You have experience of 3.1 from personal use? At 23? Your not really 23 are you? What did you use it for? And why?

I just finished a contract for IBM virtualising their OS/2 build infrastructure - there _could_ still be the odd Win 3.1 box sitting around somewhere.

Have you checked the guide on how to write a good CV on this site?

Make it a force of habit to always converse (even on forums) in nothing less than perfect english.

There are a lot of £12-17/h 1st line/helpdesk roles out there.

That's a good place to start

I am only 23 and very eager to learn new stuffs

Thats your problem right there. They do not want interims to learn they want interims to have learnt somewhere else.

I have created a websitre using dreamweaver at my current job. I have all them skills because i have trained CCNA and MCSE. All the skills i have exposure but can do basic administration

Regarding sql, i can only create databases, back them up and basica restore. Can go into great depth. I have configured 3com switches. Hp Pro curve core servers and some Cisco routers through hyper terminal

Cant go into great depth but as i mentioned at my current job i have gained many skills. I have even created a server from scratch made it a Domain controller thats in a user based of 1500. So i may not be top man in all skills mentioned but i wont strugle if i had to perform basica day to day tasks of the above.

You possibly need to have 2 or 3 CVs on differnet areas.
I would follow Ardescos advice as he is usually right. Look at what you want to specalise in and go from there.

Do network jobs care that you have dreamweaver (basically a point and click program) experiance ... no.

Without sounding harsh it sounds to me like you are confusing experiance with "heard of". You say exposure you need to give specifics in the CV.

I.e. I configure the 1500 user domain server myself etc.
I.e. I implemented a user wide security policy review etc

I can create, backup and restore SQL databases using the mysql command line thingy ... and I design warehouses. Its really not that much of a hot skill.

If I was you I would move jobs to somewhere that is willing to pay for your training. You say you are CCNA and MCSE trained...what qualifications? Have you just read an e-bay ebook on CCNA?

[Ardesco]

Agreed,

Remember if contracting prospective clients want to know what you have done before so that they can compare your previous experiance to the role they have available.

If they want to do a Vista rollout and have 2 CV's, one of a person who has performed 3 Vista rollouts and one with a person who wants to learn and has exposure to Vista who do you think they are going to hire?

You really need to just get rid of the chaff from your CV. I doubt anybody cares that you know a few German words, it's not going to enable you to work in environment where everybody speaks German (I know some minimal Gujrati and can pick up the gist of the odd conversation but I would not be able to work in an exclusivly Gujrati envirnoment).

Nobody is going to care if you have plugged an HP switch into a network (Hell who hasn't plugged in a switch). They are going to want to know if you can terminal into the switch and reconfigure it without having to check a manual however.

Also Support/Networks/System Admin is spreading yourself a bit thin. those are 3 separate areas you could specialise in, admittedly they are connected and while performing each role you will probably come into contact with others but people generally hire contractors to be experts in a particular field, not a jack of all trades who is able to do a bit of everything but is master of nothing.
