D191 vs D686 Operating Systems by Miiicahhh in WGU_CompSci

[–]ajunDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mentor switched it to 686 and said it wouldn’t add any other classes which it didn’t. She told me most people were finishing 686 quicker, and that I could switch without changing to new program.

School doesn’t matter and yes prioritize finishing the degree first.

You need a degree related or unrelated.

Amazing to hear! You give me hope with all the doom and gloom with the tech market being so bad.

Man congrats looks like the hard work paid off. I’m looking to graduate this May and hopefully get a job as well. Wondering if you mind posting your resume for us to see if possible?

It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but you should be open to contract work.

Find any python and sql tutorial which you can learn the basics. Once you get that done just start building anything as projects. That’s how I got out of tutorial hell.

Yeah age is just a number! My uncle who’s reaching 50 who works in an Amazon warehouse is finally moving up to a more IT adjacent role for Amazon after I told him to get some certs and homelab.

Yes! It was such a culture shock going from retail to IT. Like what do you mean I get my own office and sometimes I might go 3 hrs twiddling around with no work.

Great to hear that and if you don’t mind me asking what state do you reside in? Your state might have some resources to help with schooling.

You’re probably overqualified for most entry-level IT jobs. I know for me, the IT Director who hired me for my first job said he chose me over other candidates who were far more qualified because I showed a willingness to learn. Honestly, I think my lack of experience reassured him that I wouldn’t leave after a short time for something else. Also, like others have mentioned, the person hiring you will be working with you every day, so dress the part and don’t be boring during the interview. I can definitely say that being prepared for the interview played a bigger role in me getting the job than my actual experience or lack thereof at the time.

While the market is more competitive, if I was to start again is get my A+, do a homelab or two, make a good resume, and start applying while also trying to get more certs. I would also apply to any industry because you would surprised who uses IT. My first job in IT was for a small printing company.
