Thanks for your comment. I have Shell, PowerShell, Ansible and Power Automate experience on my resume (weird spot where I was handling a few *nix machines but then they needed someone to help them with SharePoint and now I’m doing both with some Windows Scripting on the side).

A notable omission from my resume is Terraform. I had wanted to learn Terraform and Microsoft AD on the job (Terraform for the *nix side where I’m using Ansible and because I was told I was going to do Windows Admin work too, I was hoping to learn how Windows AD works in the enterprise, but as we know that didn’t work out). I suppose I could learn Terraform at home with a couple of example deployments but how do I put that in my resume?

I also do not see much in the way of security coming my way in this job. Sure I could probably ask them to give me some access to the network to have fun with ACLs and something else but not much more than that, I think. I’m wondering if hobby projects are even worth putting up as “skills”, because sure I can learn them but how do I communicate them to the interviewer through my resume?

Thanks, I’m very new to this field and am struggling on the trivial aspects too. I hope these pains will go away with time.

Cheers
