What employers look for in a Network / System Administration CV / resume

Network and system administration CVs need to show hands-on configuration skill. Recruiters in India look for routing and switching (OSPF, VLANs, subnetting), firewall basics, Windows Server with Active Directory, DNS and DHCP, Linux administration and virtualisation with VMware or Hyper-V. CCNA-level knowledge is often the first filter. Freshers should mention lab topologies built in Packet Tracer or GNS3, structured cabling or rack work done during training, and any experience with ticketing, patching and backups in an office or campus network.
