[GRLUG] Linux System Administrator Opportunity

[Bob Kline]

The list of requirements looks reasonable
for an SA with 5 to 7 years experience.

What is the list of desired skills meant to
do?  Does anyone at your company now
begin to have proficiency at most of those
items?  What fraction of those items would
you reasonably expect any one  person to
have solid experience with?

I was lucky enough to never need to find
a job, but when I did look at postings like
this I usually thought "why not add must
be able to walk on water too?"  I would
hope a person that did begin to meet the
hoped for qualifications was at least offered
a big bag of money, because they could
surely get it somewhere. Otherwise, hope
your ad doesn't scare away reasonably
qualified people.  Anyone knowing of a
person that good would probably hire them
themselves.
