How can I get into the industry?
LockedI’m 35 and have always been interested in Information Technology and I am now pursuing this passion full time. I was told buy a friend that the A+ certification is a good first step so I bought the books studied and recently passed. I also recently started my own business, servicing home and small office computer systems. Unfortunately it’ll take a very long time for me to grow the business and I thought that maybe my best option is to find a job that will give me more hands on experience. The problem is that I can’t seem to get my foot in the door because of my lack of experience. I have been very succesful in my previous industry and have an impressive resume that shows how dedicated and hard working I am. I have gone on some interviews and even entry level positions are hard for me to get. Why?!? Am I doing something wrong. How am I going to get the experience if nobody gives me a chance?! Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for your input.
