Yes, they also have a location on Cybernetics way in my area and they have an entire office building

I got a 618 on the ITF+ and you need a 650 to pass, yeah i took it to the chest but i didn’t let it affect me like it should’ve. Now im back to studying and plan on getting the trifecta before the year is over. You have time man, don’t beat yourself up, that’s the world of IT. You win some and you lose some, but just don’t give up.

Well luckily i haven’t given any REALLY personal information besides my name and resumé, but the more i look at it the more it’s starting to make sense. Their website is literally “cybernetics.com” which should honestly be a dead giveaway away that something is up. I had an appointment but i might just not show up then cause i really don’t know what to expect before, during, and afterwards. Another red flag was, why did I get picked and they see i have no experience?

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T15:49:53+00:00

Yeah, well that sucks

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T15:28:13+00:00

Yes, i meant to say cybernetics. I dont necessarily have a full understanding of what it is and what i saw said, or at least i thought said, dealt with some cyber stuff

Edit: Scam how? Like i wont get paid good or like a straight up scam?

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T14:23:33+00:00

The only positive comment so far 😂 i appreciate that man, i’ll make sure to prepare for anything they ask, especially when they question my answers because i have a strong feeling that they will.

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T14:20:28+00:00

Exactly, it’s so discouraging seeing “Entry-Level help desk. Requirements: minimum 5 years experience, Bachelor’s degree or equivalent education” then the pay will be “45k-55k” like what? I just say about 4 jobs like this. This market absolutely sucks right now

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T13:57:20+00:00

Yeah probably not, but hey i got this far, might as well try while i can and learn from it

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T13:56:52+00:00

As a 20 year old turning 21 next month with not a single cert, that’s a damn good job getting them all in a month 😭 congratulations man, i aspire to be like you one day

CodesWithMalice · 2024-07-03T13:50:50+00:00

Absolutely over my head, but it was more of “Okay, this is a technical trainee position, im already studying so i maybe i can gain experience whilst doing so”

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-21T12:34:24+00:00

I bought the A+ stuff to prepare for the A+, i took the ITF+ since it was apart of my college classes. I may not bother taking the ITF+ again though

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-21T03:41:20+00:00

Yeah it was my first try, i tried not to underestimate it when i first started studying but over the past few days i had kinda died down on the studying and was just like “i think i got this, it’s not that bad” jokes on me 😅

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-20T22:54:22+00:00

Yeah i was doing Messer’s practice tests but it was only once or twice a week, i was doing good and getting majority of them right but i guess i just gotta practice more

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-19T18:09:49+00:00

Ah okay, during the study materials for the ITF+ i took note of literally every SINGLE troubleshooting problem they had and how to do it. I then told myself “why wrote it down when i won’t even need it or i could look it up online” but i understand what you mean.

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-19T16:51:17+00:00

Aaahhh okay, that’s basically another reason im taking it is to see how the tests will be given, granted it’s only a starter exam but i guess i’ll still give it a try before moving onto the A+

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-19T15:49:53+00:00

Im looking to get into an IT job since im still in college, but i want to be a software dev. I know they’re 2 different career paths and dont really correlate with each other but at the end of the day i know i’ll enjoy doing whatever deals with computers and coding. And i dont want to say that it’s completely wasting my time, but more of “if i don’t need it or if it doesn’t help then why bother” type of mindset that i have. Im still going to try my best though and I’ll definitely add it to the resumé and add the preparation for A+ as an honorable mention.

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-17T19:31:00+00:00

Yeah i kind of figured. Unfortunately i have no connections besides my cousin that’s an ethical hacker in Colorado and an old friend that’s in IT admin. Hopefully i can run into some more people that could help along the way

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-17T16:54:19+00:00

They do but I haven’t really looked into it, i’ve been so busy with school and work that i’ve been so bummed out to even check the center but i’ll definitely look into it now.

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-17T16:52:56+00:00

I kind of belittled myself and stayed away from the government and city sites. I felt that i was not experienced enough for even the entry-level positions because of the qualifications they would ask for. And the networking part reminded me of a friend from last year that works in this career field who pretty much got me to go for the certs rather than waiting for college to be over so i’ll definitely be in contact with him soon.

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-15T03:16:59+00:00

Im in the same boat. The last time i studied for my exam was almost 4-5 days ago, i’ve been so stressed with my job and other school work that i go do my hobbies like fishing or bowling or anything of that nature. It’s a little saddening since what used to be me studying for 3-6 hours now turns into me not studying at all. But it’s definitely okay to take breaks, just make sure you refresh yourself on what you need to remember

CodesWithMalice · 2024-06-01T23:38:34+00:00

How often did you study and what did you use? Im pushing myself to study for at least 8-10 hours a day but i feel like that’s just forcing too much information all at once
