It’s a waste of F time now days 2024

Very cool, thanks for the info

8 year old video but is still relevant; TY!

Thank you.

Im watching this in 2024. Looking to become a linux system admin. I LOVE the command line. Black shell gang. #nogui im going for Linux + then RHCSA... Appropriate still?

Thanks 🙏 I’ve got the job.

It’s only gotten worse. Hundreds of applications, several interviews, no callbacks and all rejections

To be honest you have to be doing stuff out side of Support rules esp if those skills are not there in thoses. Linux is extremely rare in Desktop Support roles since most places are a Windows shop. The only transferable skilset in Desktop Support that would transferable into a Windows Admin role is Powershell. Help Desk and Desktops Supports only prepares you for more Help Desk and Deskside roles as they don't cover much in Networking either which is what an entry-level NOC Technician Network Technician job is for if you ant to persue Networking For Linux you would need a homelab for that and develop those skills or shadow the Server team that works with Linux esp Red Hat. Most Associate level Certifications like RHCSA, CCNA suggests to have at least a year on the job experience working with the technologies before taking the exam. Certs doesn't help much if you don't have practical hands experience which is what Employers wants.

I would also state that having Linux OS fundamental knowledge is a must especially for enterprise level support. At least that has been my experience with my current first IT role.

His face in the thumbnail says it all, this is so misleading, dangerous, cult-like, ignorant and unnecessary

Is a degree in politics the same????

I know lots of yt channels on this topic find it hard to answer the side of a legitimate firing... The answer for that is to 1st step is to improve yourself and become a better person while addressing that flaw that got you fired... then the next step is you need character whitenesses that will recommend you to new job prospects, if you have improved they will even tell the prospective employer that you are in better shape and doing well.. Atleast that what i have experienced in my life

most important thing is graduation completed

thankyou

Great stuff

So true

No idea when she's dating. An co worker.

I just got fired on zoom, I am going to sit back for at least a week to plan my next move. It’s painful to not feel appreciated when all managers are against you

Hey man. Is everything doing OK. You haven't posted?

Im in my 60’s I thought the job offer was too good to be true. WARNING WARNING To all mature aged workers, for whatever reason you are hired, some companies already have their employment lawyers primed even before you have an interview and even before you walk in the door, and it doesn’t matter what sort of company or business they are. Read the contract very carefully. Some evil companies do not keep records so if you want to take them to court for firing you, you have no evidence against them. Even co-workers are groomed to lie. To some companies older workers are there to be exploited and you are mere garbage to toss out and at the same time when you make an official claim against them, the employment lawyers are shameful liars and vicious attack dogs.

What about IT Support engineer? What’s your take on that

👌

They need more Americans like you teaching IT.

Please help me out, I just completed my A+ plus certification and I have never worked in IT. I am applying for job's. But I am not selected because I cannot get pass the IT technical questions. I feel like completing the A+ certification was useless. Can someone please give me resources or advice. I am trying to land a help desk level 1 position, but I cannot pass the technical questions. I have no prior IT experience.

Get your CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and then go and start your own business. Trust me you will not regret the decision.

You saying you need to know how to write, there is a lower case i in networking, whilst the rest of it is capitalised.

My boss was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. I'll admit, I am much better with a helping hand and guide, but come on, that's no excuse for being insensitive. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up for a one-person shift. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. I'm mad at myself for not standing up to her. She intimidates me when she's in a bad mood, but still, at the very least, I should've told her "my family always taught me to be self-confident and believe in my abilities," to challenge her to coldly disagree with that. Or if I was feeling really bold and adventurous (while still sounding mellow and respectful), "Well, [name], don't you think that if you're gonna say something like that, you might as well just say I'm incompetent and unintelligent?"

I guit using my degree for 7 years. Never could find anything with my degree, went back to old job. It's all about nepotism, networking is way more important than a degree. That was my downfall, I don't have that. Just go to college to network, don't worry about finishing. It's not really worth it in my opinion, unless you really like it.

Truth: college is a waste of time. Only real way is entrepreneurship. F begging for a job, and their shitty salaries, diversity and asking for time off to live your life.

my first time!!! Am overly impressed!! 🙏🙏🙏 KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP!!

What if you are collecting social security, you are 74 years old and you get fired after 2 weeks.

I already did all above before this video. Guess what turned around toxic workplace into kicking it in under 2 months of starting the role. Key strategy is: Worst case they will fire me, its their loss not mine, I will get another job or my freedom back but hey they wont be able to find another like me and my work ethics is priceless. Yes managers will get irritated like hell but they you have to keep going to survive.

I literally almost lost my mind. Working full time and going to school I honestly would recommend to work part time .

If your a complete jerk that's not nice. So please be a half jerk if you just have to be jerk.

I got fired from a good paying job just 3 months into it, I admit the skills they required me to do were not in par and I was struggling to meet some tasks. But at the same time, they had me training in this software while an intern was doing part of my responsibilities (which I partly trained him at the request of my manager). Next thing you know, I got a call from HR telling me I was let go. I asked the reason why I was let go but they said, "we are not going into details". The managers did not even have a meeting with me telling me why I was let go without notice.

this is actually an underrated skill not just in IT this is important to all aspects in life

Prep for the entry level jobs. And go up from that and try not to mention the degrees if you don't have experience. I'll put the experience in basketball terms. Who do you LeBron fresh out of Akron or LeBron with 3 rings.

Do you still have the resource guide that you referenced in the video?

Haha 😄 my neighbor CUONG shoulda known better! U r still better than my neighbor Cuong! Here's some motivation. U still have some time. U r not 60. My neighbor got fired when he was 50 around christmas 🎄 and his bday! How cursed is that? Take guts to admit u got issues. All humans do. U r not like my neighbor Cuong. He was arrested 2x for his rage against his supervisors! Then he got fired around christmas 2012! Sought revenge and retribution, lost 2 court cases to his employers, & lost thousands of dollars to attorney fees! The misery doesnt stop here. He doesn't go out unless necessary. No job. No vacations. No eating out. Doesn't celebrate any kind of holiday as he lost interest in anything socially-related. Almost no social interactions outside his family. Wife works and cooks for him daily. He has 2 junk cars sitting in his backyard and many other clutters. He also collects cans and bottles to get paid for recycling ♻️. I mean Cuong is a miserable guy who has no real, honest hope in his life anymore! That's 10 years of misery n denial of his major, mental illness conditions. He likes to put up a tough, fake front in front of others, but his pain and agony overpowers him inside. His false pride 😤 is what leads him to self destruction! What a shame. People on this site have more courage than 🐔 Cuong! A failure covers n lies about his issues. That's Cuong. U r definitely a good, useful person in our society!

Not only do you have to be mindful about what you post there but they've had data breaches just like Facebook. I would rather stay off there completely.

I am getting my MS in Cyber Security and while I haven't landed anything as of yet, I am getting more traction than I did with my business degree. I agree with you on the certs too. I am planning to get my cert in OSCP which should help me gain even more traction. I don't expect to break in with a six figure salary immediately but I plan to utilize the degree to become a professor too which should give me a competitive salary between the two. You have to be a little bit more creative these days.

Thanks so much

Thank you for a good advice. I'm dealing with one, I'm just 3 months and too early to see the red flags. I have nothing to do but deal with it, no way to back out. I will follow your advice while I'm waiting for my finish contract and leave. Thanks I found this video on my feed, I'm so lucky.. 🍀🙏

…….. i think it’s silly man but don’t take the title away from me cx I’m an engineer yaaaay

Hey sir. Did you have a tutorials base on what you present on the entry level baisc such as documentation basic windows os and etc. I want to gain basic knowledge about that.

So the title says your going to tell us the difference and then you proceed to say they are not different. Yes, the word Engineer gets thrown around way to loosely and it gets silly. The trashman is not a "Sanitation Engineer" that said there is such a thing as the Engineering Process. If your job requires you to follow that process regularly to create solutions, not create accounts or run trouble tickets or deploy desktop images to laptops all day, then you are indeed an Engineer. Techs and Admins do not follow that process. They follow processes and use toolsets created often, by Engineers or right out of the box. I have been a Desktop Engineer for nearly 20 years and while I wont site my salary it well above the range you mentioned and nearing CCIE levels. That is because I use the Engineering Process to create complex solutions around Desktop technologies for Enterprise not because the companies I have worked for over the years have inflated the jobs by slapping the word engineer on the end. I agree whole heartedly that no one should be overly intimidated by over inflated requirements because that happens all the time. All of that said to suggest there is no such thing as a Desktop Engineer who is indeed an engineer because hiring managers use the term to loosely is kind of silly.

I work at Mariano’s as a cashier but also know how to work the self checkouts and how the Mariano’s mobile application works (clipping digital coupons to get extra money off groceries). Does this count as IT experience because it’s still working with technology?

Yes, I agree with big stupid dumb philosophies like "Never quit". I just change my definition of what it is that I'm doing that I'd consider quitting from. I still search for jobs. But, now I learned long ago from experience and logic that searching for jobs does not mean having to contact anyone or communicate with anyone. Searching for jobs can just mean surfing the internet 24/7.
