hey i've been out of a job for 3 months and in that time ive had essentially nothing in the way of job opportunities, so I'm once again asking: I'm looking for an SRE/DevOps/Infrastructure Eng/Systems Eng/NetEng position, my only requirements are that it's fully remote and not ethically awful. my resume is at https://pub.wxcafe.net/resume.pdf

thanks

is that what "strong networking knowledge" means? this looks like basic networking knowledge to me, strong is like, setting up an MPLS infrastructure or building a whole EVPN setup on multiple datacenters, idk

@wxcafe

like not saying people are dumb just wondering because it's hard for me to gauge my own level of knowledge in things

same with companies specifying git basics in the requirements like. do most people applying to a devops job not know that?

@wxcafe

idk what to think about those things. does that mean by having used terraform tangentially at my last job I should put it in my resume and apply to jobs that have it in the description? I generally won't do that if I don't understand the thing through and through. idk

it's weird bc places i've interviewed at seem to expect you to "know python" as in capable to write an app that pulls from an API, does maths to the results, handles error states gracefully, displays the computed results properly converting units, etc, in two hours (something I've been asked to do as a coding test before), but then again I see lots of places that say "know how to use git and how to do a traceroute", and idk what things mean anymore
