| Officially a IT pro.. sorta but I did it! Thanks for all your support! Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:04 PM PST After years of procrastination and just going for the dollar I finally decided it was time to pursue my dreams. I have been lurking on this sub for awhile along with other it subs and started studying for my a+. I don't have any professional experience but about 3 years of free lance web development. I started to look at jobs and applied for some entry level jobs just to get my feet wet. Well I just finished my first week at my new job as a hardware specialist! It's just a help desk role but I'm so excited! Although now I don't really need that a+ but I already purchased the vouchers.. lol oh well. Thanks for all your advice guys and I couldn't have done it with out y'all! Here is to a new year and new beginnings! [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for an advice as to where to start my way in IT Posted: 10 Jan 2021 10:00 AM PST So i'm currently doing my masters in Logistics, but it's not easy to find a job in that field because i've never worked in it, also, due to covid, lots of internship programs were closed. That is why i'm looking into IT but not just to support myself financially, maybe to make a career there. I am looking towards design/photoshop direction, some 3d stuff because i've been always a fan of it. I do lettering, some calligraphy though not digitally. My question to you is what online courses/schools would you suggest, what fields should dude that likes to draw letters look into? This is my second reddit post, so if it doesn't belong here or written in an unclear manner, i'm sorry. Hope you doing great, thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How can I be sure if I'm ready for a helpdesk position? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:11 AM PST I am currently studying for my BCs, and I've quickly realized that my college education will not be enough to help me land a job. I've been wondering what I would need to dip my toes into the I.T. world, as most of my experience has been crackpot projects at home or work I've done under the table (reinstalling Windows, configuring basic networks, backing up emails and so on.) I've no certifications that I can think of, though I do have some experience working with Windows and Linux as well as VMs (KVM, VMWare). I've been extremely worried that once I get out I won't be able to land a job, so I would like to know how to be sure I am ready. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you refresh your memory and boost the confidence for an upcoming Interview? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 10:22 AM PST I have an upcoming full stack engineer interview. Even though I have several years of experience I'm not confident whether my knowledge is enough for this interview. It has been 2 years since my last interview. How do you quickly boost up your confidence in these kind of situations? [link] [comments]  |
| What's podcast or article do you use to keep up with today's trend Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:39 AM PST I recently got into podcasts and been working with aws with my goal to get more into devops so I am currently hearing the official aws podcast when driving to work. But it can be a bit boring and lengthy and I want to find new podcasts about what's new in the tech world and what's growing. I am sure many of you have a source to stay up to date and would to know what that is [link] [comments]  |
| Time to get off my rear and get into the IT field since I have a few certs. Why not get more? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:28 AM PST Well it;s time. I've been on the sub for awhile now. I have a few certs under my belt. But could never take the paycut from the job I had and have now to go to a lower pay of half of my normal pay. But I am about to start my SQL classes and hopefully after that be able to get in the IT world with a pay that is at least close to what I am making now. Wish me luck and I'll be here more in the future hopefully! [link] [comments]  |
| I want the database job John has in Silicon Valley. How do I go about getting there? Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:38 PM PST John from the show Silicon Valley seems to have the job of my dreams. Walking around fixing and checking on shit and being very solitary. I've read that database centers also have schedules like nurses do where it's 3x 12s on 4 days off? Is that true? Any insight or guidance would be appreciated. I currently do GIS work if that's of any use [link] [comments]  |
| (UK) Recent graduate looking to get into IT, career change Posted: 10 Jan 2021 09:03 AM PST As the title mentions I graduated in 2020 with 2:1 in Accounting and Finance, however I'm looking to go into the IT sector as broad as it may seem. I was wondering if anyone else had any advice if there's anything I can pro-actively do to better my chances to securing any IT job and potential progression. I've been looking at 1st line IT support roles to just get my foot in the door, or would applying to specific sub-sectors such as cyber security or data science be more beneficial. Is it worth teaching myself a coding language? Any advice is appreciated since I'm deciding to go into a completely different field, but I believe it's what I want to do since I love everything computers even the extemely detailed side of it.

| Cloud implementation of costing systems. CPA and Cloud question. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:42 AM PST Hi all, I'm hoping to hear from accounting professionals who are working in cloud costing/ implementation of clouding systems in thier organizations. Hopefully a CPA or something like that. I was wondering how are the prospects of what you do? Do you enjoy it? How's the work? Do you think it is a good career move for a young CPA? How's the pay? Thanks tor everyone who can provide some insight. Really appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Network or Software engineer for future IT job???? Posted: 09 Jan 2021 10:37 PM PST Hi all, im a 14yo interested in both these jobs but i really can't decipher between which should i choose for my job in the future, like is it easy to learn networking and what do i need to know? Because ive been learning python the past few months and i seem to really like it and consider learning more languages. So all advice would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Should I wear a tie to Zoom interview? This is for a technical support position. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:20 AM PST I have a sport coat and dress shirt. Should I also wear a tie? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it a bad idea for me to just go to local computer repair shops and drop off my resume? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 06:38 AM PST I graduated Highschool June of 2020 and have been looking for Helpdesk jobs for about 4-5 months, I am A+, CCNA, and now Azure fundamentals certified and am working towards the second half of the Microsoft Modern Desktop Administration Associate. I have gotten a couple of responses and a few interviews but nothing. Getting a little frustrated, would it be a bad idea to go and drop my resume off at a few repair shops. also, my resume is linked below, If you do have the time to critique and give feedback, I greatly appreciate it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QcJ_oOP-wox6SRtvjFK8nI-n61XI0ENN/view?usp=sharing [link] [comments]  |
| My long term job doesn’t sound long term anymore . Posted: 10 Jan 2021 06:26 AM PST I got my first Devops job 9 months ago, I have over 10 years exp in IT. I am not doing much Devops but mainly supporting hosting the environment for are application. I use azure devops to Automate my daily tasks when I can. So we currently have 3 applications (2 were bought after I got hired) but in 3-4 years it will only be 1 application. Most likely the team of 7 will be cut to 2-3. So do I hang around for that time or just jump ship now? I was hoping this could be a long term job =( [link] [comments]  |
| An immigrant predicament. Free labour for experience. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:35 AM PST Hi guys, I am an international student in NSW, Australia, currently I'm studying for CCNA. I recently graduated in IT and majored in Network Design and Management. After 150+ applications, I'm feeling super helpless and desperate. I've seen things blow up in Reddit, can anyone give me any kind of help, a tip, guidance or a reference. At this moment I'm open for anything, even free internship or unpaid work for experience.

| I want to help my Mom find a course online to help her find a new career. Posted: 09 Jan 2021 09:33 PM PST Hello Everyone, I am looking to help my mom get a job in IT and I wanted to know what the best resources there are online. She doesn't want to get a job where she is watching children, especially with the virus she is not called to work often. I believe that she should start a new career in IT. She is willing to learn everything as well. She did do some data entry part time job where she entered clients into a client manager through an Excel Spreadsheet and I think that those kind of jobs are going to be best for her since she doesn't know about computers too much. Does anyone know what type of training she can get online and from where? I was thinking data analyst but I don't really know what a data analyst really does. Ultimately, I don't even know if all of the time that she invests will pay off because it's not a college degree that she will be working towards. Yet, I really want to help her with this. If anyone has recommendations on the course she should dedicate her time towards, I would very much appreciate it! [link] [comments]  |
| Getting first software engineer job as an international student in Australia Posted: 10 Jan 2021 01:14 AM PST Hi all, I'm a senior computer science student at Monash Uni. I applied for IBL program (like internship in other countries, you work for a company for 6 months and they pay your final years' tuition fee). The pandemic hit and they cut down the IBL program since many companies pulled out. I didn't get it. Now my plan is derailed since I have to stay for 1 more year at Uni, doing a project (substitution for IBL) before I can officially graduate. It's really hard for international student to score internship (beside IBL) since companies require citizenship. I have some side projects (I'm currently working on a crawler on Python), and my GPA is not too terrible (around 3.0). I've been working as a technician for the last two years, but I want to gain professional experience as a software engineer (or a developer). Can someone gives me advices, thank you so much.

| What are some resume builders I can do in like a week or two? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 03:58 AM PST Im in my second semester and my resume looks so bad!! it's just McDicks and that's it. Im going to transfer to a university in a year so I gotta actually seem smart because my GPA is yikes. Is there like a test or just anything I can add to a resume [link] [comments]  |
| Can you guys please recommend some HANDS-ON LEARNING RESOURCES for IT Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:38 PM PST Any suggestions on some websites that you can use to learn more IT stuff (maybe have "paths", to learn about a particular technology). SOMETHING that's HANDS-ON, such as labs, and simulations, preferably with answer/solutions? Like "paths" that you can follow along and do labs to actually learn and practice instead of reading page after page after page. Specifically, Cyber Security, but also like Networking, Database, Programming, Cloud...etc. For example: INE training has "paths" that you can use to learn ethical hacking. Any sites that similar to learn and GET HANDS-ON PRACTICE/LEARNING would be good. I know LinkedIn Learning has videos that are good to follow along. I would appreciate any help [link] [comments]  |
| Graduated with a degree in Information Systems. Can I get quick some feedback on my plans? Posted: 09 Jan 2021 02:38 PM PST Hi all, My internship plans were cancelled last summer because of the pandemic so I decided to take more school instead and graduate early. No IT experience, which from what I assume is a dealbreaker for nearly any position that isn't help desk work. I want to eventually become a junior systems analyst or network Are there any other recommended paths to help me possibly skip level 0 help desk work? I need to handle my college debt soon, and would prefer a position that would offer more advanced experience and training. [link] [comments]  |
| Most efficient way to take cert exams? I need advice Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:15 PM PST I'm pursing my bachelor's in cyber security and I recently found out that some certs can be transferred! Basically if i pass some certs i don't have to take some classes which saves me a lot of money.. my question is what is the most efficient way to go about taking the certs? I'll need to take network+, security+, ccna, and cissp! Should I do net then ccna then security then cissp? [link] [comments]  |

However, I'm having a heard time find a job because I don't have experience. It's been really frustrating.
