>>11164613I'll be straight with you, I haven't applied for a job on 15 years so anything I say is probably out of date and should be taken with a grain of salt. My advice, to learn the basics, get your A+ Cert, this doesn't mean much but it's a good source of knowledge if you don't know the basics. Then figure out what sector of IT you want to specialize in. Do you want to deal with infrastructure like I do and manage servers/workstations/network equipment, do you want to code, do you want to deal with cyber security? Once you figure out your particular area of interest, start focusing on that, I know the tech space is shrinking right now with mass layoffs and what not, but there are always entry level bitch boy jobs available, and if you can suck it out as a level 1 help desk monkey for s few years, and continually grow your knowledge base, you'll find something. But you need to start with your basics with an A+ Cert and if recommend take whatever available MCSE or Linux courses you can to learn the ins and outs of Windows and Linux.
