Hello Everyone:
I have a volunteer job in IT for one day a week.
Will still be working 5 days a week in my current job.
With some time working at the volunteer job, hopefully I will
finally get an IT position.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support and encouragement.
If I would only start studying for the networking certification again.

Congrats!

My 'volunteer' job is manning a 'help desk' at a local computer fair each week. *Very* educational!

Harry.

 

that's cool.
i am also considering applying for volunteer work when the time comes.

 

Very good, VS. Glad to hear it. Let us know how you get on.

 

Thanks for the good wishes as they are appreciated!

 

Well done Mike! Well done for sticking with it. This is the foot in the door you have been waiting for.

 

Glad to hear it Mike, this could be the start of better things to come!

Good Luck.

 

Congrats and Good luck with it!

 

Nice one Vet!

 

Mike that is good news. Showing a bit of initiative goes a long way when you are applying for jobs. Any real world experience is invaluable as you obviously realise!

 

Congrats vet,
I'm thinking of doing some volunteer work in Newcastle to gain that valuable experience ticket that so many employers want.So if any one knows some one who knows someone whos willing to take on a keen, willing to learn, newly enrolled mature IT student I can spare 2 days a week.

 

Great news Mike - truly well done .

Don't forget to still make time for that nice new guitar, tho

 

Thats great news Mike, if it's any insentive i started doing that in my workplace a few months ago and it has led on to me getting a three month secondment into the IT dept in the hostital that i work in now, possibly longer. It could be one of the most important things you do mate, stick at it.

 

Thanks Gav!
I always have time for my new guitar.

 

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. This volunteer job is not likely going to lead to employment. The experience, however will hopefully lead to an IT job.

 

Hey, congrats. I guess at the end of the day, although it may not DIRECTLY lead to employment, it's better than a kick in the jubblies. How did you arrange the volunteer work? I'm trying to do it with my work place, but they're being decidely irritating about it.

 

I am definitely glad for the IT experience, that's for sure. I am grateful for the volunteer job and look forward to keeping my IT skills up to date.
