• Experience with Windows PE and Endpoint Manager is a Must
• Neat and clean (well-crafted, indicates attention to detail).
• Brief (two pages is ideal I will accept 3 pages for an excellent candidate). This indicates focus and an understand of what is important. A long resume with dozens of bullet points per job, indicates a candidate who is throwing everything at the wall hoping something will stick.
• The resume should tell me most of what I need to know with a quick scan, with clear headings.
• Experience with Windows system internals and Windows PE
• Some understanding of SQL
• Excellent grasp of .NET / C# / design patterns
• Some front end framework experience is a bonus
• Good understanding of SDLC
• Understanding of scale
• An ability to answer why questions
• There are some Easter eggs (unintentionally hidden) in the job description that have demonstrated a good track record of uncovering AI-generated resumes. Too many candidates take the job description and feed it into AI to customize the resume. We can spot these immediately. While this doesn't necessarily disqualify the candidate, it makes us suspicious.

• Data cleaning: Fix and shape data using Power Query.
• Dashboards: Make clear charts, graphs, and reports.
• Sharing: Publish reports for team use. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• OS setup: Install Windows or other operating systems cleanly.
• Custom software: Add needed apps and security tools to the setup.
• Sysprep: Prepare the system image for general use.
• Deployment: Use tools like MDT or SCCM to push images to PCs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Device enrollment: Register new phones and computers safely.
• Policy setup: Set rules for passwords and screen locks.
• App management: Push and update software remotely.
• Compliance checks: Ensure devices meet safety standards. [1, 2, 3, 4]
