This VMware Newbie Career Guide is Free and is intended to help anyone starting out.

These questions and answers are a collection of years of experience in service delivery.

Remember, every business and hosting company needs people who are smart enough to handle the nuts and bolts of setting up and supporting “The Cloud”.

This means an opportunity for people coming in on the ground level. You can grow the business and learn a lot.

Sure they need experts for the heavy lifting but a lot of jobs in The Cloud are perfect for newbies.

I also recommend reading my VMware Training Beginners Guide. if you don’t already have vSphere skills.
