What kind of projects are useful for desktop support/ help desk position I can add on my resume?

@WithSandra 8 ай бұрын

@@larrymitchell9897 Anything around Networking, using Linux command line tools, or even troubleshooting simulations would be great to look into! I'd also consider looking at more niche projects too (e.g. Cloud support, network troubleshooting, etc.) if there's already an area in help desk you're most interested in. Best of luck!!

hi sandra! I was working on my a+ with messer's videos, but MY GOD, when i got into the IP protocol part (1101) I lost it completely. I have studied on my own before during college and all, but this has been so tough for me. I needed another source of info and i moved to prof. dion. I see that there is a textbook, I see it is mcgraw hill which is pretty familiar to me since I used those books in college, what exactly is the text book good for? is it all the stuff that is in parts 1 and 2? is it like a traditional textbook? I feel like I am more textbook based because stuff sticks more, the note taking, the stickies. I am a big traditional learner, do you think if I buy this book it can help me finish? Thank you again!

Hi Sandra, I have all the materials I need to begin studying but as I sit down to do it im daunted by just finding a place to begin, do you or anyone else have any suggestions on where I should be starting such as should I use the exam objectives as a check list and start from top to bottom? I mean as I look at the Comptia book I get kinda overwhelmed and feel like im not remembering things a should be needing to remember, what is some advice you could shoot my way please. Other than a passion for tech I have no prior experience and am struggling to learn period ive barely gotten my life back in order and im just plain doubting my ability to soak this information. Can anyone give me some advice id really appreciate it.

@sisi_life1999 6 ай бұрын

Welp, I'm probably in no place to give recommendations because honestly I have no experience either and am just beginning to study. I'm using the exam cram book from Amazon, professor Messer's videos, Dion's 220-1101 course, exam compass for practice questions, and some Anki decks. I set aside about 2-3 hours every morning to read, take notes, watch lectures, and look at flash cards. By the end of studying for 220-1101, I will go back and make sure I have a firm grasp on the objectives. I hear that it is not a good idea to worry about memorizing every minute detail, but at least understand the concepts. Use repetition to your advantage, you definitely got this!

@thomasrodriguez5661 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for getting back to me I really do appreciate it. I actually found a couple books that go through the material per section which helps alot so I can focus on mobile devices and theres a ton of sample questions for that section then once I grasp it I move on to the next.

hi thomas! So are you like using books to dive deeper in to the concepts of the exam? is it working for you? Once I study I hit a brick wall with a concept like IP protocols and I fall into a google rabbit hole. what frustrates me about comptia is that well I don't know a lot of concepts and the only way I can remember them is if I truly understand them you know? I can't just remember to remember. I need to understand the terms and all or else I just won't be able to make sense of the content once I sit down to take the a+ exams. lol. :(.@@thomasrodriguez5661

Hi Brittany, I'm going to be honest. I put studying on pause so I can focus on the semester, but I plan on continuing soon. The semester is close to finishing, and after that, I wouldn't mind forming a study group. I have a ton of study material that's just sitting around, and forming a group is more motivating than trying to do it by sheer willpower because it's tough.
