Getting into the Tech Industry for work?

[JCURSE7X]

I've always had a passion for the tech industry but with all the C*VID 19 going on, "normal" jobs are harder to find near me. Is there any tips / suggestions you might have for someone to get into the remote tech industry? I've got a pretty well rounded background with the ins and outs of this industry but looking to further that and even get into the work that it holds.

Support Specialist mainly. I'm not as familiar with Networking yet and programming is fun but I don't think I hold the right credentials to make things that a client or company would be satisfied with as of this moment.

Don't you have search engines for jobs? There are websites specialized in this...

Many programming jobs will require having some work experience in the past and/or certain degrees/certifications, it's not as easy to find a programming job which accepts applicants that are self-taught or have limited credentials although if you take a deeper look you may be able to find one.

 

 

Best of luck finding your perfect job!,

I wasn't necessarily saying "hey find me a job so I can work" it was more of a "how do I further my knowledge to become more desired in that field" type of thing. I do understand though. I figured it's more direct to learn and ask through a place where tech is the big picture.

Thank you! I learned some languages in high school during my time in a tech course as part of an extra stem course we had the option of taking but I never really did more than simple programs that would log files and all. Nothing extreme like building massive multi-use programs (Discord, Spotify etc)

If you want it, you´ll find a way....

I was working as an mechanial engineer for 10 years, and this year due to covid, i switched to become a professional admin/systemintegrator.

 

So theres always a chance

I personally love troubleshooting and building computers and servers. I have only ever worked on one server which was in school. That's awesome dude. I think it'd be a good change of pace for you. Hope that all works out.
