Yall need to peep this: The Job Market is Getting Hotter, but Colder for those Applying Directly
Sent my resume into a System Engineer gig the other week when applying to bunch of places, and i got invited to a group interview for a Systems Engineerjob the other day, shyt i dont even have a cert yet
I came in today, and though I was def outclassed by most the other candidates in the on job experience department, the owner really fukked with me, and i was able to adequately answer all his questions. I held my own in dat bytch brehs
shyt was a really informative experience, got some good tips from the other candidates as well as the interviewer.
Said he'd keep me updated in the next week. but i had a great interview and strong test scores for this other help desk gig and got interviews with other places. imma see how everything pans out
That gif was on point, for what you were saying, lmao.

The best opps for IT you don't get via recruiters or direct apply. They have yall taking tests and shyt.
Read deeper into the article cause a lot of the shyt is true 1000% across industries. If you want the good jobs you got to network and get in thru the back door.
Get direct to the hiring manager AKA your direct would be boss. Then impress him with your achievements. None of this ___ years ___ language BS requirements.
It's about whether you can do the work or not and beyond.

Can’t move with me in this digital space
After trying on my own I had trouble focusing and getting my first A+ cert.
Went to ITT Tech today to see what they could do for me. I know it's a scam but I don't have time to go to community college and at 25 I hate my current job. I've been wasting away for years and am desperate to the point I'll take any legal way out.
My plan.
Get my GED and my A+ Cert at the same time finish around the same time. Call around and see if any place will let me work for free or maybe even hire me with just the one cert. Gain experience, while going to school and get my associates in networking, I think that's what the guy called it. From there get another cert and then a decent paying job and build on that.
Can anyone help? Does this seem like an ok plan or am I wasting my time?

SAP is used by like 90% of Fortune companies in one form or another. SAP also has Recent Graduate programs where they train you and get you certified and then put you in the field.

Im not a breh so hopefully you guys won't mind helping me out. I really want to get into IT and I'm going to start by reading this thread in its entirety. Just wondering if the advice is still relevant? This thread started in 2012 and I know IT changes a lot. Should I still start with A+ and Networking?

I'm in the same boat as the poster right before this.
I just finished learning html, css, javascript, php, MySql angular, some node. Kind of just started python, but because I'm pretty experienced with coding the basics really aren't that bad.
Where do I start with this whole certs business? I see A+ and Networking+ mentioned, and a ton of bunch of acronyms being thrown around, but have no idea where to begin. Security looks like a real interesting thing to get into. What is the best path? A+ > Net+ > Sec+ > CCNA > CISSP > CEH > GSEC?
I really want to get my professional life started here, but man I'm confused. I assume the first step is Help Desk, but how do I even qualify for that? Are there online courses to start the above?
