I just got hired at Robert Half.

Got the job by the way! Lol

upgrading pizza's ?

congrats


I still think there are hands in too many skillets to be knowledgeable and proficient in each of the disciplines.  I touch alot of those skills also, but not frequently as I would need to consider myself thoroughly experienced in each discipline

One of my favorite sayings and it was said here earlier is, "Jack of all trades, master of none." I think it would be more realistic and efficient to split that job into 2 or 3 possisions.

And thanks! And no, just store servers and doing roll out support. Lol

I like to consider myself a master of some, but I think you're right. It does stretch somebody, but I don't think this one is too far out there.

I came across a listing the other day looking for a senior network administrator in my town. They were looking for somebody with experience with LAN/WAN design and administration, windows server administration, VMware administration, Amazon EC2 experience, and red hat administration. And they'd like that person to have supervisory/management experience. That last one is what threw it over the top for me: A good manager probably doesn't/shouldn't have deep technical skills in all those areas.

But small to midsize companies don't have the option of having separate people for every technology, but to be competitive they do need to excel at most of them.

That said, I expect companies are going to catch on that they need much larger IT departments with a mix of skills in order to remain competitive. One of the things I keep seeing is companies with a single person who is the SME on a particular technology, and they don't have an understudy.  Companies seem to be focusing on hiring experts without worrying about who comes next.

Not impossible, actually I have came across and have worked with them.  Also several individuals on my team that can fit that mostly fit that job description.  They basically all started from system admin roles and transitioned into network admin/engineer with about 10 years of experience.

Also @ristau, interesting story btw. I've been a part of several mass migrations similar to that for different car communities.

I found this forum vis TapaTalk. I think mobile friendly forum hosting go a long way to saving forums from social media. @That1guy, I don't go on reddit when I want to learn something. Too easily distracted by other nonsense and circle jerking.

I could fit all that except the load balancing part.. As AnthonyC mentions.. Started as unix sysadmin '99 and transitioned over to networking when Sun Microsystems went down the drain..

Google-ing "CoSoWAN" either delivers surnames or that job description. Is it on there simply to suss out the liars?

"You got CoSoWAN experience?"
"Yeah, five years."
"Get outta here, you LIAR! Ain't no such thing as a CoSoWAN!"

Is it a layer 2 WAN, and they are doing CoS marking over the WAN?

If it is, then it's another case of a recruiter not knowing what he's typing into the job req. - at best. If it's what the guys that worked there typed in, then they're probably dealing with a lot more problems than just that...

In all seriousness it looks like the o is a line/section break. There is also BGPoLAN, and MP-BGPoTCP/IP. It should read

Routing protocols – EIGRP, OSPF, BGP
LAN Switching – VLAN, VTP, STP, EtherChannel, CoS
WAN – MPLS, MPLS/VPN,MP-BGP
TCP/IP protocol suite, Quality of Service

Wait, so there's no BGPoTCP/IP, BGP over TCP/IP? :P
