Ok im just nervous and a little lazy i guess. I looked over the job description and its not even for a sysadmin(that was another opportunity i think)

anyway it looks like ill be answering tickets and phone calls as a "Technical Support Engineer."

>>900371

o-ok

>>900374

Dude you are getting bitch work. you are going to be doing pajeet tier "did you try turning it off then on?" support

Bring in a laptop running TempleOS so he knows you're a big-dicked smart boy

>>900385

Probably the only thing he or anyone else here is qualified to do.

>>900360 (OP)

Paint you hair pink and don't stop talking about gender related shit. If the interviewer doesn't give you the job at the end of your interview lay on the ground and start screaming about discrimination,literal rape and PTSD. They'll even throw in a promotion on the spot, trust me on this one

That not system administration

On this topic though, I wonder how hard it would be for me to get a real system administration job. I've maintained dedicated servers for a company for free and after that I have also administered my own vps for a couple of years. I've used GNU/Linux for nearing a decade so I feel like I should be fairly competent in that area. How much more would I need to learn?

Nowadays everyone wants to hire 25 year olds with a masters degree (preferably with a related masters, but just any random degree always trumps no degree) and at least 3 to 5 years of commercial professional experience. The further a candidate is from this ideal the less likely he is to be hired. Many HR departments insist on hiring exclusively such ideal candidates (or those who successfully fake to be such ideal candidates) and will rather look for them for months or even years on end rather than hiring someone who doesn't meet their rigid requirements. So, yea.

Find a growing company and you can bypass HR to a good degree. Those companies have staff that are more hands on on the hiring process, and might be desperate to find warm bodies who know what the fuck they're talking about.

>>900467

Fuck, find a company that actually does work and you can bypasss most of that shit. When middle managers need people to get things done, they aren't going to wait months for a job candidate (because they can't).

Most companies don't have big HR departments. Companies with HR departments are not representative of the industry. IBM and Google are the outlier not the norm.

Don't study anything on the night before. Just masturbate furiously until 2 am and then go to bed. That's how I've aced every single one of my interviews, no joke.
