Why we read it this way (7)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree … Required' but immediately offers 'an equivalent combination of education and experience' as an alternative, so no hard degree gate is set.
The role has a notable security component (vulnerability/penetration testing, security policy, threat defense), which creates some ambiguity with 15-1212 Information Security Analysts; however, the overall scope — server/network administration, VDI, VoIP, mail server, help desk — is broader and primarily operational, so 15-1244 is the primary classification.
Experience requirement is stated as '3-5 years'; minimum (3) is used for the overall years minimum.
Scripting and automation tools are listed in the required qualifications section without naming a specific language or tool; 'scripting' is retained as the skill name to reflect the genuine gate.
CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, and Linux certifications are explicitly listed as 'Preferred' or 'a plus' in the qualifications section.
A valid Driver's License is required upon hire but is not a technical skill and is omitted from the skills list.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cisco routing and switching.
