Getting Linux Jobs
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
In a qualitative review of job posting websites, even highly skilled Linux administrators would be hamstrung to succeed in getting to the stage of an interview.
|
||||
|
||||
All of this results in hundreds of decent and skilled people being snubbed without cause simply because today's job market requires a few extra tools to increase the odds.
|
||||
|
||||
I have two colleagues and a cousin who have all received certifications with RedHat, managed quite extensive server rooms, and received earnest recommendations from former employers.
|
||||
|
||||
All of these skills, certifications and experience come to naught as they apply to employer ads that are crudely constructed by someone hurriedly cutting and pasting snippets of "skill words" from a list of technical terms.
|
||||
|
||||
Not surprisingly, today's politeness has gone the way of the bird, and a **non-response** from companies posting ads seems to be the new way of communicating.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, it also means that these recruiters/HR personnel probably did **not** get the best candidate.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason I can say this with such conviction is because of the type of buffoonery that takes place so often when creating job ads in the first place.
|
||||
|
||||
Walter, another [Reallylinux.com][3] guest writer, presented how [**Job Want Ads Have Gone Mad**][4].
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps he's right. However, I believe every Linux job seeker can avoid pitfalls of a job hunt by keeping in mind **three key facts** about job ads.
|
||||
|
||||
First, few advertisements for Linux administrators are exclusively about Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Bear in mind the occasional Linux system administrator job, where you would actually be using Linux on servers. Instead, many jobs that rise up on a "Linux administrator" search are actually referring to a plethora of 'NX operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here is a quote from a **"Linux Administrator"** job posting:
|
||||
This role will provide support for build system integration, especially operating system installation support for BSD applications...
|
||||
|
||||
Or another ad declares in the bowels of its content:
|
||||
Windows administration experience required.
|
||||
|
||||
Ironically, if you show up to interview for any of these types of jobs and focus on Linux, they probably will not choose you.
|
||||
|
||||
Even more importantly, if you simply include Linux as your expertise, they may not even bother with your resume, because they can't tell the difference between UNIX, BSD, Linux, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
As a result, if you are conscientious and only include Linux on your resume, you are automatically out. But change that Linux to UNIX/Linux and you end up getting a bit farther in the human resources bureaucracy.
|
||||
|
||||
I had two colleagues that ended up changing this on their resumes and getting a much better hit ratio for interviews, which were still slim pickings because most job ads are tailored with some particular person already in mind. The main intent behind such job ads being a cover for the ass of the department making the claim of having an open job.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, the only person at the company who cares at all about the system administrator position is the technical lead/manager hiring for the slot. Others at the company, including the HR contact or the management could not care less.
|
||||
|
||||
I remember sitting in a board room as a fly on the wall, hearing one executive vice president refer to server administrators as "dime a dozen geeks." How wrong they are to suggest this.
|
||||
|
||||
Ironically, one day should the mail system fail, or the PBX connectivity hiccup, or perhaps core business files disappear from the intranet, these same executives are the first to get on the phone and threaten to fire the system admins.
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps if they would stop leaving so many hot air telephone messages, or filling their emails with 35MB photographs of another vice president's fishing trip and wife, the servers wouldn't be so problematic.
|
||||
|
||||
Be aware that a Linux administrator ad, or any job posting for server administrator is placed because someone at the TECHNICAL level sees an urgent need for staffing. You're not going to get any empathy talking to HR or any leader of the company. Instead, take the time to find out who the hiring technical manager is and try to telephone them.
|
||||
|
||||
You can always call them directly because you have some "specific technical questions" you know the HR person could not answer. This opens the dialogue with the person who actually cares that the position is filled and ensures you get a foot in because you took the time for personal contact, even if it was a 60 second phone call.
|
||||
|
||||
What if the HR beauracracy won't let you through?
|
||||
|
||||
Start asking as many tech questions as possible direct to the HR hiring contact, such as how their Linux clusters are setup and do they run VMs exclusively? Anything relatively technical will send these HR people in a tizzy and allow you the question: "may I contact the technical manager of the team?"
|
||||
|
||||
If the response is a fluffy "maybe" or "I'll get back to you on that" they already filled the slot in their mind with someone else two weeks earlier, such as the HR staff member's fiance. They simply wanted it to look less like nepotism and more like indeterminism with a dash of egoism.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"They simply wanted it to look less like nepotism and more like indeterminism with a dash of egoism."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
So take the time to find out who is the direct TECHNICAL leader hiring for the position and talk to them. It can make a difference and get you past some of the baloney.
|
||||
|
||||
Third, few job ads today include any semblance of reality.
|
||||
|
||||
I've seen enough ads requiring a junior system administrator with expertise that senior level experts don't have, to know the plan is to list the blue sky wish list and then find out who applies.
|
||||
|
||||
In this situation, the Linux administrator ad you apply for, should include some key phrases for which you already have experience or certifications.
|
||||
|
||||
The trick is to so overload your resume with the key phrases that MATCH their ad, it becomes almost impossible for them to determine which phrases you left out.
|
||||
|
||||
This doesn't necessarily translate to a job, but it often adds enough intrigue to get you an interview, which now a days is a major step.
|
||||
|
||||
By understanding and applying these three techniques, hopefully those seeking Linux administrator jobs have a head start on those who have only a slim chance in hell.
|
||||
|
||||
Even if these tips don't get you interviews right away, you can use the experience and awareness when you go to the next trade show, or company sponsored technical conference.
|
||||
|
||||
I strongly recommend you regularly attend these as well, especially if they are reasonably close, as they always provide a kick start to networking.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that job networking now a days is a pseudonym for "getting the gossip on which companies are actually hiring and which ones are just lying about jobs to give the appearance of growth for shareholders."

Linux 求职建议
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
通过对招聘网站数据的仔细研究，我们发现，即使是非常有经验的 Linux 程序员，也很难在面试中表现的很出色。
|
||||
|
||||
这就导致了很多优秀并且有经验的人找不到合适的工作，所以我们可能需要一些手段来提高自己的竞争力。
|
||||
|
||||
我有两个同事和一个表哥，他们都有 RedHat 认证，管理过比较大的服务器机房，也都收到过老员工的推荐。
|
||||
|
||||
可是，在他们应聘的时候，所有的这些证书、本身的能力、工作经验好像都没有起到任何作用，他们面对的是一些
|
||||
从术语列表中临时挑选的一些技术词汇片段所组成的问题。
|
||||
|
||||
现如今，礼貌变得过时了，**不回应**变成了公司招人时最好的沟通方式。
|
||||
|
||||
这同样也意味着大多公司的招聘或者人事可能会**错过**非常优秀的应聘者。
|
||||
|
||||
我之所以敢说的如此肯定，是因为现在招聘广告大多数看上去都非常的滑稽。
|
||||
|
||||
Walter ，[Reallylinux.com][3] 另一位特约撰稿人，发表过一篇关于 [招聘广告疯掉了][4] 的文章。
|
||||
|
||||
他说的没错，可是我认为 Linux 工作应聘者可以通过注意招聘广告的**三个关键词**避免落入陷阱。
|
||||
|
||||
首先，很少会有 Linux 领域的招聘广告只对 Linux 有要求 。
|
||||
|
||||
一定要注意 Linux 相关工作的工作场合，公司很有可能会要求你在服务器上跑 Linux ，另外，通过 “Linux” 搜索得到的结果有很多实际上是会涉及到 NX （数字化产品开发系统）的。
|
||||
|
||||
举个例子，现在有一则关于 **Linux 管理员招聘** 的招聘广告：
|
||||
参与建立系统集成，尤其是 BSD 应用的系统安装...
|
||||
|
||||
或者有一些其他的要求：
|
||||
有 Windows 系统管理经验的
|
||||
|
||||
最为讽刺的是，如果你在应聘面试的时候表现出精通 Linux 的话，你可能不会被聘用。
|
||||
|
||||
另外，如果你直接把 Linux 写在你的特长或者专业上，他们可能都不会仔细看你的简历，因为他们根本区分不了 UNIX， BSD， Linux。
|
||||
|
||||
最终的结果就是，如果你只在简历上写了 Linux ，你可能会被直接掉，但是如果你改成 UNIX/Linux 的话，可能会走得更远。
|
||||
|
||||
我有两个同事最后修改了他们的简历，然后获得了更好的面试机会，但是依旧没有被聘用，因为大多数招聘广告其实已经内定人员了，这些招聘信息被放出来仅仅是为了表现出他们有招聘的想法。
|
||||
|
||||
第二点，公司里真正需要了解系统管理的只有特聘的科技主管，其他人包括人事或管理层根本不关心这个。
|
||||
|
||||
我记得有一次开会的时候，听见一个执行副总裁把服务器管理人员说成“一毛钱一打的人”，这种想法是多么的奇怪啊。
|
||||
|
||||
讽刺的是，等到邮件系统出故障，交换机连接时不时会断开，或者核心商业文件从企业内网中消失的时候，这些总裁又是最先打电话给系统管理员的。
|
||||
|
||||
或许如果他们不整天说些空话，或者不往邮件里塞满妻子的照片和旅行途中的照片的话，服务器可能就不会崩溃。
|
||||
|
||||
在找工作的时候一定要关注招聘 Linux 运维或者服务器管理人员的广告，因为这种一般都是在公司技术层有迫切的需求的时候才会有的。你也不需要和人事或者公司高层聊什么，搞清楚谁要招聘然后打电话给他们。
|
||||
|
||||
你需要直接联系他们因为有些技术问题人事是解决不了的，即使你只有 60 秒的时间可以和他们交流，你也必须抓住这个机会和真正有需求并且懂技术的人沟通。
|
||||
|
||||
那如果人事不让你进怎么办呢？
|
||||
|
||||
记得问人事一些技术性问题，比如说他们的 Linux 群组是如何建立的，能不能独立运行虚拟机。这些技术性的问题会让人事变得不耐烦，最后让你有机会问出“我能不能直接联系你们团队的技术人员”。
|
||||
|
||||
如果对方的回答是“应该可以”或者“稍后回复你”，那么他们可能已经在两周前就已经计划好了找一个人来填补这个空缺，比如说人事部员工的未婚夫。他们只是不希望看起来太像裙带主义，而是带有一点利己主义的不确定主义。
|
||||
|
||||
所以一定要记得花点时间弄清楚到底谁是发布招聘广告的直接技术负责人然后和他们聊一聊，这可能会让你少一番胡扯并且让你更有可能应聘成功。
|
||||
|
||||
第三点，现在的广告很少有完全真实的内容了。
|
||||
|
||||
我以前见过一个招聘具有高级专家所不具备的专门知识的初级系统管理员的广告，计划是列出公司的发展计划蓝图，然后找到应聘者。
|
||||
|
||||
在这种情况下，你应聘 Linux 管理员职位应该提供几个关键性信息，例如工作经验和相关证书。
|
||||
|
||||
诀窍在于，在你的简历中给出与他们的招聘信息相匹配的关键词，这样他们就基本找不到你存在的问题。
|
||||
|
||||
这并不一定会让你成功找到一份工作，但它可以让你获得一次面试机会，这也算是一个巨大的进步。
|
||||
|
||||
通过理解和应用以上三点，或许可以让那些寻求 Linux 管理员工作的人能够比那些在地狱中只有一线希望的人有一个好的开始。
|
||||
|
||||
即使这些建议不能让你马上得到面试机会，你也可以利用这些经验和意识去参加贸易展或公司主办的技术会议等活动。
|
||||
|
||||
我强烈建议你们也经常参加这种活动，尤其是当它们时间比较接近的时候，可以给你一个扩展人脉的机会。
|
||||
|
||||
请记住，如今的“求职网日”已经失去了原来的意义了，现在只是可以用来获取“哪些公司实际上在招聘、哪些公司只是为了给股东带来增长的表象而在工作方面撒谎”的小道消息。
