fukking hate this shyt, but i'm gonna look at it tomorrow. If i can't get it, just gonna say fukk the CCNA cause i skipped clean over this shyt on my Net+ exam

If you don't have the discipline to learn something as simple as subnetting, you'll never make it out of help desk and you definitely won't make it in networking. This is level 1 stuff and basic as hell. If you can't handle that, what are you gonna do when you have a network outage and a priority 1 server isn't receiving traffic?

I do that shyt now, and i'd pass it off :dame:


Rebooting the server would most likely fix that shyt tho :mjpls:

How many hours have you spent working on your resume this weekend?
Yesterday before I went to bed I spent probably an hour and some change tweaking up what I already had , basically putting my skills and computer knowledge on there , but I'm still not really satisfied , I feel like something is missing for some reason . I've been doing this almost everyday for like a week .

You have any experience? And I don't necessarily even mean just job experience....college classes or projects related to IT, volunteering, fixing your cousin's computer, etc. Anything would help.

That said you might have to do what I did and start out in a call center. My first IT job was a tech support rep making $10/hr basically just resetting passwords and telling people to reboot their modems and I was able to get a helpdesk technician job after that. Once you have your first job it gets easier to find the next one. I would say hit up Comcast/AT&T/Verizon/etc or whatever ISPs are in your area to see if they're hiring. Their tech support departments usually have high turnover, so they take people with no experience as long as they're reasonably tech saavy and can be polite on the phone.
Good looks for the valid advice breh , will definitely follow suit :salute:

It's not psychology breh, I'm just reposting what you wrote :heh:

Was this a job that you actually got or a job a recruiter emailed you about? Because I'm confused why you would turn down a job paying 80k as a Network analyst so you can make less money doing something you don't like :patrice:

It was in my hometown of baton rouge. I love Houston to much go back, especially so soon.

Plus here i have time to study at work and improve my craft, BS on here, and meet a lot of dope people.

Like right now i'm just posting on here while doing my CCNA courses
