In regards to the job mentioned earlier in this “log” … I had to provide a more “traditional” resume for the Human Resources Department … I provided it again via web page with a printable version available … Here is an example https://www.davidpierron.com/resume_template.php. Of course I altered font sizes, colors and added a background texture … Had my father look over it and I sent off the link to my “buddy” … He then reiterated to me that this was a “Senior” position, so maybe there was something said about my experience or whatever, but I don’t know … I don’t know if it has to do with the fact that I don’t have any “official” certifications, but I can certainly pay for them if I ever had to … Either that, or if they’re a requirement of employment, an employer can do all that tuition reimbursement stuff and send off employees for classes etc … I did that back in the day for various aspects of my job … Personally, I think it’s a waste of time … I think hands on is the only way to go … The concepts I learned way back in 1985 still apply in my opinion, and the training, or mindset I have since growing up through mainframes makes me a much better System Administrator than those that never saw a console or a CRT … I have always likened my mainframe days to be like a HUGE PC … I stood inside the computer … CPU box over by the window, Controller in the back corner with the disk array down the back of the room, and the other up the side … All cables run underneath the floor and cooling blown throughout the ceiling and the floor … Started with reel tape drives (autoloaders from StorageTek) to IBM 3380 self loading cartridge drives … and finally near the end of those days, a huge laser printer … But assessing the impact of changes and planning for ways to cover all the bases, that’s the concepts that I think better aid me in Systems Administration … PCs were certainly such a relief when I started grasping the power that they had to contribute … Now office buildings are run off of PC Server rooms, and the mainframe is a rarity … Neat!
