Well... You are in a tough spot with no certs and limited recent IT
experience. If you can wrangle an RHCE, you will have a better time looking
for Linux work. RHCE is the most recognized Red Hat certification and Red
Hat and its brother CentOS continue to be popular Linux platforms in area
corporations. Also, find places where you can volunteer your IT skills in
return for recommendations/references or do contract work. Volunteering and
contract work will allow you to expand your contact network. Some companies
pay employees for successful referrals. Also, terminating an employee can be
very costly, so hiring managers sometimes favor less skilled "known
quantities" over unknowns that look better on paper.

If anyone knows of any entry level it oppurtunities in the area, it would be much appreciated. I have 0 certifications but I can more than prove myself. I've been stuck in retail for a few years now and id like to escape it. If anyone knows of any positions, please let me know. :-)
Thanks in advance!
