Getting myself a job.

[Wallaceman105]

I'm in a weird spot, and looking for some advice. I have plenty of background knowledge about IT, and a passion for tech in general, but I have no idea where to start in the field. I don't have any formal education or training, so conveying my skill set on a resume is tough. 

Anyone got tips on how to get a decent tech job? 

 

If it helps narrow down the advice, I'm from NC in the states.

Find an internship, get the skills & quals and move on up from there! Best way into a job these days!

Definitely internships first. Did a 7 year one with WSP while going to school for Criminal Justice and Corrections. Got a technical degree in that while doing everything from homicide to cyberwarfare. Sometimes an internship offers more than a job and can be more fun. If you can find a paid one, that's even better.

temp agencys are a good option to start.

theres a few(like the one i work for), that specialize in helpdesk positions.  so even though i have no certifications, ive worked for a few major companies, which all have potential to get hired on fulltime.  they also help you write and flush out your resume.
