Adding Home Networking to Resume
I am in the IT field and am looking for a job in the field of System Administrator. I would like to add my home networking experience to my resume becasue I think that it is relevant but before I did I had a few questions: 1.) Would employeers even care that I have home network experience 2.) If they do care, where would it go (work experience, hobbies etc) 3.) How should I add it, here was some ideas I had: "Build and Configured Server/Workstation Environment running Window2003/Windows XP" "Set-up Configured Networking Compnents (DNS, DHCP) any help on this will be appreciated I believe that your activity of home networking is actually going int your experience area because, after all, you have worked in the field and built yourself a ... portofolio. correct? So yes, mention it because some of them care. It is practice in the field so you have done something, right? Section of post does not conform with Monster TOU
windsox, Yes, you can definitely mention your experience setting up a home network - it will add to your tech credentials. You can mention it in your Technology section or in an "Of note" section (the best place depends on your overall experience, but I wouldn't include it in your work experience section). Best wishes, Kim Isaacs The Resume Expert Thanks for the advice, I have a section called "Techncial Experience" but it is mostly just bullet points. Perhaps I can add a Technical hobbies section? Also, as a foot note I also am a created/maintain w website for a local school here, I know that has nothing to do with being a SysAdmin, but someone mentioned I should add that as well, perhaps in the "Technical Hobbies" section any thoughts?
