[GLLUG] Linux Certification Training

[Robert Youngs, Jr.]

I would say anyone interested working for LW should meet the following 
criteria:

1. Familiarity with CentOS or other RH-based Linux distros (daily user 
of Fedora, etc)
2. Strong familiarity with command line interface (some GUI work is 
done, but it's 85% command line)
3. Possess ability to learn, adapt, and overcome (you'll have help, but 
thinking critically on your own is a big plus)
4. Strong verbal communication skill and a good vocabulary (dealing with 
customers on the phone takes patience and it helps if you know how to 
work a phone call).
5. Commitment to good time management (techs are expected to handle a 
larger workload as they gain experience
6. Willingness to work and thrive in a relaxed atmosphere

If anyone has specific questions, feel free to ask me directly, however, 
I can only divulge so much since all employees are required to sign an NDA.
