I took whatever computer related jobs I could. At the same time I passed the Microsoft mcp tests and eventually had my MCSE. I was able to land a Network Systems Admin job.

I started in college where he studied. Visited several competitions, including the Republican. Studying the Windows / Linux / Unix systems at home I had some success and was invited to work in companies providing ADSL for home users, and then I was invited to administer a Windows / Unix server in my country's capital Minsk. There I received a lot of experience, as well as in the field of Broadcast. Now I work in a company that develops software, there was a lot of experience.
Unfortunately in our country is very mlozhno obtain a certificate from the MS or CISCO as No certification.
And now I'm looking for work in Europe or America.

Sorry, my english is very bad :(

The best start is getting into the field, helpdesk is where we, all the Windows SYSADMINS started at my company. The certifications help but there's no substitute for experience
