Have someone new to LINUX found a job after passing RHCE?
It will be a great motivation if:
Did someone new to LINUX found a job after passing RHCE? |
I say it would depend on the employer.
I know that most employers do not specify that a person must have RHCE for Linux Administration positions. Most employers specify an experience criteria like 3 - 5 years in Linux Administration or something. But if you have no where to start from (no Linux experience), a RHCE will help you depending if the employer will accept it. It will depend on how well you do during the interview. |
i still rate attitude, character and experience above certification. i feel rhce comes in as a bonus and not the main criteria for employment. it is possible to get rhce simply by studying hard.
|
Personally I think it's quite unlikely a newcomer to Linux will pass RHCE.
Sure, you can study real hard, but you still lack the practical experience. |

i agree with you. practical experience is all that counts. |
In my experience, I have not seen any employer asking for RHCE from fresher Linux administrators. At the same time, it is an add-on for the experienced ones.
|
So for you, RHCE is a wasting of time for someone who ones to find a job as Linux Admin.
I disagree with all of you because for a person to get experience, he/she needs to work as Linux Admin. With RHCE, you will show the company that you have Linux knowledge and maybe a new RHCE knows more about a Linux than a regular Linux Admin. |

So how do you get the experience by telling the company that you are willing to learn LINUX or that you have a LINUX Certification (RHCE) willing to get experience.
The company will tell you: " Yes, we will hire you to get the experience then get the certification" lol You need to have something like RHCE to open doors. No company will hire a new Linux Admin without any Linux cert. |

They hired me as a Jr. Sys Admin (All I had was my Associates and my Linux+)... Then I got promoted to Sys Admin...then Sr. Sys Admin...then I got my RHCE... It's funny how things turn out... -C |
I guess must Linux Admin resolved their problems in GOOGLE.COM or asking questions in forum like this one. So what is the big deal.........

Personally, I wouldn't hire someone with an RHCE with no other credentials, I think it shows a bad methodology that is likely to be reflected in their work. |
