Bill McKinley "The hardest thing about taking courses at OST became deciding which position to accept!" --Bill McKinley

Hello Everyone at OST (especially Kelly),

Just an update...Since I completed the Linux/Unix System Admin Certification courses, I have received 3 job offers to go to work as a Linux System Administrator. I have accepted one of the offers and I will be starting work next week.

It really felt good to know the answers that the Cheif Technical Officer asked me in my interview. At another interview, the Tech Manager told me he was just "going to skip to rest of the questions" and followed by saying "I'll have HR send you out an official offer letter by the end of the week." And they did...so the hardest thing about taking courses at OST became deciding which position to accept!

Thanks OST for very useful real world courses that are loaded with good applicable information. And thanks to my instructor, Kelly, for the insights, guidance and teaching. I will be taking additional courses from OST in the future...especially since I can immediately apply the info I learn!

Thanks again,
Bill McKinley from Texas
