I am currently looking for any technical or interesting work in the northern
Virginia area, especially Fairfax county.

I would love a job where I could use FreeBSD.  I have been in charge of a
24/7 FreeBSD operation since '97 with my own company (sorta like a large
hobby).  I also have a good amount of networking experience.  I recently
passed the CCNA exam and I am working on CCNP.

My resume is attached.  Thanks for your time and attention.

Hello,                                                         

I am forwarding my resume for consideration for any Unix System
Administration positions that are or may become open for firms in the                                                         
Northern Virginia area.                                                                                                      

I am currently Senior Unix System Administrator at a startup firm.  We
are using mostly FreeBSD with some Solaris, and I have been doing server
and desktop sysadmin, as well as lan design/implementation, intrusion
detection, firewall administration, and 24x7 support.  In addition to
this, the company is making a FreeBSD-based digital certificate
management appliance, and I have been involved in QA testing and
validation, as well as providing architectural criticism and feedback
from a security and operational point of view.

I am a member of Novalug and SAGE, and a non-attending member of
Fug-washdc.  I consider myself a Sage level IV.  Resume attached in HTML
format.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, folks,

What sort of market is there for decent FreeBSD sysadmins these days?
I'm just considering my options, not actively looking at this point.

Well, here in Patras Greece, things are more or less like this:

In the Univerity, you can find `jobs' that are mostly related to Solaris,
HP/UX and AIX, as most departments hardly ever have a taste for Linux or
one of the BSDs'.  But jobs in educational departments are not well paying,
and proffesional consulting is still a kraft rarely used.

The web hosting companies are using mostly Linux, although some do consider
switching over to BSD; FreeBSD being the BSD of choise, in those cases.  A few
others have based their content serving infrastructure on Windows (usually the
NT, or 2000 breed of them, running IIS/MS-SQL), some of these switching to
Linux with Apache/MySQL soon after.

The workstations in most IT shops are Windows -- mostly Windows 98, with 95
still alive in some places, or (although much less often) Windows NT (the
workstation edition).

Greece is, unfortunately, still a place where Windows dominates the
workstation market.

On the other hand, I know of a lot of companies that are using some free Unix
on their servers, even some telecomm companies that extensively use Linux or
Solaris for their testing and development boxes.  FreeBSD is still a niche
market here, but it's ever growing.

Michael,

Here in the SF Bay area, the market is pretty terrible.  I am
looking for a job, and I have several friends in system=20
adminstration and network administration who have been looking
for quite a while without finding anything.  There are very few
places still hiring compared to last year or the year before.=20
Contract work is basically nonexistent, as far as I can tell.

But, if any of you reading this are hiring, well, read on!

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Experienced FreeBSD systems administrator seeks full or part-time
employment in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA, US.

I am available for permanent or contract work of any duration.  I am
currently a W-2 contract employee, so you will not have to deal with any
taxes, provide any benefits, or deal with massive amounts of government
paperwork, unless you want to.

Depending upon the nature of the work, I am open to telecommuting
and/or will travel to your workplace in the Bay Area.  San Francisco
and East Bay locations are preferred, as I live in Berkeley.

I am skilled in procurement, construction, configuration and
management of high-density rackmount Internet platforms, and have
experience working with broadband ISPs, dot-coms, financial
companies, and more.  I have built the entire technology
infrastructure for a small financial service provider, and have
worked as part of a team to keep a rapidly expanding production
network under control.  I enjoy working solo, as part of a group,
or as leader of a small team.

My r=E9sum=E9 is available in both HTML and ASCII from my website:
