    I am really enjoying this, my first IT job!!! :biggrin

    Although i was gutted today when i found out the amount the umbrella company will be robbing from my wage each week. I have never worked as a contractor before, It was a bit of a shock lol

    Never mind i am over the moon to be working

    There is nothing like starting to make you enthusiastic. Yes - the taxes may be high, but the experience is great! :biggrin

    This is a bit of a bump for a thread that I was involved with some months ago, thought it maybe handy to give others "hope" after reading it :biggrin
    I have now lead a twilight world of a datacentre tech for in excess of 6 months, its been a real learning curve and the travelling has been real tough at times, linux commands WOW thats a real experience!
    In amongst this I completed the Network+ and have recently started Linux+ which was not what I planned but hey ho.
    Anyway recently there seems to be a lot of interest in datacentre techs in the thames valley area so I updated my CV on monster, things seem to be looking up so far I have had 3 telephone interviews with one company (the final face to face this coming week) and I have had 2 face to face with another company so fingers crossed :) The best bit is if either of these come off there will be a massive wage rise.
    So dont get disheartened if your struggling to get that 1st job in IT, if I can do it anyone can.

    Good Luck.
