Where to get experience for a vacancy sys. administrator?

Question

System administration

The situation is as follows: I am finishing my last year of study (department of secondary vocational education), in the summer the army is waiting. Officially, he did not work anywhere, only minor part-time jobs (fix the printer, assemble the computer, clean it from dust). He coped with such a job just fine, then he began to look in the direction of system administration. There is a wealth of knowledge about networks: OSI, TCP / IP, various protocols, practical work in Packet Tracer, in front of me are almost read volumes ICND1 and ICND2, i.e. In theory, I'm fine. In practice, I worked with a fryakha, I completely figured out how to turn it into a gateway, Linux, raised Apache, virtual machines, routers - I worked with everything that I had the opportunity to work with at home. But I'm already tired of everything and I want to go to work, but I live in the north of the Moscow Region, where the nearest city is Dubna, and there are vacancies for some programmers.
Now, if there is more or less some idea about me: The
question, in fact, is this: having come from the army, where should I go? Is it only Moscow if I want to work normally?
I live for ~ 2 hours of driving, at first there will be no opportunity to move closer at all. But I can’t find work in the district: every day I monitor headhunter and jobmo, everywhere I need a tower and experience from 2+ years. I see vacancies for an enikey worker less and less. Mb, something can be done remotely? It’s just that you can already die from idleness before a diploma, but no matter how I look for work, there is no, and I don’t know what else to do with myself. Tell me, how did you start your career?

Answer 1

After some time, I decided to answer my own question.
He served in the army (of course, sitting at a PC, and reading books on networks, dreaming of a civilian).
Upon arrival, I was killed without work for 2 months, trying to go to Moscow, but I wasn’t enough - it’s too far to travel and it’s costly when there is no money for the road.
I monitored sites with jobs near the house, poked into all the IT and so on vacancies. They answered one - " Experienced Linux-admin ", offered an interview. I didn't pass it, of course. However, the company implemented Asterisk, which I heard about from the side of my ear, and conducted courses on it officially in coordination with Digium. And I was offered to go through them for free , having worked in return for the same course time (week 5/2).
I upgraded in IP-telephony, Linux, virtualization, translating technical articles from English :) As a result, they offered a job, the result was a ready-made log server from the ELK bundle + studying and wrapping everything in Ansible. Everything was studied from scratch and by the Google method and it turned out very successfully.
Then I had to go to a factory near my house, where there was a whole corporation under my nose, which I did not know about. The network is in a sorry state. Here the skills of purchasing equipment, organizing a network, laying and installing SCS, communicating with suppliers, the notorious but necessary 1C and a server for it were honed. Immediately, knowledge of Asterisk came in handy very much. And this is just half a year after the army.
If anyone stumbles upon my answer with the same situation - never despair and look for all possible ways. everything will work out.

Answer 2

Believe it or not, I started studying administration in the army. After a month of service, an ensign came in and asked for help with a computer at headquarters. So then I stayed there, there was a server, even my own local network, a lot of books and time to pick it all up. After the service, he immediately got a job as an enikeem - the benefit of experience was gained. Who seeks will always find. Go to interviews more often, find out what the employer wants, mostly it's easy to google and learn.

Answer 3

I wanted to eat wildly. He worked with whomever he could. From a security guard to a security guard installer. I wanted to work with networks, but there was no strong opportunity. The Internet was expensive and began to distribute it to his friends easily. Since he himself had unlimited. Stuffed his hand in the networks and other crap. Until one day, through an acquaintance, they said that they needed a specialist with high uptime and constantly in touch. There were a lot of shoals at first. I had to compensate with googling and diligence. Gradually, more clients started to come in. I try not to forget 2 things. High uptime and constantly be in touch. Most of the day is spent in self-education and picking something new at home. I rarely visit clients physically. I would like to take it to the next level. But there is no opportunity yet. Therefore, you need to be able to work with what is. And not what you want.

Answer 4

but they did not take it, because the upcoming service in the army did not suit them.

Do you want to go to work in law enforcement agencies in the future?
If not, why do you want to join the army?
Go for a medical examination, there are no healthy people, there are underexamined ones;)

At the university, from the second year, practices actually begin on them, and you should have had your

Answer 6

Before getting my first official job as an assistant system administrator, I spent 2 years looking for a donor to take me on. All this time he worked (running with his tongue out) for doshirakers-outsourcers in black. That's how I started....my career.
