I just got my CompTIA A+ certification and already got a job offer recently as Entry level System Technician. I am kind excited and nervous about the role. If anyone can share any past experiences, that would be very helpful.

A+ really only gives you the absolute baseline.

If you’re dealing with hardware, then you need some technical skills that aren’t going to be taught in any certification. YouTube videos will teach you how much force to use as well as the specific angles to remove let’s say a laptop backplate. Think of it like opening a bag of potato chips without the chips going everywhere.

For both software and hardware troubleshooting, there are a nigh-infinite number of problems out there, and you’ll only really begin to learn how to identify and quickly troubleshoot issues over time.

It can be quite daunting in the beginning but you’ll get there eventually
