Hey, my name is Mike and I live on Long Island. I am about to get my A+ this June and I need some help on where to go from there. I want to continue and get an MSCE. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what types of jobs to look for. I can handle anything along the lines of basic computer repair as of now, but eventually I would like to move up the IT ladder. Should I be looking for interships or something like that as a start?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you can afford it, an internship is a good place to start.

But first, go to your local unemployment office and search the databases there, they will have lots of entry level positions.

Also try the local electronics superstore, some have repair / diagnostic shops onsite. You can apply your knowledge there and shmooze small business types looking for computers. You might find your next leg up there. Look for a customer staring blankly at the network equipment and be helpful.

good luck!
