Linux User Groups in West Midlands

As I said before, I'm a Linux fan. In Poland I've been involved in a local Linux User Group activities. In Spain I was a member of other LUG. Now it's time for English LUGs! My first meeting was at South Birmingham Linux User Group in May this year, where I got to know several SBLUG members as Zeth Green for example. Because of my weak English I can't be a member on equal terms, but I'm lurking the mailing lists of some LUGs. Lately I went to the meeting of the Wolverhampton LUG. It was a very interesting talk about IPMI made by Adam Sweet with a live presentation of this platform on Linux. I'm planning to go to a meeting of Coventry LUG and Warwick LUG as well. I'm curious about how the UK's LUGs are doing. Besides I like to get to know interesting people involved in Linux OS.

Looking for a Linux job

Well, I'm a Linux fan and for about seven years I've been using this Operation System at home and professionally as well. The problem I have in UK is that I can't find any job in IT with Linux involved. I sent a lot of CVs to various employment agencies and... nothing. I uploaded my CV to various job sites, the same result. I'm starting to feel redundant. Although those agencies were looking for the Linux System Administrators, in spite of being experienced in this matter, I was skipped. I don't know, it could be because of my poor English, but I think in this job you don't need a perfect language skills. The most important is your knowledge, am I wrong? All right, at present I work as unskilled labourer and I'm improving my English skills. The strange thing is that I couldn't find a job as SysAdmin nor a simple Computer Technician. In Spain was easier find something in IT with poor Spanish. UK has not dealt kindly with me ;-)
