| Women in tech, why did you choose IT? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 07:49 PM PDT I'm just curious, and hoping to read some inspirational stories. I didn't have any passion for it when I decided to major in IT, I got into it because a lot of things were going wrong at that point in my life. I didn't know much about it and it didn't even cross my mind that it was a male dominated field. However, I stuck with it and have come to realized that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. [link] [comments]  |

| Need some tips on setting my IT career goals, and how to put thought into action? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:57 AM PDT As the title says, I have an issue with "thinking" about studying and not actually studying. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:02 AM PDT Has anyone every heard of the NOCTI exam and certification? My school is having me take it before i graduate. Is it hard? Does it matter to employers? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:14 AM PDT I see this popping up everywhere, how do I get into this "big data" field is it the same as data analytics or in data scienc, what is it? What are the requirements, how do i get into it....I have an Oracle OCA in 11g and a little knowledge of python programming. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for Experienced MIS Major Posted: 02 Apr 2018 09:38 AM PDT Good afternoon, I am currently working on an assignment where I need to do an informational interview of someone who majored in MIS in college and is currently working in the field. This assignment will only take 20 minutes and I would greatly appreciate your help and information. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Starting IT Support At a Hospital, Any tips? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 09:26 AM PDT Hi, I will be starting full time as a support specialist at the help desk in just a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any tips, from how to handle coworkers/users, to things I should have on hand, etc? This is my first IT job and I'm so nervous! :S [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 09:07 AM PDT Alberta specifically. I'm looking for a bit of a career change, something where I might start at the bottom and can work my way up is a nice goal. I've been interested in IT before but never did end up going after it. With that said, I'm now in my late 20s with a family and bills so I can't really quit everything and go to school for 2/4 years. I found the Google IT Support Professional Certificate Specialization and I'm wondering if this certificate is accepted/recognized by Canadian employers and if Google offers help finding a job in Canada as well? Or is that benefit only in the US? My cousin who is in IT has read over the course material and says it's pretty good for what you pay for, but I'm just wondering if they offer any kind of support for Canadian students [link] [comments]  |
| Getting into IT parents have some doubts Posted: 01 Apr 2018 01:54 PM PDT Hi all, I start my associates in Computer Systems in May – currently work in marketing. My parents are concerned if I am making the right decision as they fear that cloud technologies may shrink/kill the IT department. Anyone have more information on this? [link] [comments]  |
| Is a NSA/CAE degree designation important? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 04:55 PM PDT I'm currently in my first semester trying to get an Associates Degree in Cybersecurity at a local college "Gwinnett Technical College" in GA but it does not have a NSA/CAE accredited curriculum. Should I switch to a school that does offer an Associates Degree with those designations such University of Maine - Fort Kent (it would be online school). [link] [comments]  |
| Learning conventional skills or "cutting edge" skills? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 09:55 PM PDT I am Business Analyst now with about 3 years of experience. Honestly, I don't have any hard technical skills and have just been Googling my way daily as things that I ran into things that I don't know. I am decently paid right now in a lowish COL area, but with career development in mind, I wanted to start learning some bullet point worthy skills. For example, we use MS SQL Server at my current employer. And I see that there are courses on Microsoft Virtual Academy for SQL Server. I am sure there are also other resources online for learning about views, stored procedures , writing Crystal Reports etc etc However, there is also courses on MVA for Azure and Power BI. And then I learn that NoSQL is a thing now. Should I be focusing on conventional technology that is widely used? Or focus on the newer, more cutting edge topics (Azure / other cloud base offerings) ? Which direction makes more sense? Another layer of this is that, as I am looking at Senior Business Analyst or other step-up positions for me, many of them list knowledge with whichever main application(s) they use. Often times it's Salesforce, MS Dynamics, SAP, Oracle ERP. I believe I have good aptitude to learn whichever one my future employer's company uses. However it probably won't be very helpful for job search even if I learned them via online resources without on-the-job experience, at best I can throw some buzzword around for the HR phone screen, but certainly won't get pass the hiring manager. One of my friends who was working in a BA/PM roles like me just a year ago relocated to the Bay Area, learned up machine learning during his time, and now get tasked with their company's ChatBot efforts and are now doing great things, even gave talks at conventions. That was inspiring to me, even though I am not the "one idea that will change the world" type. [link] [comments]  |
| IT Flied Beginner / CompTIA A+ CCNA? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 11:01 AM PDT Im 19 and just graduated high school. I want to get started in the IT field and I'm familiar with the CompTIA A+ as the start of things but I want some advice.. is it worth it or not.. should I start with something else? Sorry auto correct in my title, haha. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2018 08:27 PM PDT Like when i go into indeed.com, what should be typing in to find entry level jobs that suits me for IT. [link] [comments]  |
| Finding a job a crossed state lines Posted: 01 Apr 2018 08:14 PM PDT I current live and work in Ohio as a specialist at a help desk. Dealing with critical tickets for sites LAN equipment or internet connection. I've been trying to move to Pennsylvania and I've been looking for jobs for a few months and haven't heard back or have been told they like me but they don't want to take a chance on a candidate trying to move a crossed state lines. I'm looking for some advice on what the best way to handle continuing my career while attempting to move to another state. Should i be looking in a different way, explain differently to potential employers or another option i have is my parents live in Pennsylvania and i have about $5000 dollars saved up so i could quit and live with them and look for a job but I don't know if that type of risk would be worth it. Any advice on this would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Currently studying at a University for a IT degree. Starting to have doubts. Posted: 01 Apr 2018 07:38 PM PDT Hi, I'm currently studying at Uni to get an IT degree that is on a software track. I take all of the same programming classes a CS major would just without the math and theory. I guess you can call it something like a hybrid. Originally, I was a CS major because I loved programming but I just couldn't do the math a CS major has to do. I always knew I wanted to study something related to computers/programming so I figured it would be logical to switch to IT especially since I don't have the money to take the same class two or three times if I fail it. I have about a year left before I graduate and I don't feel confident in my abilities at all. I feel under prepared for work in general. I've applied to a lot of internships. Got declined for two and got a pre-screening for one(waiting to hear if they want a interview, nothing yet), the others I haven't heard from. Most of them have been for Software Dev Intern positions, which I don't think I'll get since I'll be competing with CS majors. As I get closer to graduating I feel like I'm becoming more clueless about what I want to do. I also feel like I might let my parents down because they always trust me that I know what I'm doing and think I'm gonna land some job paying 70k - 80k right outta graduation and I don't think that's gonna be the case... They've been very supportive otherwise. Everything has just been so up in the air and it's kinda frustrating. Sorry about the rant. It just helps me to write things out sometimes and I figured the benefit of getting advice wouldn't hurt. I guess what I'm really looking for right now is peace of mind. Thank you for any advice.

| BAS Technician with a decent technical background looking to advance a career Posted: 01 Apr 2018 02:41 PM PDT Got a degree in something unrelated, several year's field experience spinning a wrench and about a year of network experience. My end goal is being able to do remote work from a low cost of living country for a high wage employer in a first world country. I'm a citizen of the USA so that part is done. I work with BACnet and related systems but am trying to add bullet points to improve my employability, especially as it relates to remote work. What can I do to help me towards my goal?

| How to get experience before finishing my degree? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 06:24 PM PDT Hi, i am working towards a bachelors in IT and i still need about 1.5-2 years. I will like to get as much actual experience as i can. I wanted to ask how do i go and approach an organization and ask if they have any availability. Do i just go and ask if i can volunteer or if they have any kind of non-paid internship? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2018 12:38 PM PDT It seems as though the places with the best job markets are also very expensive in terms of buying a house and by extension starting a family. How does a professional deal with the soaring cost of living? [link] [comments]  |
