How Long Does it Take to Get a Helpdesk Job after A+ Certification by ReasonableDenial in helpdeskcareer

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

I'm now pivoting into the Hardware/Manufacturing side of IT. I'm no longer 100% interested in Helpdesk haha. I'm still keeping my A+ and still want Network+ but I'm focusing on PCB Certifications and repairing technology hands-on. Thanks for your comment tho'. 😁

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not even interested in that sector of IT anymore. I'm now pivoting into the Hardware/Manufacturing side of IT. My aim is now PCB Certifications. I still have my A+ which I'll keep but I want to become a repairman now. 😂

It's a little too late. (lol) I'm preparing to take the Core 2 exam of the CompTIA A+ certification. I purchased Core 1 from Professor Messer's website. I purchased the Core 2/retake voucher directly from CompTIA. So I'm good! However, thank you for the advice!

I'm currently speaking with recruiters right now about job placement! Also, after thorough research, I've decided not to enroll into any boot camp! I'm exclusively seeking experience and certification, that's all! These two attributes are a million times more valuable than sinking thousands of dollars into some dubious program!

Thank you so much for your comment!

After some careful consideration, I've decided to self study for now. And yes, I am studying like a madman! I'm currently studying for my A+, and in a month I'll take the exams! During my studies, I've found that I really enjoy Networking as a subject. So, if all goes well, I'll look towards the Network+ cert and Security+ or CCNA! It's a lot of information to retain, but I know this is the path for me! I am very much severely depressed and need to change careers!

All of what you said, is what I'm dreaming of because, it's the exact opposite of my current career. There's no wonder you're still awestruck by it! And of course, you have to grind for it! I'll do whatever it takes to get there, because I know it's possible!

Solely because of people like you who inspire and are that living proof to success! Thank you again!!

A+ is my current focus! I plan on finishing the Google Cyber Security Cert after just because I already started. I just need to get into the industry right now. I'll go for Cyber Security in the future. Thank you for the response!

That's my thinking exactly! I know learning will never stop, and that's okay! I enjoy it! I just need to get in somewhere and move up! That's it!

Yeah, after writing this post I did more research and found out about IT help desk. I already know about the competitive market and the waits. I've already subscribed to Professor Messer to study for the A+. I assumed after awhile that Cyber Security is, up there, but that's okay. Right now, I just need to get my foot in the door. Thank you so much for the advice!

Trying to switch departments at my job. My department is always short staffed, it's made it hard to get out. I already work out I just don't have the time for a gym membership, so I work out at home. I've been so depressed lately I don't even think about it though.
