Kitchen Manager to Sales...

[JeromeF]

I've just got a new job in Sales after being a Kitchen Manager for a whole 12 weeks!

I feel like I've no idea where I want togo in life.

I have numerous IT qualifications and am training for a few more, but feel there is quite alot of competition in the IT Industry and I lack a driving license at the moment so am very limited to where I can apply to.

What shall I do haha?

What qualifications have you got in IT?

[JeromeF]

CompTIA A+ and Network +. GCSE ICT, AS IT.

I've had few interviews and last guy was really good, although I didn't get the job, he gave me some good advice and said get some MCPs.

Going for MCDST at the moment to get my first, then need to save for MCSE... Not sure of any other smaller courses I can go for?

Good qualifications to have..

I have only been on the network management side of IT, but enjoyed that. Depends what tickles your fancy. I now teach IT at secondary and wouldnt want to swap jobs for anything else at the moment.

Just save up for the MCSE, or go to India to do it for half the price :)

To be honest I think I would be happy as Line Support... Going round an office fixing little problems whislt chatting up the other officer workers :o

I'm too worried to goto India! My dr didn't like the idea either... I have no spleen and get ill quite easily, still...

ICT technician in a school?

Money is piss poor but normally not a bad job. Need to look about though at Building Schools for the Future as I know there wont be any techy jobs in Kent in a few years time.

This would be ideal for myself, my cousin does it and as mentioned not great money but its secure and you get good pension etc.

I've been keeping my eye out for local schools but nothing has come up yet.

Perhaps I should stick where I am and keep on look, I'm sure something will come up eventually.

Get the self study books, VMWare server and have a play on your PC. I use VMWare for all my study labs.

I've got loads and loads of self study books to use that belong to my father and brother.

I even have a CCNA Lab I can use... Now I'm not in kitchens I will have plenty of time to start getting stuck in.

Guess have a go at what I've got here to use and find what I really enjoy about IT... Don't want to make the same mistake of keep swapping jobs, looks terrible on my CV.
