Hi all , knowing that soon the place where I work is going to make me redundant and that for some time I have been fiddling with computers I was thinking to get certified in A + and then Network + and then get a job in IT
as a first job I guess anything would do,and then get a higher certification but as I am almost 50 years old and with gcse education... I really wonder if I should carry on and try or just forget about it and keep in the computing thing just as a hobby.
Any advise is welcome, looking forward for replies.

GCSEs? And you're fifty? What - did you do them on the island from 'Lost' or something?

 

He he.

You are never too old to start my man.

Plus you have life experiance to call upon.

When applying for 1st line/helpdesk jobs relate any customer relation interaction you have had in past jobs

Do the a+, N+ then MDCST then get that CV out there, adjusted for the job you are applying for of course.
