Long story short, I have a friend who has a degree from a community college in Network Administration. He wants to get into the field, but is a bit socially awkward and hasn't really put himself out there. I'm trying to school him on some of the things he can do to get into the field and get a job. Mostly, how to get noticed by a potential employer.
My expertise is system administration and programming. If he were in my field, I'd tell him to make some code and put it into a portfolio... I'm not sure how you do that with Network Administration. What do you put in a portfolio if you're a net admin? What do you put in a resume to make it stand out (in a good way)... or at least fit in?
Also, other random advice? Should he troll linkedin? Build stackexchange reputation? Network in real life? Get word of mouth referrals? Etc...
