    what do network or system administrators need to know?

    Thanks for your input. But I am still wondering if it is true that system administrators need to know some programming language like Java and C#?

    what do network or system administrators need to know?

    I am just entering the IT workforce and I just graduated school with a bachelor's in Economics, and I studied and got the A+, Network+, Security+, and MCP. I would like to work for a large company but I don't mind starting out small. After some research online I think I might like being a...

    what do network or system administrators need to know?

    Do network and system administrators actually use Java, XML,.Net, C#, SQL and so forth? That's all I really want to know. And if so, what do they use it for?

    what do network or system administrators need to know?

    In the long run, I plan to become a network or systems administrator. I was looking at a university program and some of the required courses are: Java, XML, Linux / Unix, .Net, C#, UML, SQL. Do you need to know these subjects to be a network or systems administrator? It looks like you have to...

    new to IT working world

    Thanks guys for all your responses. But my question is should I get the MCSA and get it out of the way? I know that experience itself is more valuable than just certifications. So would an MCSA on a resume scare off employers if I apply to an entry-level helpdesk job even if they see I have no...

    Could you guys give me an idea of how you found volunteer work or an internship other than the usual job application online? Like did you call the company directly, or walk in the store directly, and what did you say?

    new to IT working world

    Hi, I have earned my A+, Network+, Security+, and MCP certifications, and now I am thinking of taking the 70-291 to earn the MCSA certification. But, I have no work experience. Do you guys think if I get the MCSA I will get overqualified for some jobs, or I might scare off some employers...

    repairng an old XP Vaio computer

    Hi guys, I was trying to take a look at my old XP Vaio desktop, and while I was removing the components I accidentally ripped one of the wires out. It's a wire that connects to the USB port on the front panel, and then it connects with the motherboard on the other end. Does anyone know where I...

    working as a technician with no real experience

    So do you think someone like myself with just book knowledge and no experience can handle this type of job? And what would be expected from me in terms of work performance on the first month on the job?

    working as a technician with no real experience

    The job description describes that the technician goes to a parts pickup location, and then drive around from client to client. It says experience with replacing hardware components in desktops and laptops. Is this what is called a break/fix type of job? And what does break-fix mean? Does it...

    working as a technician with no real experience

    In addition to the last post I just added above, if someone like me with no experience finds a job that involves just hardware and warranty type work, then it shouldn't be too difficult? The job description did say hardware replacement.

    working as a technician with no real experience

    The job description seems to say that most of the job duties involve replacing only hardware components, and the interviewer said it is warranty type repair work. If it's just hardware and warranty repairt work then it shouldn't be too difficult?

    working as a technician with no real experience

    Thanks everyone for all their responses. Now in the mean time I have been interviewing for a technician job and I just got off the phone interview. The recruiter who told me about this position made it look like an entry-level type role. He emailed me the job description and it says: "would...

    working as a technician with no real experience

    Thanks for all the advice everyone, it is letting me see what direction I can go. I have studied for certifications and so far I have earned A+, Network+, Security+, and the MCP. I am currently studying for the 70-291 exam to get the MCSA. With all these certifications and no experience, how...

    working as a technician with no real experience

    How did you guys start getting good at repairing computers and accumulating more knowledge? The only resources I am relying on are books and the internet but it seems that the information is incomplete, so I have to read a ton of resources on the subject. And even still after reading a lot I...

    working as a technician with no real experience

    Hi, I was wondering of what kinds of opinions experienced technicians on this forum could give. I have my A+, Network+ and MCP certifications but I have no real experience except for taking apart my old XP computer. I found this job where I will be traveling from client to client, and it...
