Most of the things I value in an SA are talents: curiosity, analytic thinking, patience, and a healthy paranoia. Skills and Knowledge are very domain specific. A MS Windows admin will have different skills than a Linux admin which is different than a network admin, etc. There are some broad skills that might be trainable: troubleshooting, designing for scale, "Getting Things Done", security principles, business principles, and knowledge of various standards such as those around TCP, share libraries, etc. On Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 12:38 PM, Chris 'Ski' Kacoroski <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > As part of WA State's center for excellence in information technology, they > are creating a profile of the "ideal" system admin graduate from a 2 or 4 > year program.
