| How to find entry level Linux job? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 07:08 AM PDT Yesterday I went to three job sites (careerbuilder, dice, indeed), and looked for anything posted in the last 7 days, within 30 miles of me, with "linux" in the description. That got about 3 dozen hits, not counting anything with 'developer', 'senior', or 'manager', in the title. But going through the requirements, every single one of them listed a minimum requirement of 4 years of enterprise Linux experience or a b.s. in computer science. Every single one. I was expecting to find a lot of jobs as a combined windows/*nix admin, and a lot with a minimum of 1 year experience in an admin role, but this is ridiculous, right? Does my area just not have entry level Linux jobs, or am I going to have to talk to a recruiter, or is there some kind of trick to this? [link] [comments]  |
| Does this path make any sense? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 04:49 AM PDT I am currently in the process of going back to school for an IT degree through my employer's tuition assistance program. I am still unsure what my end goal is from all of this, the particular career and job I want to end up in. I have always enjoyed technology and know it's a growing field. I started out wanting to go to WGU online, I have heard it's a good program, I like the costs, and the pace of the courses sounds great. However they won't accept me into the IT program without certs or 3 years IT experience. So for now, I am going to Strayer and taking an intro it IT course. I start tomorrow and spoke with my advisor for the first time the other day. After chatting for a bit and talking about my background (I have a BSBA in Business Management and work for VZW), he started asking me about why I decided not to just go ahead and get a masters degree. I hadn't even thought about it, since I have no real schooling for IT even though I have basic knowledge. He mentioned the Information Systems or the Information Assurance Masters of Science programs. I would only have to take about 6 courses to kind of lay the ground work, then I'd be able to start my masters. My problem here is, I know Strayer is a for profit school and they are much more expensive than WGU. On top of that, I imagine a Masters from there wouldn't mean quite as much as some other schools. Should I stick to my original plan and work on getting into WGU's IT program? Should I even pursue getting a masters through WGU and just skip getting a bachelor's in IT since I already have a degree? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for IT management software for college project. What is the standard? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 09:58 AM PDT I'm looking into management software for a college project that I'm leading. Our professor tasked us with designing a network and gave us requirements. One of the requirements is being able to manage all devices from the east and west hub that we created. So my question is what management software is the standard? What do y'all use in the real world? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 10:03 PM PDT Hey everyone, I'm just about to take the CySA+ and I'm researching the next certification to obtain down the road. I've read conflicting opinions on the CASP and was curious as to what you all thought. Thanks for any advice or thoughts you're willing to lend. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 10:07 PM PDT First of all I just recently immigrated to southern california and currently looking for work. I have been here for over a month and been looking for work for over a week. I know its not that long but I know just having a IT degree wont land me a job. I want to go on the path to become a network admin. Some people advise me to go look for desktop support or helpdesk job to get my feet wet. I dont have prior job experience nor do I have certifications only a degree. So with that in mind where should I start? How should I begin? What would you guys do to get out of this mess? Should I get a CCNA Cert or what certifications would you guys recommend to me to help me land a job? Thank you in advancee!! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 01:50 PM PDT Now I'm sure you guys are reading the title and automatically will think to tell me off, but please hear me out first! I'm currently enrolled for a Business Information Technology course at my local college and I have until July 3rd to reserve my seat. I've been working working manual labor all my life and realized one thing I love about my current job is that every day is different and you are always at a different work site. Now I'm kind of second guessing my decision with my career, maybe I wouldn't enjoy sitting at a desk long term as a job (apart from video games lol). My interest in technology and computer based things is definitely there, but the work lifestyle not so much. How has your career progression gone in this field? And are you happy with the sedentary / slightly non exciting work that comes with it? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 05:54 PM PDT Hello all, Currently an undergrad majoring in IT w an INFOSEC concentration, and hopefully going for an accelerated masters for cyber security. I live in the Northern VA area which I hear is a hotspot for that sort of thing. My question is how does leadership and management work in the IT field if at all? I'm currently in the military and haven't been in job besides various shiftwork. In the military as time goes on you get leadership positions and shy away from the technical aspects (typically). In the civilian sector is it also a linear sort of track where you can start help desk and then be managing other people doing IT? If not, what would help someone do that? I'm getting a minor in leadership as well and doing ROTC to commission. I'm almost positive managers/leadership make more than plain technical workers in any field, and although I love IT I like leading people more, so I'd want that as my end goal. Thank you [link] [comments]  |

| Best Method for Finding Part Time, Work From Home IT Jobs? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 02:23 PM PDT All, What is the best method for finding part time, work from home IT jobs? I have skills in database and analytics, as well as web programming. I'm interested in something steadier than gig sites. I've considered applying for contract IT jobs and waiting until I get to the interview phase to discuss the work from home and part time options, but that seems unlikely to be successful. Any success stories out there? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Accept full-time job offer or stay with current job and pursue Bachelor's? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 01:09 PM PDT Recently got a job offer for a full-time help desk position which would be a step up from my current position. Currently only have an Associate's degree. Current job is part-time/temporary (with possibility for permanency/extension) which gives me time to pursue a Bachelor's. What I'm worried about is that once I accept a full-time job I won't have time to get a Bachelor's later on which would be detrimental to getting a higher level position later on in life. So I guess the dilemma here is should I go for experience (new job) or should I focus on education? Right now I feel like my lack of experience is killing me when job searching. It was hard enough to get this job offer after tons of job applications. So I am kind of leaning towards trying to get as much job experience as possible now. At the same time I don't know if accepting the offer will come back to bite me in the future by not having a Bachelor's. Something I'm wondering is if it is typical/possible to transition from help desk to a higher level role like system or net admin even without a Bachelor's? [link] [comments]  |

Posted: 30 Jun 2018 06:12 PM PDT Hi Guys, I am a fairly recent graduate (Dec. 2017) and have been working a job for ~6 months now, although not one in a position that I want.

Do you guys think that you could give me any feedback on my current resume? I am confident that I have the experience for one of these roles, I just don't know if my resume is showcasing that. Thanks so much! Resume [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 04:40 PM PDT I just graduated a couple weeks ago with an IT degree and a focus in cyber security and information assurance. I was hired by the DoD as a GS-2210-07 (SYSADMIN/INFOSEC) my first quarter of senior year pending my graduation. My tentative starting date is July 9th. I have Secret clearance and will be trying everything I can to rotate into a top secret position as soon as possible. My current plan is get my sec+, CEH (or DoD equivalent), then in 2-3 years go get my masters in cyber security and then CSSP. After that I will try to find work in consulting or security analyst then go for PMP and stick with manager positions through retirement. I have a few questions : Are there Any additional certs I should be focused on? Which position openings specifically should I be looking for within the DoD to keep advancing? How quickly should I expect to climb the GS ladder? [link] [comments]  |
| Is my current knowledge good enough to apply for an internship? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:13 PM PDT Hello everyone. A year ago I decided to change my education path. After my bachelor degree (management) I applied for a computer science master degree (conversion course). I passed my exams with the final average mark 81.3 what I think it's pretty good. However, I am aware that mark is not important but the technical skills and knowledge gained during my degree. At the moment I'm writing my dissertation and I'm applying for some internships. But to be honest I'm not sure if my current knowledge is good enough to have any chance to get an internship offer? Maybe should I spend more time on improving my technical skills first? Do you mind to give me an objective opinion about what I know so far? Below is the short overview: 1. Programming language - Java, 1 year academic experience: all control-flow abstractions, data structures, inheritance, algorithms (like searching, sorting etc), concurrent programming, event driven programming, very basic of GUI programming 2. Linux - 6months academic experience; really basic stuff: shell script, regular expression 3. SQL - 6 months academic experience with plenty of querying; currently I'm taking additional course about sql on the Udemy 4. HTML and CSS - 4 months academic experience I also used a PHP and JavaScript but I can't say that I have any solid knowledge about these languages; I wrote code only for my courseworks so it is really limited knowledge about them. I am applying for software engineering internships where Java is used. I'm not interested in validation, network and cloud. I don't see myself only as a back-end developer but more likely a full stack developer (I'm interested in designing as well). Any opinions and advices would be really appreciated!

| When is it too late to negotiate? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:48 PM PDT I have been looking to transition careers and after interviewing with a company for a NOC Tech 2 position, I have received an offer. After some researching, it seems a bit below market value, would it be bad form to propose a counter offer? I would love to hear your guys thoughts. [link] [comments]  |
