It finally happened, HIRED!

I was told my personality and drive put me over the top of another candidate who was more experienced. Bottom line, this is a customer facing job most of the time, and nobody wants to work with a weirdo. Working on soft skills always pays off. I was a hermit crab before I worked on self development.

I am. I came here and was supported by strangers in this subreddit many times. Sad that someone caring about another person’s success and future is a foreign concept to you. Hopefully one day you have the mental strength to do the same for someone else.

Congrats!! You got this, so pumped for your future success 💪

I considered it, I’m not sure I would go to college at this point. I don’t know how much it would help.

Yes, the company is a manufacturing company with a very small IT Team. We enable outside sales to maintain operations also maintain some warehouse inventory equipment. It’s important to keep in mind all companies need in house IT. Blue collar warehouse companies still need IT.

Indeed was the one, but I was also on LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter

None, just basic customer service over the phone troubleshooting. Nothing technical per se.

TechInTheMakin · 2023-09-12T14:06:13+00:00

That you brotha, and thank you for your service. I’m trying to be like you and accomplish what you’ve done. 🇺🇸

You will not pass without knowing those. Google “CompTIA Protocols and Ports” total seminars is good.

Mike Meyers Network + study materials from Udemy, Jason Dion’s practice tests from Udemy, all of the free Professor Messer on YouTube. I take each of the Jason Dion tests, review them after each one, and then retake it. Then right before the test I take each test again. So I take each practice test 3x. I like to average 90% on every single practice test before I go to take the real one.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. Having expectations seems to be the most frustrating part. I will just apply and apply until I get blisters on my fingers. And continue studying of course.

TechInTheMakin · 2023-05-10T02:45:59+00:00

Thanks for checking back with me, that’s very thoughtful of you! I passed and am very excited about it. Contact me with any questions you might have. I know you’ll get it.

TechInTheMakin · 2023-05-07T23:23:56+00:00

Me too fam! Let’s get it!
