When writing a Linux Administrator CV, some specific keywords must be included in the resume. Bear in mind that employers do not read every resume word by word. Picture this scenario. There are 100 applicants for this position. Each resume is about 2-3 pages. Do you think the employer will read each resume from cover to cover? The answer is No. Most employers only spot for specific keywords. They will not read your resume verbatim. Look at the sample CV of a Linux Administrator below. Keywords such as Linux scripts, Linux environment, Linux systems, and Linux administration are used.
