The most important part of the job is being able to fix the user. That is a personality trait. Just about anyone can learn the technical skills, given enough time and training, but there's no easy way to teach someone to be a people person. Bye for now, Stuart. <p><p><p>Bernd sez... The most important experience you can gain as a sys admin is how to communicate with people; the end-users with difficulties and requirements. Lunch breaks are a good opportunity for informal chats to build relationships. Making the users comfortable in dealing with you is a skill that needs to be developed.
