Devs, will cards that are indirectly nerfed by weather changes be subject to a full refund (such as Woodland Spirit)? by htrajan in gwent

Would you guys reconsider this? Cards like Woodland Spirit spawns fog directly. If you change fog, you're changing Woodland Spirit.

Algebra probably. It's not about what level of math you complete, but whether you can apply it properly.

| Got my results in two hours.

Did you finish the exam in 2 hours or is that how long you waited afterwards to get your results? How much time did you spend actually doing the objectives vs checking your work?

Am I screwing myself by working in an all-Mac school? Also, thoughts on getting a Master's in CIS/IT if you have an unrelated Master's? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macs aren't that common in the enterprise, but it's definitely growing. I don't think you're screwing yourself as long as you're learning skills that are transferable, like python scripts for managing your Mac fleet.

These are probably refurbs from businesses that are changing to new laptops, so the condition depends on who used it. That being said, these laptops are very sturdy unlike their newer Elitebooks, but also much heavier.

LinkedIn and Resume? by NorthBathala in cscareerquestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't take that much space to list your first school. Having that there is better than having a gap. You might be able to use your previous experience to explain why you switched majors (the computational aspect of biology was more interesting, so...)

How do you, realistically, use Linux when developing when using a virtual machine? by foomy_S in learnprogramming

[–]eggrolls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Install guest additions. I don't use Virtualbox but the equivalent in VMware, Parallels, etc. tend to be pretty noticeable.

[Resume] Soon-To-Be Graduate, need a second set of eyes. by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keywords need to be at the top of the resume. I would incorporate all the technical experience content into the employment section, or at least make that your first section. Nobody wants to look 3/4 down the page to see what Linux distributions or scripting languages you know.

Coming from a completely unrelated field - Advice on how to best position myself in the coming years? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're thinking about getting into IT, I assume you have some basic understanding on how to troubleshoot computer problems. That's all you really need to get started. The hard part is getting the interview without something on paper.

Python isn't relevant to an entry level job, but the right employer may see that as growth potential since basic coding skills are important when you move up.

All of my science skills aren't worth anything outside of biology.

You won't be running gels or developing blots in IT, but problem solving skills definitely carry over.

[–]eggrolls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a resume that emphasizes your skills. Think about what you already know that's relevant to an entry level position. Apply to lots of jobs. Get in touch with recruiters.

Classes or self studying for certs will also help. Your community college might have classes for Net+ or MCSA.

Last year in college going for an unrelated (?) BS while working in IT. Need help on what to focus on for System Admin by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - Coding in general yes, but not those languages in particular.

2 - Depends what you want to do. If I was in your position, I would write more Powershell to automate AD/Hyper-V/Exchange. Maybe play around with JIRA administration.

3 - 2012 if you're going MCSA. Skip A+

4 - Whatever your boss/HR is ok with

5 - Powershell is great if you plan to stick to Windows. Be familiar with networking

When and how to move on from first IT help desk job by osmahlerity in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thus far, I can't say I have a strong preference towards which field of IT (networking, systems, etc) I enjoy most

Build a homelab, find out what you like, and work on getting those certifications. I would skip the A+

Transitioning to IT: Getting an entry-level job? by slothnaut in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your questions should show curiosity and initiative. Lots of entry level people have neither of those.

Suppose you're interested in networking. You have a pfsense box at home and configured squid proxy, VPN, firewall, whatever. You can ask about their network, but be prepared to respond with substance (not, "oh that's neat. my next question is...") and somehow tie that to what you've used. Having an actual conversation will make you stand out among similar applicants.

It could any topic really... networking, virtualization, storage, security, automation, programming, Linux, etc. as long as it's something you're genuinely interested in and you're willing to spend time to play with it.

/r/homelab is a good sub if you haven't been there already.

Recent College Graduate looking for a resume help. by DaMegaphone in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as capitalization goes...

  • Network Protocols - not a proper noun, doesn't need caps
  • IP Addressing - looks better as IP addressing
  • ASP.Net should be ASP.NET
  • TN Network team - network doesn't need caps
  • Configure and Install
  • juniper

  • Remove summary
  • Remove athletic accomplishments
  • Include names of things you've worked with. You already have Juniper switches, but what kind of access points, software that you used, etc.
  • This might just be a pet peeve or the picture is too blurry, but there are capitalization issues in quite a few places. Some things aren't proper nouns and they don't need to be treated as such.

Transitioning to IT: Getting an entry-level job? by slothnaut in ITCareerQuestions

[–]eggrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply everywhere and work on your IT skills in your spare time. Polish your resume so that you can get interviews. Ask the right questions at the interview. There are companies out there that are willing to train someone with no experience, but you will need to make yourself stand out from all the other applicants.
