They do not do them one in the same. Deloitte is a Consulting company, they are a Big 4 Accounting firm. Once again, he would more than likely be able to do work auditing or providing management consulting to a company, but not doing your traditional IT roles outside of providing outsourcing services maybe, even then it would not be a hybrid of say Programming and Accounting. He at most would serve as a Business Analyst but even then it would not be in the sense of working with a technical Development or IT team and doing accounting activities.
nah

@bdizzle and anyone else Know of any other big national recruiters like robert half?

First off fukk Robert Half :pacspit:

But there's tons of them. Pyramid Consulting, Ajilon, Kforce, Brooksource, etc. But there's tons of smaller recruiting companies too. As long as the money right and they're making me jump through unnecessary hoops like having to meetup with them and shyt, I don't care who the recruiter is.

Breh, you don't have to check them out. Upload your shyt to the job board sites and let them come to you. Just make sure your resume is on point and you should be straight.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I work as a contractor at a big tech company. The position is inventory management\tracking, setting up new users, delivering equipment to users.

It's not technical enough to get me a help desk job. I have A+. The name of the company gets me interviews. I can answer questions about DNS, DHCP, TCP/UDP, etc. But I don't know troubleshooting. I'm not sure what to do anymore. I'm still working stupid overtime. Today I worked 7am - 8pm.

I'm thinking of going for some Apple certs. I just feel kinda lost.

what do you like to do? what gets you excited to go into work? where do you see yourself in 3-5 years?

Go to a tech support call center, but if you're setting up users you should be able to get a help desk job

3-5 years from now I want to be further along in my path to systems administrator. I guess I'd have more certs and know some scripting by then. My problem is that my resume looks amazing, but I don't have skills \experience to back it up.

I don't mind going into work unless I'm really tired. I work at a casual company with free meals.
