Hi just started to home study Comptia A+ and have very little experience.I saw a few posts and as wondering what this mike myers book is called.
As it sounds like it would help me wiv my studies. Im doing ok so far but every little helps.
Should introduce myself really I'm thirty wiv a ten year old son and have decided waiting hand and foot on strangers for minimum wage is not getting me anywhere. I have taken the very scarey leap back into education
into a feild that im interested in but know very little about. I MUST BE NUTZ!!! lol

Hi there and welcome

 

Hey Sam Welcome to CF

Good luck with your studies

 

Welcome to CF.

 

I see your from oz. One of the reasons i have decided to get into IT is so i may be able to move there as i'll have a trade as such. If u don't mind me asking what is the job market like out there? are the qualifications the same?. I know another brit wanting to move to oz but seriously, its such a beautiful country and having arthritis the weathers a big plus.

any info would be great thanx !!

 

yeah sleeping's for dead people. I have one of those brains that never switches off

 

me too,if I am lucky if I get 4-6 hours a night I just start thinking about stuff, my minds too active.

 

thanx guyz

nice to know there's people out there who can help!

hopefully when i'm a bit further in my studies i can pass on the knowledge too!!

 

Hi Sam, good to have you here. Welcome to CF

 

can be bloody annoying but ya get used to it. although gets me into trouble when people talking to me and my minds else where lol

I answer people and dont have the foggiest what they were asking me!!

 

yeah sounds very familiar if you ask me, I am up at 6am tommorow to get to work for 7 so I drinking some beer at the moment as it will help me sleep.

 

sitting @ home sipping a beer wozzzzup lol.

seriously, i am. got to log off now good nite!!

 

See ya later

 

Welcome to the forum Sam.

New too and starting out on my A+, although been in the industry many years, have no formal Certs to back my knowlegde.

Australia (sp?) looks lovely but you won't get me on a plane!!!!

Ok Sam well, the CompTIA A+ is recognised here, so that is a big bonus.. Also the common certs like Microsoft and Cisco etc are recognised here too. Be careful though because not all qualifications that are common in the UK are worth something, for example, City and Guilds means nothing to the Australian recruiters.

I can't really comment on the job market because it depends where you are and what experience coupled with certifications you have. Bear in mind that certs alone will not get you a job, other than an entry level job, such as a help desk role etc.. There is no shortcut into the really rewarding jobs in IT. Like all professions, you have to start at the bottom and work your way up the ladder. Experience will trump certs every time.

Good luck, the road to Oz is a long and tough one but the final destination is worth the grief and expense in the long run.
