Hi @braincrash, a pleasure to have you on board. Two excellent growth areas of IT. Have you got any IT Certs at the moment? I love Portugal, a beautiful country

 

Oh excellent. As long as you have the knowledge that's the main thing. It does help the old CV to put a few modern certs on tho I think. Possibly get you past some recruiters filtering processes.

Bless you mate I had a few friends there who worked for Atos. Like you say, its all on a smaller scale isn't it even when its a big company. Would you move abroad do you think? Or possibly work remote from Portugal

 

I have a good buddy who still works for Atos Portugal if you want to speak to someone. I got all of my experience from Atos and travelled all over europe with them, a really good company.

I agree, its not fair but the recruiters need a way to turn 500 CVs into 50 so they often say, bin anyone without a certain cert or degree. It's one of the main reasons why I think certification is still very important in certain roles. Developers, not so much unless you fancy a challenge but infrastructure related, they hold a lot of weight still I'd say
