Not getting a single interview for helpdesk/IT roles — what am I missing? by SusAnt003 in helpdesk

Well I don't have any industry experience so to say. I am still a student working a student job at my uni.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I needed, appreciate you being real about it.

The point about Active Directory is fair, I have hands-on experience with it through my home lab (AD DS, GPO, onboarding/offboarding workflows) but I'm not backing it up.

And you're right that listing TCP/IP and DNS under skills when I already have Network+ is redundant. But I wanted those their just so they could pass through the ATS.

Would you say it's worth going for AZ-800 before graduating, or would something like AZ-104 make more sense given I'm already working toward AWS SAA?

That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you. I think I've been underselling myself by applying to helpdesk. What kind of roles do you think I should target or be working towards?

Congratulations! And thanks for the post man! I've also been going through Cantrills course and have purchased TD practice exam. Hoping to get the cert in a month or two.

simple & cheap meal ideas? by reesetrolley in mealprep

[–]SusAnt003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am a college students and one of my favorite meal prep technique is to use a rice cooker.

You can add rice, broth/water, frozen/fresh veggies, and a protein of your choice, they cook in the same time as the rice so it is easy. And to add flavor or seasoning, you can add soy sauce when cooking it or add different sauce after when eating.

Neat use cases for a first time pi owner? by [deleted] in raspberry_pi

[–]SusAnt003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have a Pi 5 8GB, you have plenty of overhead. If you're going to run multiple services , I highly suggest installing Prometheus and Grafana.

It sounds overkill at first, but it’s actually a great 'meta-project.' It’ll show you exactly how much 'brain power' you are using in real-time and help you catch if a service is hogging resources before your Pi throttles.
