What does it take to get a job as a sysadmin?

Question

System administration

What are the criteria for hiring a sysadmin? Maybe special. education, or just need to be able to and without a crust will be accepted?

Answer 1

Sysadmins are different. To be a "sysadmin" in a 10 PC office you usually need to be a "power user".
In order to be a system administrator in a company like Yandex or Mailrushechka, you need to be well versed in some large piece of Linux, a little worse to understand everything in general, and be able to raise-configure-diagnose anything at all. Worst case, follow the manual.

Answer 2

You have to want to eat. Strongly! I have already spoken about this many times. And the rest will come with time.

Answer 6

I was hired with no experience and crusts in the office of 300+ computers, because the authorities do not think about IT at all. At the interview, I honestly said that I am a confident Windows user, I have seen Linux in my eyes, I am not afraid of the command line and (most importantly!) Quickly search for and perceive information. So it doesn't take much to get a job.
After some time, I made an approximate list of what you need to know and be able to do in order to save this work:
1) Really quickly search for and perceive information
2) Have an understanding of the OSI network model, know the principles of computer operation. networks, navigate its first three levels, know the principles of addressing and routing, have an idea about basic network services (DHCP, DNS, and so on), be able to compress a twisted pair cable.
3) Be confident, and preferably an advanced user of Windows and have experience in resolving typical problems.
4) Have basic knowledge of working with Linux, especially with the command line interface
5) It is almost always required to have an understanding of Active Directory Domain Services and be able to perform basic administrative tasks with it: adding computers to the domain, creating users, etc.
6) Do not be lazy to read books. From myself I recommend the Pocket Consultant series (O'Reilly, I don't remember the author) on MS products and the Windows Server series: The Complete Guide (Morimoto).
Further, only experience, persistent reading of books and manuals, as well as specialized courses.
