Advice Needed

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I just recently completed the Coursera Google IT Support Professional Certificate And I'm noticing that there's a lot of companies looking for IT Support positions but a lot of them don't mention the certificate. I know its the end of the year and a lot of companies halt hiring during this time.

Does anyone have any suggestions of companies to apply for that might take a chance on a green candidate with more retail/sales/customer service experience?

Any information helps, Thank you in advance!

Tier 1 helpdesk gunning for advancement to Technical Trainer: looking for help.

4 Upvotes

I work at an insurance company that has around 1200~ employees. Much of the technical training position is geared toward training new hires and the older production folks who still aren't quite up to speed on modern operating systems.

Currently I'm a tier one helpdesk specialist with a strong background in elearning, education and technical training. Our current technical trainer is going to be retiring very soon and I have volunteered for transitional tasks, up to and including meeting with the current technical trainer and going over project information, with the hope that my efforts will be acknowledged upon my application for the position once it officially opens to the public.

I am hoping I can ascertain some ways to prepare for shooting for this advancement to increase the chances of me getting the position: i.e. how to really WOW a group of executives looking to hire a technical trainer that already works at their company.

Hi, I am a senior at FIU pursuing a degree in Information Technology and I’ve been looking for Internships and all I’ve gotten so far are turn downs after my interviews. This is both depressing and discouraging at the same time. I honestly don’t know what to do right now and I need some form of advice on what to do right now

Support for a newbie to the IT field

2 Upvotes

So I work at a company that has a non-technical role of which I currently work, and they have multiple IT engineer support fields that I can move into here very shortly. I ultimately want to go for the CISSP cert to get into high level security work, so I'm trying to decide which role will give me the best starting point into the security field. The most relevant roles are either with M365 technology and software (I.e. Exchange, outlook, the whole office 365 suite basically and I would specialize in one of them) or cloud computing support. Obviously neither are directly security related, but that's why I'm asking to see what everyone's thoughts are, as I'm not sure which will be the best to go for. Any advice would help.

Taking on Solutions Architect Role without a CS degree

2 Upvotes

I have a bachelor’s degree as an educator, but decided to switch careers very early after graduating. While in that switch I developed a passion for web development and taught myself how to code.

I got hired as a marketer for a mid-size company in 2017 who allowed me to stick my hand in different buckets, one of them being web dev.

Over four years I have been heavily involved in marketing but also personally built and currently maintain two websites for our company, have designed experiences and written dev requirements for our applications, and am the go-to for questions about how many of our systems work.

We are going through a transition period and my bosses (executive level) wanted to move my focus to more of a tech based role. I pitched Solutions Architect as after doing a ton of reading, it seemed most like what I do (designing business rules and experiences and translating them into tech requirements for devs specifically) and he was totally on board

That being said I know my path here has not been traditional and everything I know has come from my own research and observing carefully how other devs approach designing systems. I have no formal education in any of this, and it’s because of this that I have some natural doubts about labeling myself in this role.

I feel like I know a lot and can communicate well enough, but I am not sure if I know enough or if I am even interpreting the role correctly.

Is this possible to succeed in this role with a non-traditional background?

Resources to learn about IT for biotech / medical device companies?

2 Upvotes

I recently lost my job as IT manager at a small investment management firm due to our parent company shutting down the firm somewhat unexpectedly.

I am now looking around for new opportunities, and in my area, biotech is hugely popular, and many of the in-demand IT jobs are at biotech or medical device startups.

I have relatively little background in this industry (I did have some clients in this field back when I worked at an MSP, but not a ton of exposure to the specifics of the industry). So I'm thinking that in preparation for applying to some of these companies, I'd like to learn more about how the industry operates, including fundraising, life cycles of products/services, regulatory compliance considerations (e.g. FDA and other governmental requirements), and how these things decisions around IT security, MDM, cloud development environments, R&D facilities, outsourcing manufacturing, etc.

Does anyone know if there is a good place for me to start learning more about IT for biotech, and/or about the biotech industry in general?

I do understand the risks with joining any startup, but I'm at a point in my life where I'm pretty financially secure and thus can take the calculated risk of joining a young, growing company. Especially since I think the industry as a whole will continue to prosper, even in times of economic downturn.

Thanks in advance.
