No offense but you should run that by spell check before you do anything. Unless of course English isn't your first language in which you have some sort of excuse.

My experience: A little more than a year of on-site technical support via remotely and desk-side at a local hospital. I've worked with lovely proprietary hospital software such as Meditech and Allscripts/Misys. I would say I'm pretty proficient in troubleshooting both but in terms of modules, that was left to our Application support teams. I received numerous commendations from supervisors and upper-management for my ability to work well with the users and to resolve issues quickly. I've also done a lot of web design in my younger years but nothing official. What I'm looking for: Pretty much anything really as long as the hours are flexible as I am a student attending classes. I don't mind Help Desk level I support at all considering a job is a job. Something that pays fairly well would be greatly appreciated since going to school isn't cheap as everyone would know. What I'm NOT looking for: A strict work environment where someone isn't even allowed to crack a smile because of fear from the mighty fist of management. But then again, I don't really mind either way. Actually, a job that requires a lot of travelling and in-home support is not my cup of tea. Where I live: Orlando, FL (Moving into my apt. in about 3-4 weeks) Where I'm looking: As long as it's within an hour drive, I don't really mind where it is. When I can start: About 2-3 weeks. Requirements: My current job has no benefits at all but I work casual pool to make up for it. So benefits would be nice but not required if it is made up via a few more $$$. Can be reached via: My email address: email.brian.jung at gmail dot com (Yes I have a lot of .s in my name because brian.jung was taken surprisingly.) Additional information: I already have my A+ Certification and I'm currently pursuing my Network+ and from there it's going to be Microsoft certs ahoy. I got my A.S. in Computer Engineering and am going to be attending the University of Central Florida to get my B.S. in Information Systems Technology. So it wouldn't even be a problem if it was a temporary job. EDIT: I don't know if this makes any kind of difference but I will be 21 in August and had the title of youngest employee in the I.T. department. I figured it would be a fun fact  Thanks for the consideration. Cizzo fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jun 15, 2009 |

Really off topic but I bet you made a pretty hefty salary... You're basically in the same position I want to be in about 10 years.

Casull posted:This is one hell of a long shot, since my main experience comes only with the home and friends/family (and I only have an A+, studying Net+ right now), but does anyone need an intern? I wouldn't mind doing helpdesk/cable running/basic stuff you can pass off to a newbie, and I'd be fine with doing it for low-pay/free if need be. I learn fast and I get along with everyone just fine. Check with your local hospitals. Those guys will take any free help and you will learn a ton but at the same time you will also learn the hell that is Healthcare IT.

Derpes Simplex posted:A LinkedIn group is also a way to accomplish this but I personally don't want to associate my real LinkedIn profile with SomethingAwful and I imagine most people here don't either. I actually find that obvious jokes aside, the goons that post in this sub-forum are pretty knowledgeable and show no mercy when it comes to making GBS threads on other people. I dig it.

brc64 posted:I've always thought that technical writing sounded like an interesting job, but I really don't know much about it. Do people typically have some sort of English or Journalism type degree going into something like that? Translating Engineering jargon to dumb people jargon = not easy. edit: Translating anything technical to everyday speak = not fun.

Bardlebee posted:I had a question for Software Engineers. How easy is it to get into the field once you finish your degree? My wife is thinking of changing her entire career to Software Engineering because the prospects look so easy, less stress, and to make decent money. She feels she would be good at it. Also, the field she is in now (medicine) has a lot of stress that is piled on. She has invested nearly 10 years in the medical field and is worried that if she 'starts from scratch' then she may be making the wrong decision. Basically, her choices are to go through 3 to 8 years of school to become a doctor or a PA (Physician Assistant). However, both these fields are extremely competitive and difficult to get in to those schools. Or, she could pursue a Software Engineer immediately focus in 2-3 years (She has her BS already in medical), get a job quickly (this is why I came here to ask this) and get good experience to make good money, with less stress? I'm not qualified at all to answer this but one of my relatives is a programmer for IBM and let's just say they don't really have a relaxed life. They will come home and work through the night while also receiving calls from other programmers to assist in resolving programming issues. This might only be the case because they are pretty up there but a stressful life nonetheless. They can't even have a regular vacation without bringing their work with them :| It may be less stressful than practicing medicine but it's still stress nonetheless

skipdogg posted:3: Make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. There's a lot of money to be made, but if your chasing the Oh god, this cannot be quoted enough. Don't pursue any kind of career unless you generally have some interest in it and enjoy it. It'll just end up like a job at that point. That and the whole thing with internships is true. I honestly think that fits into anything related to the computer field. No one trusts you to be able to do anything unless you have proof you can.
