I have a 2nd round interview this week at a community college. This could be my first job as a sys admin since becoming red hat certified. Does anyone have any tips for getting past this interview? Any topics i should really be able to talk about?

They will likely quiz you on how you would handle a problem or situation so be prepared to have troubleshooting steps for it. For example the various ways a password can be reset, or user gets a sketchy email.

Also how you would build infrastructure for the business. Use the job listing to your advantage and tie your answers to what they’re aiming for so you match their needs.

Another thing, if you can make someone laugh (not at you) during the interview its a major plus.

Good luck! I'm guessing this is the technical interview?
Try to be as familiar with the JD as possible.

Hey all, I’m trying to gauge wether or not my salary is appropriate for my role. Obviously I’m a sys admin, but I’m making 50k with an expected bonus of 12k per year.

About 3 years of experience, the first two were technically a Helpdesk role but as the sole person on the team it was essentially sys admin work
