Just wanted to let you know, that as I was preparing for a Help Desk interview (for the first time), I watched about 3 of your Help Desk videos... Am here to tell you as of yesterday, I was offered the position!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE TIPS AND THE INSIGHT YOU BROUGHT WAS AMAZING AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!. .much love from UPT
@@Queen-ConsciousYa .... CompTIA Security+ is better especially if you wanna get into Cybersecurity as a SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst L1. And like the lady said, you dont need to rack up certifications for jobs. Most companies need that hands-on experience. You just have to move smart about things when trying to land that 1st role in cybersecurity.
So I work from home doing remote I.T. and I swear I be bored and lonely at home but I watch your videos on my huge television and now feel like you are my coworker making my day go by faster with these videos lol. Thank you!
I work for a college in the IT department, with only a High School Deploma started off as a Help Desk Technician in 2012, moved up to a Senior Help Desk Technician in 2021. Being that in my organization there's only one Senior Help Desk Technician position so it was a waiting game to advance my career. Now here is the truth you really do not need to have any certifications or a college degree. But being that the college will pay for my tuition you might as well take advantage of it while you can. Experience is key and always wanting to learn more as technology evolves you will succeed in your career.
Is there a reason why it took 9 years for you to get a promotion? Or did you move up positions and the senior help desk position was like the highest position you could get?
@@202WinkProductions np. After college will start looking into it and most likely leave being a KP and start in help desk. My question is will they allow me to go to university. So a part time job? I am getting btech level 3 one last year for me.
Great information your info gave me some insight as someone who currently holds the A+ certification and haven't had any luck thus far. Experience is a big factor is what I am starting to learn. I started throwing everything and anything I have done tech related. I currently do web design services for two small businesses while also providing them some basic technical support like repairing their devices, troubleshooting software and hardware, hardware upgrades, etc.
My college STC is doing the things you said with techinical school, I think I would rather have a bachelors degree for more room in what I decide to work in. But this is where I would love to start
Thanks. IIm in college for cybersecurity. You just told me my idea is a good one. I have a computer store that i buy all my computer stuff from, and im gonna holla at him. Atleast be able to put him on my resume. This my first year of school and im working on my core 2, but with that on my resume im definitely be able to get right on in. You're the shit. I appreciate your content
@@202WinkProductions What are some other job titles that are help desk but not called help desk? I'm finding a lot of employers call it differently even though it's the same job.
I'm loving your videos. I have a degree in IT in Brazil, but very little experience, I'm afraid of not being good. I moved to Canada and was thinking of trying again with the help desk. Thanks
I moved to nebraska and applied for business csr and did it for 5 months then applied for it supprt analyst with no certs I got blessed for that alot people haters don't tell u how to get in this world love this video
Appreciate your advice I got comptia security+ and actively looking for a help desk technician position to gain experience. This gave me hope to keep searching.
I have an interview this coming Thursday, this is the third video of your channel (thank you) i watch about IT Job, now i have more confidence and feel a little bit more prepare for that interview. I'm just a little nervous because this job can change the quality of my life (about salary) and provide me good experience for my future degree.
I love people in the comments that are speaking from experience of being offered positions with out having certifications, but unfortunately, as of today, things are kind of locked up for you if you don’t have a certification. I even have a degree in it still not enough for some people. Almost like I didn’t even study anything.
You’re so cool 😎. I’m about to start taking a boot camp for computer user specialist with ACI Learning (usmc any of y’all are wanting to do that too, tell them Elizabeth adams in San Antonio TX recommended you! Help a girl out lol.) I am wanting to look for an internship to work 2 days out of the week. I’ll try a computer repair shop. Thank you so much for this video!!! 😊
I live in the DMV area. Currently working as a Security Guard but im currently working on my Sec+. Already got A+ and Net+ plus Googles IT Support. Its been extremely hard to even get interviews in the DMV. Some of the requirements for entry level jobs are insane.
SysAdmin here. Apply to those jobs even if you think youre underqualified. You would be surprised how many IT managers are willing to hire someone chill with a proven willingness to learn even if they dont have 100% of the skills needed.
I already graduated with a math degree so it's most likely impossible to get an internship since it caters to undergrads or students without a bachelor degree.
Hi! I'm currently active duty military and doing an IT boot camp to help me with my transition for the civilian sector. I got my A+ certification last week! I also do have an active security clearance as well. I noticed you posted this video a year ago but did you get your A+ cert?
Hey great video. Great content. I’m trying to break into IT. I watched a video from Travis media talk about his story working dead end jobs before going to a coding boot camp. I never heard of CTI until now. Do you still recommend it? Or was it a waste? My mom went to medex over 40 years ago for dental assistant and she raised a family off of trade school. She’s been a nurse now for 20 years.
I’ve been working at a help desk job for the last four years, but not in the U.S …..what are the chances of a U.S company hiring me for a remote I. T help desk job, is it likely if I work remotely from my home country….
I just got my security+ about 2 weeks ago and I’m having a really hard time even getting an interview. The last only interviews I’m getting offered are accounting positions but that’s not what I want and I’m wondering if maybe my resume isn’t reflecting what role I want to be in

@@miketechsecurityi need help badly . im midway through getting my ITF+ certification but im trying to land a level 1 helpdesk job now haha idk im lost
Are you able to get an internship without being a student somewhere...i have a bachelor's in computer science but i have no experience but when i looked up internships the only ones that are available in my area is only for college students? How are you able to get an internship without being a student?
Hey, thanks for the videos! I live in VA, few hours from DC. All the jobs I see require Secret Clearance but I don't have that. What jobs should I be looking for?
Most defence contractors require clearance, but not all. I would look for something in the private sector, a company that does IT, but not for the Gov.
Soft skills is a huge one. You can be the best technician or support specialist, but if you can't effectively communicate with your team or people you're helping, you're going to have a bad time in the job. You don't need to be extroverted and make friends with everyone, but it is important to communicate well with other people.
What's the name of your particular It position? Is is it help desk because I'm under the impression that helpdesk is call center. You're job looks super chill!

@@202WinkProductions well currently I work as a postal worker, BUT this was only done to gain experience to become a postal inspector which is a federal agent.

Hi, good information! Are the computers you work from a windows or Mac? Also, I have a Mac, would me getting windows computer help me learn more about help desk?? Thanks new sub 🍎
Can you intern at night or on the weekends or one day a week? What’s the best way to intern when you have to also still make money while trying to switch lanes in your career?o
i’m a freshman track athlete on scholarship, what degrees do you recommend? .. i’m not really good at math will that be a problem, if so what other degrees would you might recommend?
From my research so far if you’re asking about tec jobs look into Information Science, compliance analyst. Outside of Tec., Nursing( yes, from what I see, men are living dreams as nurses now.), plus look at it/nursing combo-work from home, good money and no patients.
To add to 202's answer, when someone has a tech problem, the ideal thing is for them to put in a ticket. In the ticket, they put in a description of the problem and what they have already tried. That way, you as a technician know who needs tech help and what they need help with. Otherwise if you get calls and emails and people coming up to you saying they need help, it gets very difficult to organize your work. With a ticket system, you have a list of stuff you need to work on based on priority.
she went to school, put in the time & effort, did an unpaid internship, EARNED this position, & put this video up to help others. it seems you missed step 1.
