Recently received A+ and Network + certs and will be starting my first position as an helpdesk technician soon . I decided at the beginning of this year I wanted to do IT as a career
Me too tommy, though I've decided to use the ticket to work program offered by ssi since I'm on ssi for disability. Maybe they're employment network will give me a better chance at finding a job. Good luck with your search.
@@Papicodone I got it my man!!! God hooked your boy up and I have been enjoyin it very much. Been dope to finally get in the IT industry and start working my way up. I also have been intentional about networking while I am there and several of the guys in sysadmin and networking already know me well.
Here in the EU we have the ISCO - International Standard Classification of Occupations, which basically gives a code/index for every occupation. Maybe in the US you have something similar. You should check it out. And if you do have something similar, then everybody should be very careful what code/index they were assigned, because that is the official name of your job and you need to know that you are gaining experience in the right job.
I can really relate to what you said about IT position being very confusing. And thanks for your videos, it is always a pleasure watching your them and adding more IT knowledge to what i know. MERCI BEAUCOUP
Those people who are thinking he is lying about job titles making no sense, I have a great example which proves what he says, for immigration when I have to search for the appropriate job, more than the title the work is taken into consideration.. this is because they know the work is not my the title but by the job responsibilities instead ..
I didn't realize people thought I was lying about the job titles. It only takes a few minutes for someone to go out and do a job search to figure it out on their own, lol.
Project Managers, Technical Project Managers, Business Analyst, IT Trainer, Project Engineers, End User Computer (EUC) Engineer / Specialist and like you said the list goes on 🙃
I just watched a video of yours... "it jobs...blabla" from like 2015. FREAKING KUDOS on going after YT and improving your production and presentation skills. Good stuff man.
Do you have any advice for someone wanting to get into the hardware part of IT? is it worth pursuing? Are there any specific certifications that help you get a job in that field?
So I only got to work an IT position for a little under half a year and I absolutely loved it. I know how to build PCs, install OS systems, repair and I’ve been relatively good at diagnosing and troubleshooting for people running into any sort of issues. I’ve been looking for a job for me that fits my skills and could give me a great career. I don’t have any certifications except for ones I have for Adobe and Microsoft programs. What is an area that would really best fit me? I don’t know where to start.
I have a passion for i.t. but I have went to quite a few entry level i.t. interviews I have 3 yrs call center and customer service exp but I can't work for 12.15 an hr maybe I need to get certified but I just took a job at Walmart overnight janitorial paying 16.50 hr there's a real problem with pay in the i.t. industry for entry level jobs
Yeah the plan is to get your foot in and try move up asap, being a janitor might be fine initially with money, but is very limiting for future progression.
I’ve always been around computers and I feel like I have a good grasp but I am very nervous to actually look for an entry level job. Still going to school but I hope to one day make it a career.
This is really confusing.. What if the position you see looks correct but the JD was so wrong? Like Network Engineer position with 8years of experience and CCIE knowledge for Service Provider? BTW this happens to me as a CCNA that they recruiter thought it's all the same certs but still the experience is like having a whole IT department haha
It's totally confusing. Without reading the job description you will pretty much have no idea what you're getting yourself into. It's extremely important to read the job descriptions.
You are awesome and great because you tell things that you know. Network system administrator vs network and computer system administrator vs database administrator vs cloud system administrator vs cyber security vs system administrator Which is good and high paying job in 2031 above? please tell me.
And we wait for the computer science people commenting about being the master race. Another point is don't be discouraged if you can't do university level comp sci. Most universities tech IT and Comp Sci in the same building and offer a very similar cyber sec or web dev track that give the same internships
Who can give me help?? I’m a 19 year old in the UK, England. I passed gcse’s and passed my BTEC It corse. However my year got cut short due to COVID. I’m not sure what field of IT i want to start in. I’m not familiar with any coding as well which makes it very hard. I did mess around with Python in school but don’t remember it.
How in the WORLD does one choose which direction they would like to go.. I'm pretty positive I want to go a IT/Coding type career but this is confusing lol
where would you start if you would like to get into IT , but absolutely 0 idea about it . When I say 0 , meaning I can point to the laptop and desktop and cellphone 😅 any advice is appreciated
thank you, for systems administrator, would that mean that I would be in charge of Windows Server roles placed onto vms, the host to host vpn connections, the routers and switches, and webhosting too? I recently had an interview for a sys admin position and I got a lot of server questions along with citrix, vpns, and a few things that honestly went over my head. I have my CompTIA A+, Server+, Network+ and a few network cabling certs but this would be my first sys admin level job if I get it. Which is a better Security cert CompTIA Security+ or Certified Ethical Hacker?
Every job and job description is going to be completely different from one another. It's hard to say. If you want to get into ethical hacking then a CEH is great, but if you're just looking to beef up your overall security knowledge then SEC+ is a great starting point.
@@Itcareerquestions ty so much for answering. I was working a Dell PowerEdge R720 Server today in my class lab and I messed up and let the main server os update instead of just my VMs. This very expensive rack server got stuck in configuring memory at startup for over 24 hours and would not enter bios or anything, I was so nervous if I had done that on the job. After clearing the NVRAM bridge chip between the power supplies and the ram memory it still did not fix it but it allowed me to enter the bios enough to hit F10 and do a firmware update to 2.7 which fixed it. I am so happy that it worked. I like your videos man and appreciate all the knowledge you have helped us with to guide us on our journey to an exciting (sometimes stressful) field of IT.
Can I work as a Systems Administrator or Security Consultant after passing the Security + exam?? I have a bachelors degree in Public Health and a certification in Oracle 11G.
i was looking at SalesForce Administrator certification, can you do a video on this? I have no IT technical background , and even google support certification would bore me to death... i watched a couple videos on salesforce, and that is something i can relate... as an entry level.- much thanks!
My question is wtf does all this mean like what do they do on a day to day basis and shit I’m more visual I’d have to see and have it explained to me what they do in that role these job titles and shit aren’t really self explanatory like a plumber or firefighter which anyone knows
Hey, can anyone advice? I completed high school and right now I am studying Computer system technician-networking diploma(2 yrs )so I am thinking to convert that in 3 yr diploma ? So is advance diploma of 3 years is good to get job?or should I go for bachelor's?
I am going to start level 1 IT in September but my friend says you can’t get any job in IT until you don’t have any experience. Is it true plss tellll meeeeeee
Does anyone know where to get training for the Comp TIA CV0 003 beta training ? it was only 50 BUX so i sighned up. However nowhere to get dumps or anything
@@danielxbox28 im not trying to be rude i just wanted to know since the requirements fir the exam say you need 2 years of system admin or network admin. Im not a system admin
In my opinion those jobs that are asking for a degree either are looking for potential overall aptitude or the job itself is more senior in nature. However, not every degree is useful, something like IT or Business Management would be better. But a degree can be offset by industry qualifications or experience. Like Zach mentioned, even experience from another industry could be transferred. If you're a complete beginner try to demonstrate what you've done personally. Keep a record of all the training you have done, show them online profiles in Microsoft or other etc if required.
"more responsibilities, more money, and the Level 1 person is going to go to the senior person with any issues..." My associate tech, with less experience, and less seniority, makes substantially more than I do.
Can't wait to hear from the guests in the Cyber Security realm to hear their experiences and entry tips.
Me too! It will be fun.
Recently received A+ and Network + certs and will be starting my first position as an helpdesk technician soon . I decided at the beginning of this year I wanted to do IT as a career

Tips to get started for complete beginners?

HOWS IT GOING ??? so far
submitted a couple help desk applications yesterday, hoping I finally get my feet wet in the IT industry!
Good luck!!!

Do you have any advice for someone wanting to get into the hardware part of IT? is it worth pursuing? Are there any specific certifications that help you get a job in that field?
CompTIA A+ or Cisco IT Essentials is a good place to start. You could then maybe look at moving into networking..
@@ittaster had a bunch of those certifications A+, N+, S+ and CISCO associate but cldnt get a job, now studying Bsc Comp Science
@@tinashemoyo You have some good certs there! Good luck with the computer science course and I hope you have success landing a job👍

Thank you! It definitely can be a foot in the door but what @Ne Ws said is true as well.
