Aw yes...i forgot all about college...that means winter graduations...that means January and February...need to tell HR to start finding us some "recenter college graduates"


LOL at these poor fools thinking they have a chance...

Me: So I see you have your MCITP...CCNA...RHEL cert...
Recent college male graduate with computer science degree: Yes Sir

Me: So tell me about your experience...what companies have you worked for

College male who really thinking he is getting this job: Well I just graduated from college...but i did an intern ship at blah blah blah...

Me: So let me get this straight...you've never really done corporate IT...but you have all these certs...How did you get all these certs without any real-world expereince? Are you just a paper tiger...

College male: UUUHHH...well...uuuhhh I...

For females they don't even get that far...if they don't dress slutty enough we just ask them super technical stuff we know they don't know to get them out of there...

We have to take notes over interviews we do...the problem is that once we go back to HR we don't have to show them the notes, we just have to mark a checkbox that says "did you take notes on the candidates". and then we just make up some random B.S. But during the interview we would take notes...this one guy...no lie...would have notes like this...

"Titties not big enough"
"Titties to saggy"
"Sound like a bytch"
"To many pimples"

We interviewed this bad spanish chick once and the dude just drew a giant pair of breast and then held the paper up to me, while we were still interviewing this check like She was sitting to the left of me so she could see it, but she couldn't quite figure out what it was. I was like...

Good luck kids...it's a jungle out there...

I work as a Project Manager for a large telecom company...Well...that's not completely true...I work for a company that the telecom company bought...because we do a lot of virtualization...and they figured it was cheaper to just buy us than to build a customer facing virtualization platform themselves

I make 92,000 a year. I live in the Dallas area so that is pretty good...

I've worked with virtualization going on...5 years now I think...I have a lot of certs in it...from an MCITP for Hyper V ( I got mine back in 08 and I don't even think Microsoft calls it that anymore, I think they went back to MCSE) to a VCP for VMWare, to a CCEE in citrix....

I got the job as purely a political move at my company. I was a "senior virtualization engineer" and at 29 I was by far the youngest guy on my team ( next youngest guy is 47 ). When they decided our group needed a project manager, they offered it to me by default, because, as my manager told me after i got the job "i felt that you would feel a certain way about not getting it with all the senior members of the team always asking you for advice on whatever they are working on" ( as a black man I felt that if I gave this job to one of these old white men you might try to sue us and you would have a good case, or you would quit and that would leave a black hole in our group ).

With all that said, what I ACTUALLY DO is virtualization implementation for a specific type of customer ( it required me to get a security clearance ). So even though I am a "manager" I do low level grunt work. The only reason why my salary is so high is because the client paid out the ass for my security clearance, and actually has it written into their contract that if I leave, then the company i work for will foot the bill to get whoever replaces me a security clearance. If I told you how much money they paid to get me a security clearance you would not believe it...I've seen the number on paper and several times and I don't believe it...

I got here because I used to work at another company years ago that had a very big virtualization project and no one wanted to touch it. So I took it, ran with it, and it just so happens that virtualization is one of those things most people don't really know, so companies pay out the ass for it, and the certification test are hard as fukk ( at least vmware test are ) so you have to legit know what you are doing to pass them.

I think I pulled off all A's and B's again. MGMT is the only grade officially in but this is how I think it's gonna turn out.

MGMT A-
Acct 302 B
Acct 315 B
Acct 353 B

You're killing your chances at employment with all of those "b's". Seriously. I'm joking or trolling here at all. You really need to re-think what your doing right now.

YOU WILL NOT GET A JOB. Even the smaller firms toss-out resumes with 3.4s and below now. GPA and leadership/work experience is all they care about.
