Okay, I'd like to again ask for help with finding an IT job. Please boost or share with anyone who might know of openings in the Seattle area or remote. I've been searching for 7 months with no luck, and am now unemployed with savings running out soon.
I'm an IT Systems Admin with 10 years of experience, a bachelor's degree in IT, and Comptia A+, Net+, Security+, and CySA+. I've worked with:
Windows Server 2008-2022
SQL and Windows SQL Server
C#
Printer/Scanners
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Networking and Sonicwall Firewalls
Troubleshooting and Helpdesk, both remotely and on site
And many more general IT fields.
After having another very bad week of job hunting, I could use any help possible to find a decent job in my fields. I've had to deal with 4 recruiter phone calls in a row just today alone that keep trying to throw no-benefit, nearly minimum wage helpdesk jobs at me that would hardly even cover my bills, much less live on. I'm at my wits end, and would greatly appreciate any referrals or such. Anything to get my foot in the door at this point.
One of the most fundamental yet little-known features of FreeBSD is its ability to be used in read-only mode very easily. By installing the system on a UFS file system, you just need to modify the fstab file, change "rw" to "ro," and reboot. On the next boot, the system will automatically create mount points in RAM for the main directories (/tmp, log, etc.), and it will run perfectly.
This was the main reason why, many years ago, I chose FreeBSD for almost all my embedded systems. Even today, on my Raspberry Pies, I keep the SD cards in read-only mode and use external storage in read-write mode. This ensures that, in case of an unexpected poweroff, the system will come back up, and there will be no wear on the memory card.
Hard drives are pretty much an enterprise product now, GitHub’s malware problem, and spreading services across different machines and VMs to keep downtime to a minimum.

Asking for job hunt assistance from any folk in the Seattle area for all you in the PST.
I'm a #sysadmin / tier 2.5 IT tech of ten-ish years looking to relocate to Seattle for work. I've got A+, Net+, Security+, and CySA+ for certs and a Bachelors in IT. I'm just throwing this out there for anyone, mutual or not, for open positions or referrals. On-site, hybrid, remote, all good to me.
I'm looking to go somewhere where I can learn enterprise tech and escape away from Indiana. Any boosts, tips, or LinkedIn contacts/job posts/etc appreciated greatly.
My husband is a systems administrator who just got told he has no choice but back to office full time. Any ideas on where to look for a remote position? #SysAdmin#RemoteWork#WorkFromHome
(I am not interested in "running your own email is impossible," "email is a lost cause," or other comments from folks who are not running their own email.)
What hosting provider do you use? Bare metal or VM? #ryoms#sysadmin
Holy crap, "Run Your Own Mail Server" broke $30k while I was buying maple butter.
Financial goals are rather silly. I can't control how much money people spend. But I think I'd really like to have one thousand backers, just to get the information on how mail works out there. #ryoms#sysadmin
