This threat is probably pretty repetitive compared to everyone else’s who is looking for new work. But, I’m having quite a problem. I’m 25, been out of school almost 4 years with a degree in MIS, and did two relevant IT internships in college. Presently, I’ve been with the same company for the past 3 years and its time to move on. Its a small company without about 60 workstations and 5 servers. I run the whole infrastructure including setup, maintenance, etc. right down to doing all of the cabling. Also, I manage and maintain the phone system too.
I know I’m young. But, as far as real-time experience I think I’m pretty well versed. I can say with some confidence that I’m pretty competent. I just don’t have paper saying I did these things.
But, I can’t seem to find another job. Before, I was at the company I’m with now, I spoke to a job hunting consultant and he told me was to shave my goatee, which didn’t get me a job by the way.
Any advice for someone in my position looking to take the next step into either more advanced network administration or analysis.
