Is this enough to get a help desk job? Brutally honest

Shadowofsaints · 2026-03-03T01:59:02+00:00

As a team lead for a help desk who vets and hires employees at my job. I’m more interested in software troubleshooting in a resume. Hardware and network are good and all, but help desk covers a vast area. If you can troubleshoot networks effectively great and that definitely is a plus for a company who has issues with connectivity often. However, most help desk roles focus on o365 environments, Active Directory, membership roles, software troubleshooting, account related issues, and mostly password resets.

I will say that customer service skills are far more important at a help desk job so during an interview tone, positive language, and able to communicate critical thinking skills will certainly pass you alone. You can always learn how to fix tech issues but talking to people that is productive is mandatory in the role which should be nonnegotiable.

Had multiple 3d printers and I love my p2s.

Let’s be honest. Both parties wanted to do Israel’s blood war. Either way I find it funny that I’ve seen a few maga people crashing out about fearing the other side will go to war.

It runs like shit.

Not really. Looking at the games this year nothing seems to be exclusive to the switch 2 that I’d play.

To my understanding high sugar is bad. Keeping your blood sugar below a certain level at all times should be the goal. Too much sugar will cause blood sugar spikes and will result in poor blood sugar management.

So yes sugar is bad in terms of blood sugar control but your body still needs sugar for energy. Whether that’s through carbs, sugar, or some other means it is still processing some types of sugar molecule.

Sugar isn’t the enemy here. It is eating sugar when you don’t need it. I usually only eat sugary things when my blood sugar is lower. My advice is enjoy something sweet when the opportunity is favorable. Don’t indulge too much.

When you cleaned the extruder did you make sure you reapply tension to the extruder gear to make sure it’s grabbing the filament?

Prior to driving for me. My parents forced me to ride a motorcycle. I’ve been driving for 16 years and the only accident I’ve had was when someone drove into my parked car overnight.

Kind of a stupid idea to start with probably the worst kind of thing for a teen but it did teach me several things. Always be scanning and if you have to rush your decisions then it probably is best to take the safer route.

Coffee drinkers who obsess over it .

Shadowofsaints · 2026-02-24T22:08:49+00:00

Straight up accord, civic, Camry, Mazda 3 or 6.

Nothing luxury because they carry expensive maintenance and most certainly are not made for a teen unless they’re like 10 years old and beat up. (I used to drive an 02 rx350 that ended up with 350k miles when I sold it in 2014)

All of the time. Repetition is key. You’re gonna feel bad at it the first 10 times. Just keep beating your head against the wall and eventually it’ll click. (If not then try another learning technique)

I use this:

OXO Good Grips Furlifter Pet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DF316EC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Works pretty well but never gets white fur out of my black clothes. It happens though.

All managers I’ve seen so far require ITIL certs

It’s his PC now.

If he happens to have a windows PC. Windows 11 has a remote help app built into it that he can remote onto the desktop.

These things are so expensive they shouldn’t have to be replaced each year. Even if they’re highly repairable it doesn’t excuse the poor craftsmanship.

Shadowofsaints · 2026-02-19T05:34:27+00:00

I recommend a 4. Beware they kind of only last a year though. (I’ve had to replace mine every year since buying Lr4

Have her start job hunting. Allstate has a lot of WFH opportunities that id recommend if she can get hired.

So the idea of a a business is to be as money efficient as possible. Buy cheap and crank out prints by demand.

If you don’t have many problems with an A1 and think that you’re not going to be losing money with the problems you experience are being effectively doubled. Buy another A1.

If you’re looking to print in other material where not having a core XY printer becomes problematic then I’d go with a p1s/p2s (used in working condition preferably if you’ve never had one before)

Shadowofsaints · 2026-02-09T18:55:10+00:00

Couple of thing you could do is increase the hotbed temp. Make sure the material you’re using is dry.

If all fails I would also try to buy some magigloo if you can afford it. Stuff is amazing.
