It takes me years to find such people and when I do, I try very hard to
keep them! I have 3 key people that fit the "soft" attribute criteria
Randal mentioned, but with a premium skill set in their specific
function. Good luck with your task Leigh!

I am looking for just such a person now. Good Juniper, some Cisco and Sysadmin

I expect it will be immensely difficult to find somebody. What makes it even
more frustrating is that just such a person was not all that long ago made
redundant!
So if anybody is looking for something to do around London...

This is a huge point. We've had a LOT of trouble finding good network
engineers who have all of the previously mentioned "soft" attributes -
attitude, team player, can write, can speak, can run a small project -
and
are more than just Cisco pimps. I cannot explain how frustrating it is
to
meet a newly minted CCNP who has zero Linux experience, can't script
anything, can't setup a syslog server, doesn't understand AD much less
LDAP, etc. Imagine, an employee who can help themselves 90% of the time
...
Finding the diamond that has strong niche skill, networking, with a
broad&
just-deep-enough sysadmin background has been very, very hard. I cannot
emphasize enough the importance of cross-training. Immensely valuable.
