I'm Justin Smith, and I serve as vice-chair and secretary on the WPLUG 
Board of Directors. (WPLUG is the group that operates this mailing list, in 
case you somehow forgot!)

I'm a new Linux professional looking for work as a junior system 
administrator or support worker.

My college degree mostly focused on the fundamentals that sysadmins are 
expected to know: databases, programming, and yes, Linux. However, after 
graduation, I decided to seek employment as a technical writer instead 
because I saw a need for qualified communicators in the IT community. 
After four years of working in the field, the ongoing lack of opportunities 
led me to switch careers earlier this year so I could work as a Linux system 
administrator. 


During the summer, I enrolled in self-study courses that helped me earn a 
total of six Linux certifications. I currently offer Linux support and system 
administration services as part of my responsibilities on the WPLUG Board 
of Directors, and I manage several Linux servers that run a mix of 
openSUSE and CentOS. 

For more information on my background, I invite you to look over my 
resume:
