Listing side projects in a jr. sysadmin resume
- by Beaming Mel-Bin
I have many "side-projects" that were not part of my past jobs. Just for example:
Configuring web site environment for professors and friends
Configuring a Linux box that does the routing, firewall (iptables), backup and file sharing (samba) for my apartment
Developing small websites for things as simple as party invites to polling friends.
Running my own SMTP server with domain keys, SPF and DNSBL
Etc., etc.
What would be the appropriate section to mention this? Should I even mention it? Perhaps it's best to just bring it up during the interview.
I would especially appreciate the opinion of hiring managers.
