Before my current job I was almost always the only black guy in the IT Department. The atmosphere 90% of the time is going to depend on the type of IT Manager running the place. If you have a clueless moron running the IT Department expect a three ring circus type of atmosphere with a high employee turnover rate.

hey dudes, what site do you recommend for a+, Network+ practice tests
Wondering if there's anyone more computer savvy than myself who can help. Tried searching around and have come up with nothing...
On certain sites, my college's course registration page for example, I'm unable to load the page because
Ive tried the same pages on IE, Chrome, and Opera to the same result.
On all three browsers I made sure Java was updated, and that it was enabled in the options....still nothing.
any ideas? appreciate it.

So back in 2012 i started doing research and looking for jobs so that i could get into the IT industry long story short i found out that Dublin is now the sort of silicone valley of europe because alot of IT companies ibm hp ect have moved there because they pay no tax. Anyhow found out that there are helpdesk positions at these companies but the jobs were in Europeans languages only so helpdesk jobs in Spanish french ect and for my language. i thought i was

The recruiter told me that he was waiting on ibm for more information regarding starting date ect about a month went by from when he sent me the email telling me i was successful to me sending him a email asking him what's up ect, the idiot didn't even reply

Don't be a fukk-boy/girl and with-hold knowledge knowing damn well other cats have given you game....

Most recruiters are scum bags and that's why I refuse to deal with them.
Well now i know that i guess
everything is a learning process. I have 8 months to get myself intro the IT industry or my ass is going back to school. will be starting programming asap might even buy the A+ bundle posted earlier if i get money in time. being broke sucks dikk
I've learned this lesson over the past few months as well. I've been developing a particular distaste towards staffing agencies and HR in general.
recruiters are fukking idiots my interview was supposed to be a skype interview so i got suited up and everything and never even got the call. bytchass recruiter isn't replying to my emails either fukk them nikkas
I refuse to do business with recruitment firms regardless of the job opportunity. Hopefully If more tech people boycotted them they'll all eventually fold.
