[AusNOG] Off Topic - Brisbane recruitment recommendations

[Jason Mikronis]

That's part of the point Chad - to have skills which cross different areas because there is usually a business need to speak to someone who "understands things from different angles".

I, and I suspect most longer term IT&T/ICT people, end up learning a bunch of different scripting languages, end up running a bunch of different systems, end up interoperating with different networks - eventually have to build and program those too - and if they still are in the industry, research and test (self-R&D) new concepts, services and features - like Cloud & IOT.

Being adaptable is key in this industry, and if you are able to continually learn new things with an open mind, then it is only time before you end up with a shopping list of major skills like described.

It is an interesting time that I've spoken about at Commsday events,

talking about the void of skills in certain areas:



- Cloud specialisation and experience (AWS, Azure, Google Compute)

- DevOps skills - Ansible, Puppet, Chef - with deployment experience

- Network (Cisco/Juniper/etc) + Linux + NetDevOps experience

- Anyone with actual experience on SDN

- IoT infrastructure experience - even using the AWS/Azure tools

- Languages like Golang
But these are all different skills.
Your not going to find an individual with skills in every single platform and every single operating system as they are all slightly different.
Even the newer Cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Compute vary slightly with what they can do and how they opperate.
You are better off building teams and having people with specific skill sets working on particular projects.
Regards Chad.
