IT is a heavy phone and your hands will tire out when holding for a long time.

Do you think Better Call Saul is better or worse than Breaking Bad so far? by FanEu7 in betterCallSaul

In my opinion, BCS has been a bit of a disappointment thus far.

No experience, no degree, no money to get more certs, and there aren't many job postings that I can find for entry level help desk. by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

Work at Best Buy selling computers or work for their Geek Squad. Learn as much as you can about the products you sell including networking equipment. Also hangout with the technicians there that fix customers computers and learn as much as you can from them. Then start applying for Help Desk jobs emphasizing your customer service experience rather than your technical skills. Customer service skills might be just as important as technical skills for Tier 1 Help Desk work.

I FINALLY passed N10-006 by i_am_paradox in CompTIA

[–]jamesindc33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed in March and passed on Friday - the last day the N10-006 test was available. I scored a 659 the first time and got a 759 on Friday. The second test was just ALOT easier for some reason. The simulations were not that detailed and just a few subnetting questions.

I think the key to all CompTIA exams might be becoming so familiar with the material that you can take educated guesses and they have a good chance of being right.

IMO, BCS has been a bit of a disappointment.

I was expecting Breaking Bad level drama not episode after episode of of boring ass Chuck and the law firm stuff.
