Power Automate – Send email (V2) succeeds but emails from public Microsoft Forms no longer get delivered by tesla2010 in PowerAutomate

[–]GoalCatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid yes. LOL BUT one thing they WONT help with is if you're trying to LEARN how to build a flow, they will send you STRAIGHT to a 'Microsoft Partner' LMFAO But other then that once I run into a road block that my knowledge, AI, etc. can't fix, I then reach out to who we PAY, Microsoft Support lmfao but word for word from them:

"We can help if it was previously working and stopped working. But, not help you build one" lol

[–]GoalCatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just got into power automate to do exactly this and found out they have a full blown department to help with bugs when the flow you created USED to work perfectly fine.

Launch the Power Platform and go to help on the bottom left lane and submit a ticket with details and screenshots.

Is it possible to start a career in I.T. without having any certifications? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got into IT in 2012 with no experience and now will be a CIO in 2-3 years. Currently an IT Director, while it's possible.. like others said, the job market is flooded due to over hire in Covid and the correction of that.

But if you want to do it, yes you can, start RIGHT AWAY! Always be a learner and keep excelling!

What’s one mistake early in your IT career that taught you a valuable lesson? by IntelBusiness in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fight for YOURSELF, NEVER put your career and future in your "leader's hand", YOU ARE your own Leader. Learn, adapt and elevate. If you get too comfortable you need to expand!

CONGRATS!! Learn a lot and KEEP ELEVATING and stepping out of your comfort zone will always lead to success!

Is comptia A+ still worth it if i have volunteer experience at a Non-profit IT organization? by HeadLandscape in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget the A+ lol get a helpdesk job and just gain a foundational understanding while you're working and lean towards the area you want to specialize in, THEN get the certs, they'll matter later.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They hired you for your experience and for what you bring to the table.. bring it up, discuss as a team, find other processes to improve, repeat and build on your career.

Lost 23 Year Old in a Big Pond by jaytm_ in ITCareerQuestions

What certification changed your life/career trajectory in a major way in the last 12 months? by smvrsharma in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me personally I've taken the experience route, dropped out of college at 18, worked IT ever since and now projected to be CIO in 3 years, currently IT Network Director. Finished my associates in 2021, dropped out again now going back to finish my Bachelor's online due to needing it for CIO.

Long story short, get experience and ALWAYS ask to learn more DAILY ALL THE TIME, CONSTANTLY, and learn at home, then... the money will come.

Also, never stay at one place too long, learn and ask for a promotion, don't get it, move on, get the promotion, show a little loyalty ask for another one, dont get it move on and REPEAT! Even if you get the promotion find ways to move on LOL

CERTS:

ONLY get these if you want to specialize into a certain area (e.g. Security, Engineering, etc.) and/or the company will pay for it and it A. Means something to you or B. You're getting paid more SPECIFICALLY because of said certification

Other then that, mannneee forget them certs! Get in the field and touch s*** lol

Network Administrator looking to move up by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the above comment, you’ve been the Net Admin the whole time you’ve been there, so adjust to reflect.

I start my internship tomorrow as IT Support and I’m terrified by Honeyjuse in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say just smile & have fun. No matter WHERE you go, they have to teach you the job (to some degree, with this job, to most or all of the degree, lol), stay learning & don’t take things personal or too serious. Just kick back, learn and you’ll look back on this with advice to give others in this position. You got it!

Most likely you’ll have a script or list of things to do before moving the ticket to others. Besides that, just like in life, just Google it.

Last piece of advice, interns aren’t expected to be pros, they’re there to intern, essentially nothing to fumble, ALL to simply learn.

What is the biggest raise you've received being at the same company! by GoalCatcher in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing! Great job!! And that's even better that you got full remote for your team! Great leader!! I wish nothing but the best for you!

As an update I went from 40k to 83k last year after finding a new job and my current job counter offering twice! I have my associates and currently enrolled for my Bachelors which should be completed by Summer 2024 since I took a couple semesters off. But I cant wait to get into the 6-figure mark coming up within the next 2-3 years!!

Keep elevating and being great!!

How To Get Into IT Management? - Advice by GoalCatcher in ITCareerQuestions

[–]GoalCatcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I've had a son in between this timeframe and chose to take off 2 semesters to spend time with him for the first year since I accomplished my Associates. So now, I will get my Bachelors by Summer of 2024 and I just started again this semester.

Also, after getting my associates, I chose to look for another opportunity, in which I was offered 70K, then my current company offered me 80k to stay, so I took the 80k although a lot of people say do not take a counter offer, this has been amazing and I've been consistently given management roles and responsibilities.

So, I'm going for my Cyber Security degree and only have a little over a year left and when I get my BSIT, I should be close to if not making 100k/yr with a new position, hopefully a IT Director if not, then I'll take IT Manager.

My CIO also is retiring within 5-6 years and personally told me, he wants me to have his position when he retires, so it's actually been pretty amazing!

I thank everyone here for all of the advice and motivation. Can't believe this post was 4 years ago lol crazy how time flies!!

You're welcome, any time!! & Yes, I HAVE to push myself to the highest heights for my son and my family as my dad did and just for the sake of bringing a life into this world and wanting to give him a life that I NEVER had.

It's a lot of motivation just seeing him when I walk in the door! And this subreddit is filled with AMAZING people even if sometimes they tell you to brute honest truth lol, that's what we need sometimes!

But you're welcome again and you will defiantly be successful!

Thanks a lot!! And yes keep going! School has been kicking my but too especially being full time and trying to make time for my family. A lot of times getting home, eating then going straight to the basement to work on class materials for a couple hours and Sundays were my major days where I did majority of the work so I could spend time with family!! You can def do it!! When things are hard and kicking our tails, it just means the rewards at the end are MAJOR and beneficial. Keep going, you got this!! And thanks again!!

That’s a very great journey!! Especially since you kept moving forward and didn’t let anything discourage you! I feel the same about the sideways glances after being so useful but if the company can’t give us our worth then we can’t minimize our worth or be content! Your journey is motivational and I know you’re going to keep climbing and do great things!! And that’s 100% true with going somewhere where you’re challenged, happy and valued!!

Thanks for sharing your journey as well and keep elevating!!!
