It's a way to make money, so you go back to them to repair

@@cringetechnologies i can repair stuff but sometimes like the TPM issue is manufacturer defect. i have to send it because each device requires an authentic tpm. welp wasted e waste. its wild

I would do a firmware update just to see if that resolves the fault, then run the diagnostic report again and see if the problem persists and if it does order the replacement memory

Appreciate it! Congrats on the role glad the videos help

Appreciate it

The switches weren't connecting to the Internet hence the onsite reboot to connect them back to the internet

@@cringetechnologies ohh. Ok thats too bad. When a switch reaches that point I usually replace it with one that just works.

There are the phone company network switches; I was doing them a favor.

@@cringetechnologies Now it makes sense. Keep them happy to give you jobs in the future...

Thank you

Check out my "A Day in the Life of an IT Technician: How to get a Job as an IT Network Technician" video this covers my recommendations

Thank you! You too!

Good question! Yes, I work with special needs schools and provide work experience for more able students who are more than capable of learning basic troubleshooting skills.

@ I see thank you for answering my question. Because I’m a person who has difficulties in learning was worried that I cannot pursue. I’m also not good at scripting either

What if your manager hasn't got any IT background, a lot of IT jobs are solo roles

Same to you!

Thank you same to you too

Glad you enjoyed it!

Check out my other video, how to get a job in IT, I give advice on what to study and my approach to getting a job

Hi you can DM me on linkedin search for Cringe Technologies

Just quick question I would like to ask is, if IT technician apprentice fails his apprenticeship. Can he still get into IT in school?

Thank you very much. I got the certification at the time,

Thanks, yes that's the plan

Thanks for catching that! You're correct-network speeds are usually measured in Megabits and Gigabits, not Megabytes and Gigabytes. I’ll strive to be more precise in the future. Appreciate the feedback!

Thank you, much appreciated! Will do!

Some schools we look after also use Jamf, with LGFL Meraki is free so most schools opt with that MDM

😁

It's funny; I am so used to visiting sites and seeing patch cabling like this that I get shocked when I come across one that's so tidy.😁

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!

Glad you like the Channel

I am glad it help

Are you talking about the CompTIA certs?

@@MomoKemonoTTV if I got my Google support IT cert do you think I should still do A+?

Best of luck! any advice you need I am more then happy to help

Help who

😂

What would you like to know

@cringetechnologies so I am beginning and trying to understand what IT infrastructure does in what fields can they go into. Because I want to specialise in dyslexia to help people with technology. I use technology a lot to help me with my dyslexia day to day in my life

I want to start up my own business in the future specialist in become a life coach & dyslexia specialist

It sounds like you may need to focus more on software solutions that can help you deliver your courses more effectively. Consider looking for applications specifically designed to support course delivery, such as those that streamline content management, enhance student engagement, and facilitate assessments.

Thanks much appreciated,

How long were you in education for?

@@cringetechnologies 7 years from apprentice to senior technician + teaching the primary ICT curriculum 🤯

That's cool we offer teaching of the computing curriculum as well, what made you go to the private sector

@@cringetechnologies lack of growth/progression in the primary school was the main reason really! Everything had to be self taught with no other tech savvy colleagues. I'm at large CSP now and have learnt so many new systems, working practises and currently being put through SDI's service desk analyst course :)

Good luck with your interview! I'm glad you found the video useful. Let me know how it goes.

@@cringetechnologies Thank you. Will do.

@@cringetechnologies The interview wasn't a good experience. They were just focussed on why I was changing career, even after saying why, and a career gap rather than my skills. I stopped trying and safe to say I wasn't offered a job. However, last week I had another interview in which the interviewers provided a relaxed experience. They liked me and it was down to me and someone who had helpdesk experience, who got the job. However, they asked to keep my details to contact me for future roles in the coming year.

Sorry for the late reply. The first interview didn't seem serious and felt like they were just wasting your time, but I'm glad you had a better experience the second time around. Did any of the interviews provide you with tasks to test your knowledge?

@@cringetechnologies You don't have anything to apologise for. The second interview I was given a test with questions like what are the missing words/numbers in a sequence and IP addressing. They did also ask me a troubleshooting question about a wifi issue. I've had 3 more interviews since then and one 1st stage interview today. Good news, I've been offered an IT Service Desk and Support Officer role with a local authority from an interview I had on Friday. All the other interviews did ask me technical and troubleshooting questions.

Thanks for the visit

@@cringetechnologies no problem - love the content it shows a lot of insight into the school side of the i.t industry

Thanks. The migration from old to new systems is also challenging. For me, the best Windows OS was Windows XP

@@cringetechnologies Yeah i can imagine mate, is that because of limitations i gather. Ahh another on that says XP was the best lol(my tutor prefers that aswell) why is that? was it more user friendly or was it another reason.

Thanks for the comment. Yep, I tried both of your solutions. It was a strange issue-the existing HDMI cable worked on the old PC but not on my laptop, which I was using in the video. However, I mentioned that I tested it on an older laptop, and it worked fine. The red spots on the IWB were related to the old PC. Once I replaced it, everything worked fine. I also figured out why my new laptop wasn't mirroring-I had to change the resolution on the IWB.

Glad you enjoyed it

You will be surprised how much Server OS, Cal and office Licenses are in comparison 🙃

Just build up your knowledge, create network environments at home or virtually so when you go for job interviews you can show your skills .

@@cringetechnologies i finished cisco netacad course for ccna and i'm taking the exam next month. That is not the issue, but getting the first job AND getting paid at the same time 😉 btw i live in Barcelona, just in case anyone knows a company that picks people without real experience👍🏻

​@@ricardovisconti5681 When I hire an engineer, I don't just take their experience at face value. I always test their knowledge and understanding. I have interviewed many people with supposedly a lot of field experience, but when I put them to the test, their knowledge wasn't strong enough, so I didn't hire them.

​@@cringetechnologies that is great! Thanks for the time you take in replying my messages. Could you give a few examples of how you would test networking knowleadge for a entry level postion? That would be awesome to know!! Thanks again

Thank you much appreciated and good luck with your A+

That was my frustration with this process, because the recruitment agent said he new his stuff🙈

My computer is not working, AHH user error 😭, good luck with you courses it will pay off in the end , thanks for the comment
