Hi guys and girls. I've been lurking around here for a while, but I decided to register today, so I thought I'd better introduce myself in here. Until last year, I was working in technical support (not IT related, it was printing inks!) until the company closed our branch

I'm studying part time, with the eventual aim of getting a job in IT. I already have a Diploma in Computing from Open University, and I'm still working towards my BSc (gaining CCNA by the end of the year on the way).

I have lots of 'non professional' IT experience. I play online games quite a lot, and as a result ended up creating a forum for the clan I'm a member of. We rent a Windows 2003 server, and I have installed mySQL, PHP, and phpNuke to run the forums and website, as well as creating the content for the site. It's been running for 2 years now, with an average of 1000 hits a day and nearly 300 registered users. I also have a little Java knowledge, although nothing too heavy, only stuff for my OU courses. I have built dozens of PC's for friends, family and friends of friends, and set up quite a few wireless networks. I get e-mails and phonecalls on an almost daily basis asking about PC problems!

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm looking forward to being a member of this community, and hope that the support and advice that I receive will help me to find my first job in IT

Hi Stevo,

Aloha yourself.

Sounds like you keep busy mate, cant beat a bit of gaming.

I see that you're based in Telford, not too far away from myself (Walsall).

I came accross a site which you might find useful to keep as a favourite...

http://www.entagroup.com/vacancies.php

You may already know of this but its a large internet based company in Telford which posts up vacancies when they crop up.

 

Gaming rules. Welcome to the forum!

 

Yeah.....I've seen that, it's the Japanese looking building on Stafford Park. I believe they run most of the backbone in this area? If all goes to plan, I will have my CCNA by the end of the year, and they are one of the many local firms that I could hopefully get my first IT job with!

Thats the good thing about Telford, there are a lot of large firms, and obviously they all have networks!

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the forums mate, I've was a big gamer a year back, just curious, what game you play and whats ur clan?

 

Welcome to CF!
