Hey guys,

I just landed my first IT job thought I would share how I bagged it.

I always wanted to work in IT and last November I started to take it seriously from that time I backed up my knowledge with certifications I have currently A+, CCENT, MCDST.

I been applying for over 200 jobs in past few months bagged 3 interviews with different companies 2 of which I had final interviews I decided to take the later offer with an analyst role/ 1st line support for 23 k plus a lot of benefits. Company right now has over 3000 employees in 3 different countries and a lot of sites which me plus 8 people Look after. We are supporting lot of bespoke software plus basic cisco configs ( lot of it from scripts made by the second line team), active directory, VPN, remote connections to tills, printers, comps etc.


Its really a great job with career progression !!

So for all you guys out there don't give up and good luck!

Nice one dude, sounds like a good role, and from what you've mentioned is gonna do wonders for experience with all the different systems!

Enjoy

 

Well done mate

 

Congratulations!! What a good way to start the year.

 

Congrats!

 

Well done mate! i too have been studying since nov and have only passed A+ so far but working on network+ now, applied for bout 120 jobs with no interviews yet!

 

sure you will get there just keep up with applications and study ! i was working full time and was applying like a man on a mission.

I can say for sure one thing i no longer loathe monday's quite looking foward to them in fact.. Perhaps its the best thing i could ask for working doing something i actually like doing!!

so chin up and never give up

 

oh i aint giving up! only thing is i was self employed and the punk i was working for has knocked me about 600 quid so i aint going back there! now i have no work! Doh
Still happy clicking that apply button tho!

 

Well done and congratulations just goes to show hard work and persisistence pays off in the end. Keep us posted on how you're getting on with the new role.

 

Great to hear some good news, congrats!

 

Will do I'll make an update next Friday on first week !

Also thanks for all advise I decided to take mcsdt instead of going for more advanced certs and it helped me a lot. still think how ever the CCENT was more worth while than the n+ for me anyway.

persistence is the key I wouldn't have given up till I got a job.

 

Congrats!! hope to do the same.

 

Congrats!
