  • In todays video I discuss what you can expect when you go into your first new job when you are working in I.T. This also applies to you if you are simply starting a new I.T. job after working in the field for a period of time.
    Being nervous on the first day comes with any job. Let me walk you through a few things to keep your nerves at bay a little bit.

    Really needed this, graduated from tech school at 34 and now starting my first I.T. working for the State of Texas on Thursday. I'm extremely excited but also nervous after being in retail/management for 15 years.

    This is a great advice, Bro. And it does not apply just to IT Jobs, or to Jobs at all, when you face a new and unknown experience you always get nervous because you are uncertain about the results of such experience. And when you realice you are making a mistake, you tend to get out of your comfort zone and you end boycotting yourself. When you arrive to a new environment you need to set a new attitud of accepting all the new information, accepting the way people do things there, even when they do not seem to be right, you MUST LEAVE the over comfidence, this is what causes all the mistakes, and what causes people to hate you or have a wrong first impression of you. And then once you are adapted to the new environment, then you can try to adapt it to yourself, but only when you know how and when to do things in your own way. Well, at least that's what I have learned so far, maybe I'm wrong. xD

      @@mahammad Bro you will not beleive what happened to me! On the fourth week, the company laid me off for a very, very, stupid reason. Literally because the company owner was "bothered by my actions" for taking too many pictures of the National Day Party at the company, when it was my maneger and HR that both said they want pictures to be taken!
      The actual job was a joke for the most part! CEO calls and says his internet is not working, I come and I just see that the ethernet cable is not plugged. Or someone tells me their screen is not working, I come and I press on the power button for the screen then it works! And they tell me usually they just have to move the mouse then it works. Total joke! Other tasks I did was gathering all the company's IT assets data (Serial numbers, Brand, OS, Windows activation status). I worked a bit an Active Directory and c-panel.
      3 weeks after leaving the company I worked at Hilton as a receptionist for about 2 months, and their package was a bit better!
      On Janaury this year, I recieved an offer from an international IT company that provides IT Services for the Oil & Gas sector in the Middle East, and they are paying me DOUBLE what the first company paid me.
