Is My Resume Good Enough for an Entry-Level Sysadmin Position?
Asked by

I'm trying to get my foot in the door as a junior systems administrator and would love some feedback on my resume. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Information Technology, where I covered a lot of ground including cybersecurity, network security, and systems administration. In terms of skills, I'm familiar with both Windows and Linux environments, scripting in PowerShell and Python, and I have experience with ticketing systems and incident management from a current position managing incidents in a service environment. I've also volunteered in a help desk role, diagnosing technical issues. Does this look good to land a junior sysadmin job?

Honestly, the experience section is where things might feel a bit light. While your education is solid, having practical on-the-job experience could make a big difference. However, don’t get discouraged—there are companies out there that appreciate fresh talent! You might want to look into entry-level IT support roles or internships to gather more hands-on experience.
