Hi there. Hope you are all well today.

I found your forum yesterday so registered this fair morning.

Quick introduction to myself; I am going to be made redundant tomorrow (I've know its been coming for while). I am now looking at returning to an IT career after nearly 8 years away, albeit from the technical role I currently hold.

I have no formal qualifications or accreditations but have had a good 3 or 4 years configuring and installing windows desktops and servers.

Any advice you guys might have would be great. I am looking at taking the MCDST tests, plus also A+. Long term goals would be to become an MCSE and combine my management experience I now have, but thats gonna be a few years down the line I know.

See you around

Welcome to CF

Good luck with the studies.

Welcome!

 

Sounds like you're on the right track. It won't be easy to get back into IT considering the job market, but your past experience will put you a step ahead of much of your competition who do not have any experience, provided you're OK with the salary.
