<div dir="ltr">Most people are having trouble at the moment.<div><br></div><div>It is an interesting time that I've spoken about at Commsday events, talking about the void of skills in certain areas:</div><div><br></div><div>- Cloud specialisation and experience (AWS, Azure, Google Compute)</div><div>- DevOps skills - Ansible, Puppet, Chef - with deployment experience</div><div>- Network (Cisco/Juniper/etc) + Linux + NetDevOps experience</div><div>- Anyone with actual experience on SDN</div><div>- IoT infrastructure experience - even using the AWS/Azure tools</div><div>- Languages like Golang</div><div><br></div><div>It isn't that the people don't exist, they are just extremely rare right now with most Network Engineers not having started, or only just starting their DevOps journey.</div><div><br></div><div>Employers are aware of the need... but there is no pool of available talent for the number of jobs out there. I've been doing some consulting for a couple of tech recruitment firms advising them how to talk to their customers about the need to take someone with 'certain' skills and grow them in the right direction as opposed to pre-built people with experience.</div><div><br></div><div>Right now I've seen jobs posted, and literally zero applications for 100k jobs. I think we're in a new era where the certification market hasn't entered yet, so there is no body of even offshore resource pool with the right skills.</div><div><br></div><div>Those who re/up skill now will be the most valuable in the market... especially good network engineers who learn Linux and how to code... that is gold.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br>...Skeeve</div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div><b style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Skeeve Stevens - Founder & The Architect</b><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px"> - eintellego Networks Pty Ltd</span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Email: </span><a href="mailto:skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com</a><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px"> ; Web: </span><a href="http://eintellegonetworks.com/" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">eintellegonetworks.com</a></div><div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px;margin:0px">Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; S<a>kype: skeeve ; </a>LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/skeeve" target="_blank">/in/skeeve</a> ; Expert360: <a href="https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9" target="_blank">Profile</a> ; Keybase: <a href="https://keybase.io/skeeve" target="_blank">https://keybase.io/skeeve</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
