Gurus,
Thanks for reading this email. I am currently looking for a job in the Oracle-DBA arena. So far, here is what I have been doing:

-Data modeling
-Sizing and capacity planning
-installation and upgrade
-NT Batch
-Logical backups and recovery (exp/imp)
-Primary objects creation
-alert logs monitoring
-SQL and schema tuning (explain plan, dbms_utility.analyze_schema...)
-PL/SQL programming (stored procs., packages, functions, triggers...)
-Designed SOPs and SLAs
-Users & developers support
-Solaris, AIX and HP-UX as "advanced" (?) user creating CRON files, using
VI, TOP, PS, GREP... ***Note: I have no experience with the following:
-Unix batch scripting (any flavor)
-Physical backup
-Physical recovery (RMAN)

I am not certified but am working on it. I can't realistically apply for a DBA position or can I? Any advice?

Thanks for helping!
