Want To Get Into The I.t. Industry?

[niZmO_Man]

My company is currently looking to hire some young people who want to get into the I.T. industry. Both for Sydney and for Melbourne.

Why young? Because the starting pay is pretty low, but jumps quickly as you progress in your career

Must be reliable, fast learner, have good work ethics, and a drivers license+car.

The company deals with enterprise hardware (servers, big storage, etc.), so once you get settled into this part of the industry, you can make some big $$$.

Ideally you would be finishing TAFE or some sort of I.T. uni degree and want to start working. Training is provided by the company. If you have messed with computer hardware then you'll pick up the work very quickly.

PM me for more info.

Note: If this is against forum rules, I apologise. Feel free to delete this thread if so.

[oweban]

Support Engineer (Field services, i.e. go out and fix stuff).

Deal mainly with servers, but also deal with storage (disks, tapes) and other enterprise equipment.

If you have a certification/qualification in an OS or device (e.g. CCNA, AIX/Solaris admin), feel free to contact me.

P.S. I'm not a recruiting person, I work for this company lol. I'm trying to get locals into our technical team.

Hey sorry for going a bit off topic but do you have any advice for someone trying to get into the I.T industry?

Im 24 and have spent most my time in construction but i can't stand it anymore and want to get into something that i enjoy and that has some career prospects.

[dont_ask]

For Nissan nutter do a certificate and diploma at tafe would be a good start I knew plenty of student similar to u now either in university with me or work in the information technology full time now

[niZmO_Man]

As above, look at doing a TAFE course, then you'll have to find an entry level job with a low pay. After you get some experience, you can get more certs/get a better paying job and start specialising in an area (networking, hardware, operating system, applications).

[dont_ask]

Hey Nizmo_man if they do decide on opening up a part time position let me know i would be keen.

Also Christmas break is approaching so full time is okay until next year when university starts.

Plus I can work everyday except Monday

Depends what you want to do, for instance I am in programming, and if that was your field of interest, I would say pick a language and build something/do some open source software, if your interest is hardware I would suggest tafe or something as it's not as easy to "just do something" in hardware.

Sounds ineteresting. I don't have any of the CCNA stuff but I do have a Bachelor in computer science. Also located in Sydney and currently working night shifts. If you think I may be suited PM me man ill send you a resume. My strongest points in IT are hardware support, software support and software development(my course was oriented around software development but Ive also got a cert 4 in programming and a advanced dimploma in software development which did cover hardware shit).
