Where do I fit in the IT world? Gov't to Civilian
Most people know that position titles can be misleading, and it's especially true within the government. Moved closer to family and I'm back on the job market, but I've been having a hard time figuring out what sort of jobs/titles I should actually be applying for. I don't currently have certs, however I'm set to start school soon for a BS in IT.
In my last position my title was technically IT Specialist, but I can't say that fully defined my day-to-day activities. Half of the time, I was responsible for local IT activities in coordination with our local ITO. The other half, I was working on radars/comms and managing technicians. My resume leans heavily towards electronic maintenance/management, but I've been looking for a career change closer to IT. I know the IT market isn't the best right now, which is why I'm also doubling down with school.
Some of the IT-focused tasks included:
Adding/Removing employees from AD.
Performing security scans via Tenable.SC and resulting remediation activities.
Ensuring patch updates applied (Pushed globally via BigFix, so not much other than restarts/verifying updates).
Hardware replacements. (Corrective and annual refresh)
Inventory.
On-site User Support.
RHEL7->RHEL8 upgrades
Software installations, including device configurations
Managing static IPs and hostfiles.
Virtual server management via vSphere.
Managing local VOIP network.
License management.
Shared Drive management.
Hopefully this gives at least an OK idea, and you can give some tips on what positions/education to focus on from here. Thanks for the help :)
