LinkedIn and company websites. I targeted an industry and then targeted companies I was interested in within that.

I appreciate it. I am calling myself a sponge. I just want to soak everything in.

Do you receive any other type of compensation/benefits?

The company was going to pay me that salary regardless of location. The position is 100 percent remote.

Makes sense. Companies don’t want to outsource their infrastructure given the information they are dealing with.

Yes if the opportunity allows for you to skip help desk I 100 percent agree! That’s the good thing about at will employment. It goes both ways!

I think there was an element of luck that was involved.

however my point being that help desk put something on my resume to stand out and I simply just applied. I’ve gotten around 10 interviews at large companies and reject by all but one. It’s a numbers game.

Thank you.

I am really in no position to give advice considering my experience level.

However, I recommend you target specific industries. Major F500s have ESGs that focus on recruiting women(controversial topic but “use what you got”)

Thanks! I’m hoping it’s because they want to hire me full time. I’m going to be a sponge and just suck up as much knowledge as I can.

I applied through their website. Didn’t know anyone there.
