you will have a hard time unless your area isn't very big in tech and you have experience to back up those skills.
