Might be best to try and back up the experience with a few certs then. MCSA would be good, you could go for that and use the Network+ as elective.


Me: You need to buy a couple of servers.
Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have?
Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now.
Customer: WTF! I thought I did!

If you have experience administering servers, then you have enough experience to get a junior systems admin / server admin job. You certainly have enough experience to be a desktop admin, which is a step up from helpdesk!!!

maybe its my age that puts people off, i went for a helpdesk role interview the other week with a chance to progress to the position above which was field engineer, some of the guys on the helpdesk were late twenties early 30s, perhaps they just didnt want a 20 year old at a higher position than some of the older people? as improfessional as it sounds...........people can run their businesses however they want i suppose

True. The good thing is this: you won't be getting younger! So your situation will improve over time... which, fortunately, you have plenty of.
