IT Employment

All of us had a first job in IT at some point.

Help desk jobs or preferably a desktop tech job to get 6 months to 2 years experience behind you would help. Even if the job conditions are not ideal, get some experience on your resume.

While you are in that entry level job, take every opportunity that comes up, for training, expanding your knowledge etc. Some companies like mine try to mandate that each employee take 40 hours of training a year. Look for one of those.


And keep studying independantly as well.

You may want to repost this as a Discussion. Your question doesn't have a definite technical answer, and is more philosophical. There's a different, more opinionated crowd on the Discussions side, and you may get a better range of answers.

Thanks for your military service. I'd give you an opinion but I'm not familiar with the job market or training available in the U.K.
