I've been using Slackware for over thirteen yrs. Is that qualification enough? Or do I gotta be systemd savvy? If so, I'm screwed. ;) |

> I've been using Slackware for over thirteen yrs. Is that qualification enough? Likewise (well, actually 21 now). But from the ads I've seen, no one wants you unless you have experience in their specific requirements. There's a Google+ thread where SJVN posted a link to the article. Donovan Colbert discusses the matter in detail in the comments. |

They (think they) know exactly what they need and want exactly that,... Unfortunately, for them, exactly what they need/want is the person they are replacing, who defined the system they use. They also usually want skill sets (programming, on top of systems stuff) and experience (5 yrs, 10 yrs, plus...) they aren't willing to pay for. |

@notbob: All you gotta do is know these words and use them each in every sentence in the interview: 1. Social Media 2. Glocal 3. Opensource [all one word - and not FOSS] 4. Community edition 5. UX [nevermind that UI-thingie, that's so last Tuesday] 6. Learning Platform 7. Network Security 8. Cloud Nobody really cares about FOSS or Linux. It's all about the hype and the money, no real knowledge is necessary. |

When I get home, I'll have to pull up some openings on Dice and post some examples. :) |

Note: above link definitely NSFW if your boss has no sense of humor (like the one I had sixteen years ago). |
