What jobs should I be applying for?

[hargi]

Looking for a bit of guidance on this. Just started looking at job sites and recruiter pages and I am unsure really where to pitch myself.

So I have been running my own company for the past 5 years and working in IT for 11 years in some form. Doing IT support , web development and network/systems admin in education.
I also have a foundation degree in ICT from 10+ years ago and have done some open uni courses.

In the school part of my job I am there main/only IT support so I do everything from replacing toner to network migrations also as part of this I source and help procure equipment for them.

The other half I do web development, the problem "I" see here is I have used a lot of languages but "I" don't think I'm an expert in them. But I don't know if this is just my expectations.

So for clients who want just normal websites I use WordPress and customise a theme for them. I used to be good with the LAMP stack and have built a few projects in old school PHP ( before the frameworks ) , I have used C#.net once or twice. Currently I'm using Ruby on Rails and can make all the normal sites like bogs and to do apps etc. I have built an Asset tracking app for one of my schools and a competition booking site for another group.

Curious to know from people working in the relevant sections what you think I should be applying for?

Thanks

Do you want to try something new or stick with the skills you have to do a job?

You could maybe have a look at what languages they're looking for in jobs in your area and focus on becoming an expert in one.

Ideally I would like to be a developer/programmer as that is what interests me and I know that I'd be good at it if I was doing it full-time in a proper team. Just at the moment I'm doing bits here and there in different languages. Do you think I'm OK looking at Junior Dev roles?

I wouldn't mind also doing the networking / system admin stuff at a larger place.

focus on what you want to do and apply, try to get some feedback - improve on what you need to improve on then apply again. If you've got some programming experience then it would be worth at least taking a shot at a junior role if that is what you want.
