I’m trying to get a job in IT that will (hopefully) pay more than a usual 9 to 5. I’m been daily driving Linux exclusively for about 2 1/2 years now and I’m trying to improve my skills to the point that I could be considered a so-called “power user.” My question is this: will this increase my hiring chances significantly or marginally?

    Even a simple “I know how to setup a network-wide ad blocker on docker by using my own image” can get you far, so yep.

      Thats oddly specific. I think “I have experience with Linux” would be better

        This is a IT-related question – of course being “oddly specific” is a great idea. Even if the job in question does not use anything docker related.

          The word “Linux” doesn’t even appear in that though

        On a resume you might format this like “Skilled in setting up networked Docker images”. Absolutely a valued skill and worth mentioning.
