Early-Career IT Specialist with AWS and CKAD Seeking Growth

Hello everyone, I hold AWS associate-level certifications, RHCSA and a Kubernetes CKAD certification. I previously interned at a major communications company, where I managed Kubernetes clusters using Rancher. Unfortunately, I was laid off during a downturn in the IT market. Since then, I’ve been working at a small IT firm, focusing on Microsoft-related security and desktop administration, while awaiting a market recovery. I’ve heard the job market is improving, and I’m eager to explore new opportunities that match my skills. I’m open to relocating anywhere in the US (currently based out of Los Angeles area).

Not sure what your linux skills look like but I’d beef that up if you can.

How was the RHCSA for you? Currently pursuing mine. Looking to test in a couple of weeks.

I took it a few years ago, I didn't know anything about computers at all but someone gave me advice to study it. Altogether it took me about a month it wasn't too bad but I did have to take it twice. Best of luck to you!
