    What does high turnover say to you in a company?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 03:08 AM PDT

    I'm working for a company, fantastic. They seemingly have a high turnover rate. Out of 25 people in the dedicated IT department maybe 5 have been there more than 3 years, and 3 of them have been there over a decade. All techs except 1 are under a year of being there. All 3 supervisors have been there under 2 years.

    Is it possible to get a part-time help desk job that allows you to work from home?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:37 PM PDT

    Working towards my Comptia + certs and was looking to start out as helpdesk but was wondering if you think being able to work part-time at home as that profession would be possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    Please review my resume... Please be brutal.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:52 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I am applying to help desk positions at the moment. I'm in progress of getting my A+ cert. I've read all over there it's just worth it to apply, there is nothing to lose, so that is what I'm doing. I used to be an Esthetician and worked in the beauty industry but I came to realize that it was not really my passion, and that I want to pursue IT. I've always loved computers since I was a kid, and even built a 2 of my own (I was heavily into PC gaming as a teen).

    Currently attending community college to get my associates in Information Technology Management. I work at a bar part time right now as I take online courses, and I hate it. I want to get out of the bar business. I feel like it's just hindering my ability to get work anywhere else. Prior to working at the bar I have office experience, as well as working in the beauty industry as an esthetician.

    How is my resume? Please be brutal. Thank you in advance.

    Is packet tracer enough exp to get mid level networking job?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:17 PM PDT

    So on paper I'm amazing. But all Iv e really done is read a few books and gotten certs. Ive technically had the titles of net admin or net tech but I've never really done anything but run a few show commands.

    I'm getting pretty good with PT so I'm wondering if you guys think I would crash and burn at like an ISP JOB. I mean I know a lot of theory or how to do it (I'd question mark everyword)

    Cisco certifications without field experience

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:23 PM PDT

    Hi,

    As the title suggests I would like to know whether it is possible to get the Cisco certs (especially the "Professional" and higher ones) without any prior field experience.

    The reason I am asking is that I am currently still a student. I come from a compsci background and I am preparing a Master's in computer networks (and likely will be doing a PhD after, only for personal fulfilment). Ultimately I want to get into IT and so I am thinking of preparing for professional IT certifications (specifically the RHCSA and the CCNA and CCNP R&S) in parallel of my studies.

    Thank you all, and have an excellent weekend!

    Certification Reputation Questions

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 02:23 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. I am currently looking to expand my career prospects by either getting another bachelor's degree (in data analytics) or getting a wide variety of certifications. I have been comparing the pricing and it seems clear that getting certifications would be overall cheaper.

    I have used codecademy before and like their courses. They have intensive courses that include certifications that aren't bad in terms of price. I was wondering if anyone here could speak to the credibility of these certifications.. if I were to take these courses and gain the certs and put them on my resume would it be reputable and generally accepted by potential employers?

    Thanks!

    I have IT internship with Linux Sysadmin work. How can I get the most out of it.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 06:05 PM PDT

    Hello I am a CS student that landed an internship job in the IT department for a F-100 company. I will be doing mostly sys admin work of creating and configuring Apache servers. I want to get the most out of this internship. The only exposure to sysadmin work I have is when I uploaded my web app and deployed it to Digital Ocean ubuntu server. I say I enjoy web development more than I do sys admin but I am open to getting a job in it to pay the bills while I finish school. My questions are this:

    1. How can I make the most out of this internship? I want to be able to code but I am not sure how much coding there will be working with Apache.
    2. From the sounds of it most of their stuff is on-prem legacy technology, would this hurt me in the long run if I want to work in cloud technology
    3. How can I make system admin work applicable to CS and if my manager is open to an intern project what should I suggest that I can do that is related (ie. would it be setting up CI tool ? Creating a dashboard to monitor server use? Coding a script for a server that automates something???)

    I would just like to riff off some ideas with you guys. What are some real software needs for a system admin in a linux/apache environment? How do I make the most of my time?

    Contractor - personal indemnity insurance

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 06:00 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I'm moving from being an in-house consultant to being a fully independent consultant/contractor working under my own limited company in the next few months.

    I know i need personal indemnity insurance to cover negligence, legal equipment ect. but i'm not sure what claim value i should be paying for. Policies range from £50k up to £3mil.

    Does anyone have personal experience in this area to share? Is there a base line hiring companies prefer you to have?

    TIA

    Training

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:48 PM PDT

    So my boss just told me to find some sort of training class to take (not because I'm under performing or anything like that, just cause they like to grow the local talent). It doesn't have to be a local class so this is going to be really open ended.

    Basic background

    I don't have a college degree although I have taken some college courses.

    I've been in IT for about 13 years in roles ranging from Geeksquad to Executive IT support, IT project manager, IT tech I-III.

    I have interest in coding, network, sys admin, etc... Basically all things IT.

    So my question for you guys is what are some training classes that you would recommend to advance my career?

    Like I said I'm really just interested in learning new skills and bettering myself but I'm bad at making decisions and I have learning ADD I have a hard time staying focused on something. There are just too many things to learn and I jump around a lot and I'm not sure where to focus in.

    How would one word his or her resume to make the upward climb in regards to his or her's career advancement.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:22 AM PDT

    I'm really struggling here getting the right hits via recruiters. Every time I list what I have done project wise, a recruiter messages me with a job pertaining to the tool I've used in the project ( which unfortunately are areas I'm no longer interested in.) Is there a way to word a resume without being too vague and still get my point across? or should I just accept the fact that some recruiters don't know how to read between the lines.

    Landed an interview

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:13 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I just landed an interview for an entry level position at "bench repair" for an I.T company. I do know someone who at the company who got me an interview, and said it would be a great start for someone like me trying to get into the field.
    Any pointers I can get to prepare? I'm nervous, and feel like I don't know much for I.T work and I actually just started studying for the CompTIA A+ cert this week.
