I know,
That's why I brought it up. Not all of us in IT have the degrees or certifications that help with the resume. Those who don't have them tend to have experience to show the skills.
But for those who are self taught, with little or no experience, writing the resume that will get them the interview is a very tricky process. By putting the situation out in here, maybe some members will give their input on what would help someone get an interview under these conditions.
Most here know that I'm pretty good with linux, yet it's all self taught, none of the different certifications available to proove on paper. 9 years of using it to learn it.. digging into the core of the OS specifically to learn about it. In that 9 years I have tried to stay away from Windows [ and been pretty successful at that
] to push myself into learning what I can use on linux to accomplish the same tasks. I never see any course detailes for using linux desktops that offer that knowledge, they offer wine / crossover office and MS office / outlook.
These 9 years have been with the intention of starting my own web hosting business all along, so it s in no way a waste of time and effort.
