Looking for Linux Admin Intern Roles – What Projects Should I Add to My Resume?

Posted by avxnash_@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 6 comments

Hi everyone,

I'm currently based in India and actively learning Linux, SQL, and Bash scripting with the goal of landing a Linux Administrator Intern or SysAdmin Intern role.

I’m now at the stage where I want to start building a resume, but I’m unsure what kinds of projects would make it stand out for these roles.

Could you please help me with the following:

What projects should I build and add to my resume to show my skills as a beginner Linux Admin?

Would setting up a home lab, running services like Apache/Nginx, using virtual machines, configuring cron jobs, etc., be good to showcase?

Any specific open-source contributions or personal projects that look impressive to Indian employers?

What’s the best way to apply for internships in India for these roles? (Portals, company websites, networking tips?)

How can I make my resume show that I have hands-on experience, even as a beginner?

How good are you at making or fetching coffee? Proficient in java by chance?

I wouldn't trust this person to grind my coffee, pack my mocha pot, or pour it in my cup!

If there’s one thing that I learned from the movie Ready Player One is that if you want to one day become CEO, you need to start as an entry level Java Engineer.

Automation. If you can't deploy Linux Desktops, Servers, or Containers automatically - then you're not a Admin.
