Hello all,
I’ll take this opportunity to introduce myself, I am a 23 year old recent IT Graduate with commercial IT experience living in Scotland, UK at the moment. I have been visiting Techrepublic on and off for 1-2 years, but I’ve been to shy to post 🙂
I’m in the process of trying to find an IT position but things look a little gloomy in the IT market. Something I’m seeing mentioned more and more is UNIX and Linux, usually with the words “UNIX and Linux desired/would be an advantage” etc.
I am very interested in the opinions of the more experienced professionals out there, would you consider UNIX/Linux skills a “must-have” or would someone like myself be better off concentrating my efforts in building up MS skills? Also do you think todays employer just wants as many bullet points on a CV as they can get (wanting a one-man, IT band).
Regards,
Amer
