What All Network Administrators Know in Bloomington, MN

This is the first computer book that prepares its readers what to expect
once they have gotten a job, what kind of software they should know, and
how to deal with everyday real world situations that are never
addressed. Douglas Chick is the author and creator of the popular,
computer professional Website, The Network Administrator, and has turned
all of the questions that have been asked by beginners and professionals
into
What All Network Administrators Know
. Like the Website, Doug is
informative, direct, and uses humor to get the point across. If you are
considering a career as a network administrator, or already are
one--this book is for you.
This book will teach you:
What Software You Are Expected to Know
What a Network Administrator Does
The Truth About Certifications
How to Identify The Gear in a Server Room
This book is in response to the daily e-mails I receive from my website
TheNetworkAdministrator, that ask the question; "What do I need to know
to become a network administrator?" Some of you reading this book might
find that you have all the qualifications needed, while others may
become easily discouraged. Don't be discouraged. Nothing long lasting or
worth having such as a professional career can happen overnight. As an
experienced network administrator and a computer professional I can help
you avoid the pitfalls that I see many new computer people encounter and
help you realize your objective by making you more employable, by
knowing what you can expect as a network administrator and the types of
programs you will be expected to know. The problem with most books on
computers and networking is they are thick with trivial data that either
doesn't help you get a job or doesn't tell you what to do once you have
one.
is a short book that is to the
point from a network manager's perspective. All the books that you've
read about computers and networking before this one addressed
configurations, program usage and enough acronyms to fill a popular
vegetable soup can. This book addresses what you should know before you
interview and what you should expect once you have the job.
