The sample is a sysadmin managing a hybrid Windows and Linux estate with VMware and Azure AD. Replace it with your own environment.

Turning maintenance into achievements

Sysadmin work is invisible when it goes well, so make the results explicit: uptime percentage, patch compliance, backup success rate, a migration completed without downtime, hours saved through PowerShell or Bash automation. Name the platforms precisely and give certifications (Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, CompTIA) their own section. If your work has moved toward cloud and automation pipelines, the DevOps Engineer Resume and Cloud Engineer Resume show that emphasis. Networking-heavy roles are covered by the Network Engineer Resume, and support-heavy ones by the IT Support Specialist Resume.

Format and length

One page for under eight years, two after that. Keep it single-column; the ATS resume templates are the base this layout follows. For roles that combine administration with security operations, the Cybersecurity Analyst Resume is a useful comparison.
