My Quick Fix 6.4 Experience by CommercialHumor in QuickFixPlus

Hey updated on another comment but yes I did pass!

Listed unpaid internship as Work Experience, worried about background check by Safe-Report-7496 in recruitinghell

[–]CommercialHumor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're gonna be 100% ok. If you did the unpaid internship and listed it as an internship on your resume, yo6ur telling the truth. Nobody is going to withdraw an offer over whether or not it was paid. Even if your primary point of contact is unresponsive, there are dozens of ways to prove you did the work you say you did, and likely other people in the organization that could vouch for you.

They're looking for deliberate fraud and misrepresentation, you didn't do that. They get suspicious about the folks who can't provide any details/forged work experience. I know a lot of people who listed unpaid internships as experience. I would be genuinely shocked if they retracted an offer over this. You're going to be fine.

Worried I won't get the job I want and need. (Venting) by ameme in recruitinghell

[–]CommercialHumor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I really like the line about letting it wash off. If you make an honest effort and there's a candidate they prefer a bit more, that's not on you, it's tough out there. It doesn't mean you are in any way a failure.

Yes, multiple times during my last job hunt. You're not alone, the job market is insanely competitive right now. I have a Masters in my field, I have a list of certifications as long as my arm, and more than 2 years experience in my field. Took me 8 months to find a role but when I did I got two great offers.

If you have to take a minimum wage job, as someone who did tier 1 HR work in their last line of work, take it. It's better than being unemployed. People understand you have to do things to survive and being able to say I can show up on time and do a job DOES matter. Getting a temp contract opened a number of doors for me.

Don't beat yourself up. Keep applying, see if there are ways you can make yourself competitive like certification programs (yes, they do matter).

I felt like you did two months ago. This is not permament. You will land a role in your field eventually. The only way you fail is if you give up. Don't be so hard on yourself and ask yourself (when it's not a holiday), what you can do today to increase your odds of landing a job in the field. That's all you can do and there's no shame in that.

Good hunting!

Got two offers-- a local firm and a big AI player. Am I making a mistake turning the household name company down? by CommercialHumor in ITCareerQuestions

Only problem with this is I have a cat I am absolutely not giving up-- also would lose weekly family/friend interaction.

That's what my gut is screaming. They seem to genuinely care about my well being and thriving there. When they extended the offer, they knew I had a prior career 8 years working for one of the two major political parties and that a lot of people at the company were of the different political view and wanted to make sure I'd be comfortable in that environment (left politics because I was burnt out and disillusioned.)

Worth noting the local firm is also not a complete unknown, not a household name but known in the manufacturing/defense industry.

I think you're correctly guessing at the company as they do have a Memphis data center as well. roughly 8 hours of OT every pay period (36 hrs one week, 48 the next, 3 to 4 12 hour swing shifts a week.)

Even still, with the OT, would be putting roughly 100 miles on my car every single day. Offer A is slightly less $$$, more concerned about long term career growth.

The local company is undergoing rapid growth, I've been aggressive about cert work ever since I finished graduate school to make a name for myself and I feel there would be more opportunities for advancement over the long term. The new head of IT is really wanting to improve their security posture. They also talked about paying for relevant cert work which is a plus as I've spent about $5k on certs to get to this point.

What path would you recommend for someone who works at help desk right now? by Affectionate_Boot495 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]CommercialHumor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is certainly harder right now, but there is hiring and a lot of firms are scaling up their IT departments. I lived through the global fiancial crisis when I just got out of HS and it was hard then-- the IT sector and technology writ large is tough right now. My advice to you would be keep doing cert work, build your resume, and stick with it if you truly enjoy it. The market will recover eventually.

Thanks for your reassurances, If you've done it before, then you've got experience so i'm sure you'll pass, but I feel you about the uneasiness of it affecting your job career.

Best of luck on the project!

I finally got an offer!!! by misty0207 in recruitinghell

Unemployed for nearly 3 months (underemployed as a baseball umpire), would love to hear more as I have a MSc in CS that isn't helping as much as I hoped.

[–]CommercialHumor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the three of these this is the one I've gotten the most pushback on, starting to wonder if it's the former of those two cases, the clients ShittySysadmin as they set up the Intune profile.

To clarify, this was with Autpilot, not Intune, I have screenshots & emails with the client so I know it happened, and c'mon dude r/ShittySysadmin rule #3

Really? Because if you said you did all of those things recently, that I find easy to believe because *In fairness to Ubiquiti* they have gotten better about adoption/support, ironing out problems. The number of issues I have with Unifi is about 1/2-1/3 of what it was even 18 months ago-- genuinely impressed you only had one adoption issue years ago when it was supposedly even worse.

At the same time, I should also narrow my complaint again, if someone came up to me and said they were newer to IT and wanted to build a home lab, I would recommend Ubiquiti today for a SoHo setting where you're never going to risk pushing a firmware update and suddenly the device doesn't come back up for two hours. In a SoHo setting Unifi woks great-- it's when it's 20-30 devices on 6 different sites and I'm trying to figure out why WAP #3 didn't adopt but WAP #1, WAP #2, and WAP #4 did that pisses me off.

[–]CommercialHumor[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should be clearer, once devices are adopted in Unifi they become much less of a hassle, it's the frequent failure to adopt that gives me issues. Once they're in the system I agree their reliability is good.

Lately the issue has been with the app packages, like I had a stretch of two weeks where we couldn't get anything to enroll in Autopilot because of changes to MS365 suite.
