lmaoooo damn brehMy project was ahead of schedule. I was feeling myself at that point
Boss: CZR, did you get my email?
Me: Yes sir, do you want to me fix it?
Boss: No, just create a ticket and send it to the Ops team.
Me: Sure thing, chiefjust to confirm, you want me to create 1 ticket, right?
Boss: No, create a ticket for each instance
Me: But that would take 2000+ tickets
Boss: Better get started
Me:
I almost walked smooth out that bihh.

Do you still have this pdf? Would surely appreciate it
Can you PM me that sample if you still have it? I moved to Austin a month ago for my first Help Desk job at eBay. Love the job, hate the environment. Thinking of moving back to Atlanta but my resume isn't giving me any bite
Would really appreciate this sample if still available. So, it's been over a year and this is actually my roadmap to becoming a Network Security Admin. Did this plan work out for you? Did you add any tweaks to it?

Why not put in 1-2 yrs at ebay and try to move into a higher role internally or elsewhere. Relocation for a lateral move seems like a horrible ROI.

I realllllllllllllyyyy don't like it here... too many whites, I feel out of place... too expensive, I moved out here with a trunkful of stuff & $300 to my name, currently been hopping from one Airbnb to the next.... lonely, don't know absolutely anyone out here
no family, no friends. I left Miami once eBay gave me that call. I even spoke to them about my experience so far. They said because I'm in the "introductory" phase, I can put in a resignation & come back once something opens again. I'm eligible for rehire, if anything. Perfect thing just at a wrong time...

It doesn't really make sense to the leave the job, but that's just my opinion. Is the job itself bad or you just don't like the people there? Do they pay for you to get certifications? If you leave to go back home and have a job lined up, that is different. However leaving just to leave is putting yourself at a disadvantage. You can go through this thread and see how many people are fighting just to get their first crack at an IT job.

The job itself is great, the people are, eh, okay. No- they don't pay for certifications. I actually do have a few jobs lined up in Atlanta but none are solid yet. I've done tests and interviews- what I'm waiting on now is the final call for a decision. I applied with ADP tech support, did everything from their assessments to their phone interviews. Waiting for their decision. CarMax tech support, did assessment and one phone interview. Have another phone interview tomorrow morning. Applied for the city government tech support for waste management, they want me to schedule an in-house assessment. I already got turned down for 2 other jobs because I'm not there at this very moment. I would eventually have to appear in person for the other 3.
I spoke to the HR at eBay yesterday. She said they don't want to lose me as an employee so if I would like, they have a training class that starts July 10th (I would need to go back into training as a refresher). If nothing works out, I can come back without having to go through the hiring process again- she said she will put me down as doing a leave of absence & I would just need to be back by the 10th.
I think I'm going to take them up on that
I understand some of the posters are fighting to get their first crack at an IT job but why exactly can't they do what I did? I drove 20 hrs from Miami to Austin to get my foot in the door. Most of these people don't want to leave their comfort zone to get into their field, that just shows how far their ambition goes- I was willing to leave even with nothing but now that I have offers back at home I'm more than capable of moving back AND still having a job being held on the back burner just in case it doesn't work out.

you might as well just give up working in America if too many whites is an issue for you lol.

Lol I mean it's not..... it's just alot of getting use to, I suppose. At least while I was in Miami, the whites were mingled in with the Cubans & Jamaicans & the Haitians & Bahamians & Puerto Ricans, etc. With the diverse culture, there was no way of being singled out. Not here in Austin though

Eff a diverse culture. Get your money and move to the next opportunity when it is time. You got Ebay on your resume now, all this stuff you concerned about will be non factors once you get the experience to make some real money. As long as you aren't in a role where you are being micromanaged to the point it impacts your performance than there isn't much to complain about. You're in the grind stage so you just gotta suck it up because I promise there are 10+ dudes in this thread worrying about little things like getting their worthless A+ certs who would rather trade places with you.
If this is what you actually want to do then you'd know that the annoying sacrifices will pay off (unless you plan on being in help desk forever).
