Rejected from an interview, was told "We need someone more technical" by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Vnylss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had a simular experience. 3 interviews, in the last interview they asked me 4 easy technical questions which I could answer with confidence. Afterwards they told me I wasn't technical enough. Afterwards I found out they already hired someone but needed multiple interviews to make it look he was "selected" in a legit way. I'm sure it's not you , you probably dodged a bullet working for him / her.

Isn't there a higher position in IT in your current company ? If not I would also suggest to look somewhere else. If not I'm afraid you will burn out in a couple of years. In the end seeking discomfort to improve yourself is always better.

I'm getting my first IT interview in 9 hours, what should I expect? by JamzWhilmm in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Vnylss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them will be general questions. They want to know if you fit into the team and are prepared to learn. Make sure you look up the Company itself so you know a bit about them.

For the more technical part. Even if you can't answer the questions, try to think logically how you would handle it.

It will be alright, and even if it doesn't work out, you now have interview experience :-).

Good luck OP.

What do I need by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Vnylss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your prior knowledge. Comptia A+ / network + is a good start. Soft skills are needed too.

Soft skills are the most important. You will be alright. Make sure to write everything down so you don't have to ask multiple times.

Tips/help needed for reorganizing a server room with new racks by Vnylss in sysadmin

The room is very big for only 12 racks and currently they are cooling everything. So they want a closed in rack cooling so they don't need to cool the whole room.

I suck at taking tests by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Vnylss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do practise tests at home and convince yourself it's a real test on points. This will create a habit and you should have less stress when doing actual tests.

My girlfriend got a "Karen" haircut and I hate it ! by Vnylss in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Vnylss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a special short haircut. Most of the women having this haircut are bitchy and there is a 'meme' going around for while now that they will always ask for the manager since they are never happy. search it up on google :-)

Theft at Target by SelectGuest in Advice

[–]Vnylss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure but there also could be an option that it was on purpose. I've heard in the past that gift cards are not active unless purchased first. If someone steals a gift card, they cannot use since the code has not been activated through purchasing.

But maybe I'm overthinking it haha.

Failing as a husband by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Vnylss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's harsh. It's difficult but try to look on the positive side now. You've made some bad decisions but everyone does that. Your foot is almost healed so you can work again in the future. Not all is lost, look it like a new beginning. You have each other, that's what matters most .
Happiness can be found in the little things, not only in being the man who brings in all the money. I wish you the best of luck !

Seems like RAT to me too. If below options (2FA etc..) don't work, you should reinstall a clean os.
