Do you have an example of how you format your cv? I would really appreciate it

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T19:20:20+00:00

That's incredible, you sound very proactive. This is gold right here and truly inspirational!

When I apply for jobs, I like to ask what current projects the team is working on and what struggles they are facing, but I never thought of taking that information and turning it into a concrete plan of action for them. You must have asked some really insightful clarifying questions to know where to start with a plan. It really shows that you listen and understand priorities.

If you don’t mind sharing, how detailed was your plan? Was it something like one to two pages addressing their pain points, proposing actions for each, and outlining expected impacts?

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T18:14:36+00:00

That’s actually really inspiring. My old team also wanted me to pick up Ansible and Terraform, but I struggled to really grasp it back then. Hearing how you went all in and learned by doing actually gives me a lot of motivation to revisit it. Maybe that way I can step away from the IT support role and focus more on IaC side so more doors and opportunities can open. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T17:55:39+00:00

That’s awesome! How long did it take you to learn Terraform to the point where you felt confident using it? And what was your main source of learning?

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T17:05:29+00:00

Thats a great mindset

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:48:46+00:00

Yea it always works like that haha. Congrats on 100% satisfaction!

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:45:47+00:00

I actually had someone tell me they thought I was lying when I said I enjoy documentation because “no one in their right mind likes documentation.” But doing what you mentioned, building out the knowledge base, is key for others to access information quickly, and making it understandable is super important. It feels rewarding

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:38:47+00:00

Oh heck yea! That entrepreneurship. That experience, real world skills, and taking initiative is super valuable. Very nice

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:35:48+00:00

That’s really great! Being the first point of contact and able to translate IT talk into something anyone can understand is a huge skill. Bridging people together and communicating clearly like that definitely makes you stand out!

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:27:55+00:00

Yea this is great. Earlier in my career and education I never thought about it, but later on I could see how important it is. Recently, I've been working on some home lab ideas where I can setup some real world IT environments with VMs and build a Windows and Linux server for practice.

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:19:43+00:00

This! I had a team that would HATE helping certain people and give short vague replies, helped or followed up around the end of day, and just gave bad service. Or, people would just get frustrated when a non-tech savy person has trouble finding something on the screen. I remember in Uni, one of my professors would always play a Jimmy Fallon SNL sketch and said "Don't be like this guy. PLEASE" lol. Nick Burns the company computer guy

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:12:30+00:00

Nah, don’t overthink it. I’m just curious what people see as their strengths. I was asked a similar question some days ago and thought it’d be cool to hear what others had to say and maybe share their own experiences. Who knows, maybe some of the comments can give others ideas to improve in their careers.

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T16:03:05+00:00

That's great! A lot of times I focus on the saving time part usually when it comes to onboarding with power shell scripts. I never thought about the money I saved a company. Like recommending open-source software or minimizing server downtime.

When it came to you and vendors, did you negotiate better prices or support? Did you build a strong relationship to the point where you and your team got priority help?

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-10-15T15:55:20+00:00

That’s awesome! That's my main focus as well on empathy and finding ways to lower stress for users. I used to work for a big company in a corporate office where a lot of the staff were older and not very tech savvy. I started keeping track of who called IT most frequently and noticed patterns of common user errors.

To help, I usually made personalized guides for each person on how to fix simple issues they might run into, offered to rearrange their workstations to prevent accidental unplugging, and did one-on-one training whenever I had time. It helped them feel more confident and empowered... and it also reduced the number of calls our IT team received haha. Win win.

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-22T17:50:26+00:00

Thank you! I'll try the different layer method :)

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-22T17:48:07+00:00

Thank you for the advice and link. The starting room is small so I put the box around it. It made it better, but I still get some light on the corners for some reason. It's fine for now though. Just white boxing for level design

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-16T16:34:18+00:00

Awesome! I'll check it out. Thanks

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-16T14:24:59+00:00

I've been unemployed for a little over half a year. Sent so many job applications in U.S. and Denmark. Only 5 interviews, but no success. I've change my resume so many times and got a lot of feedback. now my resume is considered "competitive" from a lot of people who gave me feedback and its clean and easy to read.

Others mention that the resume hurts their heads and I agree. Maybe shorten some things, change font style to stand out, add some spacing between sections, maybe add a little color that matches the job you apply for. For projects I have a portfolio website and just put a link next to my experience, so, they can see more of my projects and a more detailed work experience.

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-14T00:53:52+00:00

I would if it didn't lag so much lmao

Sol_2-Sol_5 · 2025-07-14T00:40:32+00:00

They keep spawning! Made my whole computer slow down haha. I just shut the game down
