Just got my Help Desk job offer Christmas Eve. HR called me with the official offer to have good new to break to the family. They didn’t tell me it was going to be a hybrid work from home schedule. Very good gig. Blessed
I recently graduated with a degree in IT and security, and my advice to people going to college is to ask questions and build relationships with your professors. Also, try and get at least 1 or 2 internships, it will make your life much easier once you graduate. This is advice i wished i would have taken myself.
That sounds like work... rather, tell them you had "three or four of them big white computers from back in the day in the basement" when you were a kid. Apparently that is a qualification for IT helpdesk. 😂
I interviewed for a Cloud Engineer role and was unfortunately under qualified but they liked my attitude and energy! My interviewers set me up with an IT Specialist interview next week, wish me luck! Thanks for this video, super helpful and to the point! Disclaimer: This will be my first job in IT, I’ve have a background in banking and medicine.
I love working with older people too 😊 I have my first IT interview tomorrow morning and I am so nervous! But I’m glad I came across your video! Much love! 🤙🏽✊🏽
Thank you! I haven't had an IT job but been in college a couple years and have a networking specialist associate so far. I'm preparing for at least a helpdesk role sometime soon, and the interview process has been scaring me. These example questions are far less scary than I thought. Def need to brush up but I recognize the process for a lot of the questions
My husband and I have been studying the COMPTIA A+ together and we found your channel while looking up Help Desk stuff. Your videos are great, and I love your personality. He has an interview for a Help Desk position soon, and I'm going to have him watch this. 😀
@@salmarob25 A+ is a joke. You don't need it for IT. Some places might want you to get it. Its a complete waste of time for the people I've known who've taken it.
Congratulations on starting your tech transition! & Yes I’m doing this for the district 🚀💯🤣 I love when my people can tell we come from the same City cloth
Came across this getting ready for an interview I got later today which is for a spot in DC funny enough, its dope to see people like me in these spaces.
I’m possibly will be starting IT help desk the beginning of the year however I have no IT help desk experience so they are looking to train me for for the position Sis I appreciate the videos and know GOD has much more in-store for your life

I have an interview tomorrow and was very nervous. Thank you for making this video! I know it was probably quick to make but you are helping so many people by putting it online. I felt more confident after hearing what you said they might ask, there wasn't much I had to worry about!

I have an interview in 2 days ive been brushing up on server install and maintainance, mysql, but these questions and the forwarning of a panel interview are saving grace i didnt even think it might be a panel interview. Thank you for the tips and practice questions wink ❤️❤️ Edit: new phone+fat thumbs= horrible spelling lol
It has, im so sorry i kept mesning to circle back but have so busy😊, i got the job that interview was cake. 😁❤️, im part of the help desk crew at the hospital here, currently ive been training on 2nd shift, 2pm to 1030pm soon ill be on 3rd shift 1030pm to 7am, eventually ill be learning how the on call work by my self 7am sat to 7am mon...so far with the exception of password resets and account unlocks its like working as a repair agent for geek squad again so not really different except for learning the new software systems. lots of opertunity for advancment and branching out with in IT, networking, programing, even administration, travel pc tech (they go to our networked hospitals in surrounding counties) the hospital will even reimburse for comptia a+ and other certifications. This video was extremely helpful and made all this possible❤️❤️
I appreciate the I.T content. Have you consider making an update "Day in the Life of an I.T Support " video ? You can make those type of videos 3 or 4 times a year and it will get views because we understand thing changes in TECH.. Maybe also talk about your current workload ......is the workload slower during (the end of the year).. Just sharing some ideas. Salute
Yes , I have over 3 day in the life videos . Definitely will talk about the work load, it gets light around this time of the year. Thanks for watching!
I have a service desk interview tomorrow. The first interview I had was couple months ago and didn’t get the job. Watching your videos calm me down cause I be feelin like I’m not competent enough to get into tech
I know the feeling. When I interviews for my IT tech position almost 5 years at ago at a school district, it was a 4 person panel. I was not expecting that and it was nerve wracking. Luckily, all the interviewers were very nice and made the experience more comfortable. I think you'll be fine.
@@Unknown-je2fn My interview consisted of 10 questions I believe. Each interviewer would take turns asking questions. I don't remember them except for 1 which stood out to me. It was a list of 4 scenarios. I had to rank in what order I would attend to each scenario and why. I don't recall the full details, but it went something like: Consider the following 4 scenarios. Rank each scenario based on priority and why: 1. The school principal is having trouble printing. 2. The school secretary is getting an alert that her computer has a virus. 3. A student can't find his work that he knows he has saved. 4. A teacher is having trouble taking attendance on the SIS (Student Information System). In short, I answered: 2, 3, 4, 1 2. Virus problems (or suspected virus problems) are a high priority since they can affect not only the computer but they can propagate across the network. These support tickets take precedence any other support ticket. 3. I know as a student it can be very frustrating when you know you did your work but can't find it. Its possible the student saved it in the wrong location and didn't realize it or maybe he deleted it on accident. We can usually try to recover deleted files or figure out where they may have saved to. 1. Even though the school principal is an important person and we usually like to make sure they're attended quickly, printing is not that important in the overall scheme of things. If the document she needs to print is important, she can send it to a secretary or assistant principal and they can print it off for her in the mean time. I will eventually work with her to figure out what's going on, but there are objectively more important things to work on. 4. From what I recall as a student at that same district, I know teachers can take roll after class is over or they can call the front office and just tell the secretary which students were absent. In some instances, I've even seen teachers just note which students were absent on a piece of paper and either take it to the front office or have a student take it. This is the lowest priority ticket to work on as it is not critical in the overall scheme of things. I know this was long , but hopefully it was informative. Every place has different interview processes. But hopefully it gives you an idea of what to expect. And if they ask you if you have any questions regarding the interview or the job, ask something. That makes it appear that you're genuinely interested in the job. Good luck!
Can you make a video of past situations you've had when somethings came up and you had no idea what to do. Unless you have already made one. Did you send it to L2 after doing your research? That is what I see myself doing once I land a job. Would be nice to see what people do that are alrdy in the game. Thanks!
what if you never work a tech job would it be valid to cap on that resume a lil bit to cause im having no luck at all, i got comptia a plus and ccna. but i never worked a help desk role ive done some labs on AD using oracle VM. im really trying to change careers and shit its damn near impossible
Correct , jazz that resume up to match whatever job your going for . I actually have a video on how to do it all ruclips.net/video/kb8sJUySjlw/видео.html&feature=shares
I have an interview tomorrow, did you get a lot of situational questions? Ex: “a customer calls saying their computer won’t turn on, what do you do?” What kind of question like that should I expect?
Yeah next time I apply for an IT job, I'll tell them I had "three or four of them big white computers from back in the day in the basement" when I was a kid, surely I will get the job.
