It's with the same state government I've been working for the last year, but it's in a different department, at a higher pay grade, and I had to interview for it like everyone else. Semantics don't matter though because I'm ecstatic. This marks my return to systems and network administration from a year of helpdesk (kind of a complicated story). I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing but a couple of the big projects that were mentioned in the interview were a few dozen vSphere deployments and deploying ASAs to encrypt sensitive traffic, both of which sound great to me. I think this is the first time certifications actually helped me get a job. Maybe, not directly, but most of the technical interview questions were about virtualization and networking, and I'm not sure whether I would have known the answers as well as I do if I hadn't studied for the VCP and CCNP. These forums have always been a great resource, so I dare say being a member here also contributed to my getting the job. Anyway, thanks for reading, good luck to everyone else looking for a job/transfer/promotion.
