| I hate my job and I want to know what I can do with my experience. Posted: 03 May 2018 01:17 PM PDT Hey guys, I've been lurking here for probably a year or so and have posted a couple of odd things here and there. I don't know where else to go with this (And if you have suggestions for a different sub I will delet and repost elsewhere). I've been working at a repair shop for about a year and a half, managing it for almost a year now. It is so stressful, and while playing with grown-up legos is fun and often rewarding, I am so effing sick of laying awake at night, stressing over things that are probably going to be fine (like money tied up in assets, if my employees are, y'know, doing their jobs (they usually do,)) and I have a fear with every computer that gets sent out that there will be some flagrant issue. If you can't tell, I have an anxiety disorder! But that should be irrelevant, I typically manage it quite well but this job is a different form of stressful. I make shit for pay (The real pay here is experience.) and I have no certs. I don't even have A+, I just received training from the right guy and I have my own previous repair experience. I have a reasonably high success rate, I'd say I successfully repair 4/5 with some ending up as data transfers, others sometimes get more complicated as things can sometimes snowball in the repair process. I take pride in my work and have gotten to the point that you almost can't tell the device has been serviced previously, if it was in my hands last. So, the real question: What do I look like on paper as a repair shop manager with no certs or saleable prior experience? Should I get some certs from my local community college before I dip my toe in the job market? Or should I just wing it and see who wants to hire someone like me? I don't have children, I would be satisfied with even 40-50k a year. I just need advice from someone who's been here before. [link] [comments]  |
