Most of you being IT Professionals, I figure I can get the best help right here. Here’s my situation.
They say the early bird catches the worm. Well, I hope I’m not too early. Here’s my dilemma. I’m currently a 33 year old CIS major with a minor in web design. I’m just in my early stages of my web design classes and haven’t scratched the surface with any of my IT classes. I’m a full time rotating shift machine operator with no IT experience on my resume.
The questing is how can I somehow go about finding an employer and saying that I?m a new student, with no experience, but would like to gain some valuable experience by spending some time at your company? Learning about servers, the language, and everything else I should know. Sort of like an intern or something I guess.
I mean I am computer literate, more experienced then most administrative assistants with MS Office and even type 45wpm. So I wouldn?t be a complete dunce when it comes to computers like I have seen…I hope.
How would I even go about doing a cover letter? Or should I just wait for my IT classes to start??? I will be attending an IT networking event this coming Thursday here in Savannah Ga, and I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks
