I've got a follow up interview for this postion. Shout out to @bdizzle for the help\real talk.

Good luck breh. Start studying for the interview. More than likely they'll throw some technical questions at you. Post the job description and I can let you know what types of questions they might through your way.

Yeah, I've re-did my whole resume and sent it out to a few listings online. Hopefully I finally get some callbacks.

Good lookin out on the MCSA, too. I wasn't even thinking about MS certs.

Yeah, most businesses run Windows so having a cert in Windows client (Win 7/8/10), Windows Server (2008/2012) or Active Directory will put you at an advantage since you'll probably be doing a lot of Windows related tickets in your job.

I just got the Meyers Comptia A+ certification book.

Should I buy parts for a computer and make my own following along with the book, or do you guys think just studying the book on it's own is sufficient? I also plan on watching those Messer videos.

Check Craigslist for computers. You should be able to buy a desktop for like 150-200

:dead: details :feedme:



Honestly idk :jbhmm: Because he ended up buying lunch now that I think about it :dwillhuh:

Few years ago i got a job doing support at a hospital. I dont like hospitals already but i was out of work for a while so i said fukk it.
When i got there and the dude was showing me around he was showing me some pc on wheels kinda thing the doctors and nurses used that had windows on it. He was like this is your primary thing to support day to day. Im like :francis: this is gonna be fun.
Im seeing all the sick patients, sad families. Just seemed like it was gonna be a shyt job and depressing. Especially for the pay. So when he finished showing me around we went back to the room and i sat at the desk there thinking this is gonna be some shyt i wanna go home i aint fukking with this job. So i told him im going to lunch. I went straight to the 4/5 train station back to brooklyn :mjlol:

Recruiter called me about 2 hrs later asking where i was they were worried. I was like im home sorry it wasnt for me and explained why.
She said she understood but i should've said something when i left :yeshrug:

Fell short on that net+ exam. :to: Debating on if I should try it again. Im just not really interested in the material the way I was when I studied for A+. Maybe networking ain't my lane. Ive read that I should get the net+ before attempting security plus. Would yall agree with that?
