>get A+ cert
>have customer service experience
>have call center experience
>still cant get any fucking entry level IT jobs like help desk or basic tech support
what the FUCK am i doing wrong?!
Get A+ cert
Office 365 killed alot of IT support jobs.
Just put Office 365 and SharePoint on your CV and youll be good.
Are you in a suburban area? I live in northwest indiana and couldnt find jack dick with two years of formal helpdesk experience. I expanded my search to the nearest big city (chicago) and my career had rocketed since.
If it weren't for the willingness to bite the bullet and take a shitty commute to kick start my career, I'd be slinging boxes at Family Dollar. I don't even have a HS diploma/degree, I just kept hitting recruiters looking for small short term contracted gigs in the city until my experience carried me to much better things.
i live about 30 minutes away from the city, most of the jobs i have applied for are in the city. i guess i gotta try harder
It's not you, I have an A+ and (expired) CCNA, and I'm not even good enough for fucking GEEK SQUAD, let alone Staples' ripoff. it's probably because entry-level means "we don't want anyone who can handle these positions with ease for a steady paycheck", at least that's what the ex-Best Buy told me when I was trying to find out why two years worth of applications went nowhere
>entry level
>sorry user you don't have enough experience
>so many rejection letters I started their own folder in my email account
>get 127 rejections
>finally land interview
>get told interview is a formality and the role has already been filled by an internal candidate
>50ish more rejections and a few months later
>finally land a contract job
>next job is easier to find because I have experience now
>job after that is easier
It'll get better user. As long as you keep trying, the only thing you can do is succeed. It only takes one yes. You can do it! Pic related.
>spend last few months looking to get a job as an IT support monkey
>first interview goes kind ehhh, no call back
>second is with a public school, interview goes great and they started calling my references
is it finally happening? I can escape the supermarket ive been stuck in for the last few years? Speaking of how is it working as an IT goon for a public school system? Its in a good town in a blue state.
Yes, the problem is you don't have 10+ years experience with office 2019
Please do the needful.
>not having a home lab
>not having a net+
>not having a list of personal projects
>not knowing some med-level guy at the company who can hook you up with an interview and push your resume and influence the hiring manager that he works with to pick you
You gotta call in a few favors man.
You will finally learn why republicans are against funding them.
I worked for public department for a while and they would give out a fully licensed adobe suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro DC, etc.), to every single person that would come in and say that they want to edit PDFs. Enormous waste of money and software since the user really just needed to watch a few YouTube videos on Microsoft Word.
I know adobe probably has cheap licensing for .gov domains, but there’s no way it still made sense to give everything to any idiot that asked for any single capability.
