Not that experience isn't huge. But even with little experience, if you have the aptitude you can be as productive as a crappy experiences developer - and it goes up fast from there. |

I agree with all the HR posts. Sometimes it becomes like a challenge/game that you should feel proud if you punch through any HR just to get the actual interview.

I did Centriq and got my foot in the door making as much as I was after 6 years and 2 promotions at a shit job. They'll give you a crash course (4 months of days or 8 months of nights). After they teach you the material. It'll be up to you to match your class time with an equal amount of self-study to pass the certs. Certs will get you in the door, experience will keep you in the industry.

Oh and I guess it goes without saying that once you're in you either have to know what you're doing or pick shit up very fast. Companies will not carry dead weight.

I had good luck early in my career with staffing companies and ahem "augmented resumes". The staffing cos don't ever do much due dilligence and they help you get past the first wave of HR. Then just nail the interview and don't suck on the job and no one cares if you lied on your resume or not.

As much as it sucked to leave an interview feeling like I couldn't have done any worse or at least being unsure of how it went, after lots of experience failing, I'm pretty much a pro.... I've nailed the past few and knew it the second it was over. Great feeling. Google 'interview situational questions' Come up with enough situations so you don't repeat yourself, and practice explaining the situations. Ask questions. Profit. |

Just got a referral from a network admin and just showed them I knew my shit. Some of the worst co-workers I had were the most "qualified" lol OP: If you do decide to get in the IT world, here's a piece of advice. Go to an actual college and not a DeVry type of place. You'll get ripped off and to be brutally honest, we throw resumes that list them directly in the trash. |
