If they rotate into the helpdesk, than it would be more of a 'you are not the right place for ME to work'. I am a System Admin, not a phone jockey. It is like asking a brain surgeon to fix broken arms... It just should not happen. I do really well where I am now managing large systems, for good money - and no helpdesk work. How would I help anyways, I am a *nix guy, most people calling helpdesks have issues with Windows. I don't do Windows.

Yeah, and you also seem to miss details like my statement in Message-Id:
<slrng800p9.6v1.ibuprofin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Certifications may get you past the silly guardians from HR who think
that such documents are an indication of skills. We had a problem with
a new-hire in Human Resources who added two windoze experience terms
and a MS certification requirement to two job requisitions we had
submitted. She thought she was helping us - till we pointed out that
we don't use windoze in the company. She didn't last long.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, just petty details. Pity I expect admins to notice them. Done!

From an admin perspective, I still don't work a helpdesk, I am an admin. An admin would not work a helpdesk.

JR.
