I was just updating my Monster CV and started thing about what employers are actually looking for when looking for an entry level employee, i ask this because they are few and far between as far as advertised jobs are concerned for me to get an idea from.

I was just wondering what the entry level core skills were so as i could focus on these areas and then i can have something worthwhile on my CV!

I realise it will be different from company to company but for say, someone like myself who would be looking at Helpdesk Support or actually getting into the real thing, (hands on) i mean, what would be the best areas to concentrate on.

Is it just a general knowlege of say, the A+ criteria?

I know it it might seem an obvious question to answer but i would just like to hear some of the opinions you guys might have to add.

Just maximise on what you DO have at the moment - ie, willingness (you're doing the A+) experience of fixing all those PCs folks keep calling you about, general willingness to learn, etc. You may think you have little to put on your entry level CV, but if you work hard at it, you'll do it - worked for me.

Good luck Kev.

 

Thanks a lot mate, reply much appreciated.

Thats what i will do.

I picked up my Mike Meyers All in one today from depot because it wouldnt fit through the letterbox, some reading but it really looks the part!

 

Agreed 100% with AJ's points above as well.

(Hint if you can spell, it goes on the CV too )

 

Cool Gav!, Ta AJ.
