New Job?
So you know how you get all those career builder match emails suggesting jobs for you to apply to based off key words? Well I look at those and I found a job that says “System administrator (Gaming)”. How perfect is that.
The job add pretty much is what I do now, being a small time system admin of gaming servers and a small farm. Hosting several high traffic websites off the server farm, email systems and DNS. I’ve already implemented a CIFS file system cluster to link all the server boxes together with soft mounted file shares onto the local linux file systems for various file storage and backup storage. Plus with my experience and best practices while working as a Server tech at the Microsoft datacenter and my knowledge of the latest server hardware I could really be an asset to this company if they decide to hire me.
I know the pains and struggles of trying to run game server boxes and doing tech support to support those boxes all the time. Plus I’d be an awesome liaison with a 3rd party data center. When I mentioned I work at Microsoft as a server tech my data center makes my stuff highest priority and gets it done immediately for a fellow DC server tech. I know what being a DC server tech is like first hand (I’ve done it for 8 months now) and know how to talk tech talk to DC people to get stuff done fast and right (either for CLI linux systems or windows).
That and I’m always willing to pull extra hours and work late to get stuff done, skip lunch to work on things. For the better of the clients and company. That and I know how to do stuff on a tight budget and get the best bang for the buck, either buying a sever from a vendor or building 1 off newegg. The scripting I’ve done could also help out the company and clients, plus I have experience with firedameon for windows based game servers.
