The Official IT Thread

[King Erauno]

yo long..where you gettin these emails from? you got any tech job sites you wanna share?i've been looking at the usual...careerbuilder...dice...monster..etc

 

[longmeat]

I have my information on dice, monster, CB, and corp-corp.com.

Passing my CISSP opened up a whole new lane for the kid. After i get my CCIE shit will provably be even more crazier. The trick is to have the type of experience that's in demand. PKI, RBAC, multi factor authentication, policy writing/governance, and knowing how to created and execute a security strategy. That's more important than saying i know how to configure an ASA or checkpoint appliance.

Glad this thread still up. Mane as of not even I week or two at the most. I was working the regular Help Desk for the service members over here. Welp,.... Two technicians who were ADPE got fired basically cause they couldn't pass a piss test. So now since our team was at 4 ADPE techs was now down to only two. So they walked right over to the HD and picked.... It was three of us over at ADPE. Me, an old white lady who nags the crap out of everybody, and another dude. The other dude is actually smart. Can't hate on dude, but sometimes he act like he better than others. He know his stuff. So it was the other white lady and she nags, nags, nags, nags and argues til its not even funny (She nagged me cause I put "Hi" in my emails and when customers came into the HD area she also nagged me when I addressed the service members to the greeting of "This is the HD"). So them technicians chose me. I guess cause other dude fit into the HD perfectly and they wasn't gonna get the nagging lady and if the bosses threw her over there, then the ADPE techs said they was gonna quit. So as of right now, I am ADPE which means I am taking the systems apart, fixing them, riding around the base and meeting/greeting customers. Its difficult and I don't even care for a raise right now even though I could get one. Lord willing, I'll stick w/ this side for a year or two and it's a wrap from there. I'll be able to work ADPE over in Kuwait, Germany, China, etc.. or wherever I want w/ the actual hands on training.

Nobody but The Lord blessed me w/ that one......

Oh aight, my bad then fam. Whatever book you bought, should have come with some test questions on the CD. If not, you could use probably find a transcenders exam pack on a torrent site pretty easily.

Congrats man. Now that you in the door, make sure you do everything you can to learn everything you can. Just because you started out not having to do help desk, doesn't mean you won't still catch the L train. Whatever route you decide to go, learn as much as you can and get in on as many extra projects as they'll allow you to. The faster you move from your first position to something better, the faster you're career will shoot up.
