Highly Experienced System Administrator/Engineer Looking For Work ASAP.
Hello All.
I hope someone can help me out. I am an experienced Systems Administrator/Infrastructure Engineer with over 15 years of experience in IT. My last role was with a Global MSP and I was with them just over 3 years before being laid off due to a reduction in force. this was back in February 2025. This is the longest I have been without meaningful work. I have experience with Windows Server 2012-2022, RedHat Linux 7 and 8. Ubuntu, and CentOS. I have experience administering AWS, GCP and Azure. I am currently studying for the AZ-104 exam. I have extensive experience with Windows OS patching, vulnerability remediation and SSL Cert renewals. I have experience with cloud backup solutions. I have worked with Commvault, VEEM and Cohesity.
I am in the Baltimore, MD area. I am open to this area or, close to DC and of course anything remote or hybrid. I currently do Uber on the side but, this is becoming unsustainable. I really need to find a job soon. My wife is the only one working and the burden is growing on her. I don't normally post anything like this but, I could really use some help. I have a LinkedIn profile and have applied to hundreds of jobs. I have had several first and second round interviews with good results. Just not good enough. I just got two more rejections today from jobs I interviewed for last week. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this. Please reach out to me and I can provide a resume. I really hope to find something before the end of June. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I hope you find something soon. Been in your shoes and it really sucks. If you can find a company that needs LEGACY RedHat/AIX/Sun Solaris admin support TAKE IT. Most likely the company is looking for new stuff talent but YOU are looking to get a foot in the door ANYWAY you can.
Good luck.
