Justin is right, it's hard to read your post. I'd also suggest that you obfuscate your phone number a bit; I wouldn't leave it in plain text due to internet crawlers.. change some numbers to words or something. And I think your best bet is the long and tedious processes of perfecting your resume and applying to everywhere, including to tech recruiters (they take a cut of the clients pay to you but will help get you in the door, not to mention they cover liability which companies like).. you might not get what you want right away but you'll find something and then you can try to get something better after that. Always keep looking. That's my advice. Take it or leave it. Good luck.

I agree. This forum is not an ideal place to seek employment. I myself am looking for a sysadmin job, and in Bako, unless you know someone personally who is in the IT field who can refer you, the only other possibility, which you should be doing by necessity anyway, is perfecting your resume and applying to every relevant job opening.

We could make this productive and generate a discussion about ways to verify our knowledge to assist in job hunting. For example, having a certificate and/or body of work indicating that one knows a programming language, rather than the laughable claim of knowing all the codes. Specifically naming distributions of Linux that you are familiar with is helpful for gauging one's experience level. Claiming to have experience with all of them is impossible. These are some of the indications that someone is either joking or is in fact a joke. There is a determining factor whether to take someone serious or not, do they have a github account?

Lol, I agree. Arch Linux Distros are about the only Linux type/flavor I don't have much experience in, guess I never wanted spend as much time customizing as it can require. And for the last year, I've been doing Google Foobar, Codewars, and Codefights challenges. If you pass all of Google Foobar's challenges you can get recruited and Codewars offers certification.. kind of. As a note, it's not all that hard to get some certifications online, etc.

[Douglas James]

I always thought the tried and true method of verification was to show your work, i.e you're looking to land a C++ dev gig, you should have quite the portfolio of past and current projects, outcomes, progress, presentation, etc.. Certainly github would be the place you would have all of your coding, your progress, and any collaboration you'd be involved in (after all, I would think productive collaboration would imply having an open mind to other devs ideas). If I'm not mistaken, most IT interviews involve scenarios and tests, to prove you have the essential knowledge needed to even be considered for the position.

When I first started using Linux, I read about Arch, and it was nonetheless intimidating. A couple of years later, I decided I wanted to start learning, and forced myself to try Arch. The first time I installed was in VirtualBox, and after a couple hours of install time (so I wouldn't screw it up), rebooted, and blank screen. Error after error, and 5 re-installs later, I finally got one to boot. I've probably done close to 20 installs of Arch, both manual installs and GUI (such as Manjaro), and truth be told, I appreciate how Arch has forced me to intimately understand the basic processes of a Linux distro, the things you don't put any thought into when you do a normal GUI install as in Ubuntu or Fedora.

Gentoo, on the other hand, is beyond my scope of knowledge. Maybe I'll give it a go when I have a few months to burn, lol.

There will be whiteboards. :)

I do not understand this post, pure spam. Has nothing to do with computers, linux, etc.. it's a story and honestly not all that compelling. Maybe I'm stupid for giving as much effort as I did, 5 or so minutes. SPAM, don't waste your time guys!

[Douglas James]

Question... what exactly are "warm regards"?

[T Smith]

That's a different person. But yeah.. I'll check the link and BH accordingly.
