I did it! First I.T. Job Ever
Today I was offered a job as a Digital Technology Support Specialist at a local heavy vehicle manufacturing plant. I accepted the offer. Early in July of this year, I opened ChatGPT and asked "Give me a list of 100 good paying manual labour jobs in [my area]." It gave me a list of 100 jobs. None of which I was interested in. But, I told the AI my situation "I’ve worked as a line cook, PSW, DSW, and tutor for students with developmental disabilities, but after 10 years in support work, I went back to cooking. My current job doesn’t pay enough to support a family, and I want a better-paying role with benefits but hope to avoid more student debt." One of the jobs listed was IT support / entry-level tech. I thought to myself, 'hey I could do that.' In three and a half months: 1 certification 45 applications 1 phone interview 2 in-person interviews 1 job offer (accepted) Three and a half months of applying to jobs every week, studying for CompTIA exams everday, learning labs and recording videos about my home lab every week, and eventually getting my first I.T. certification. Proud of myself. Now the real fun begins.
I did it! First I.T. Job Ever
🔥 Skills Alone Won’t Get You Hired
I see people grinding certifications for months 😵‍💫 Learning Linux 🐧 Learning Python 🐍 Building labs 💻 …but still getting zero interviews. 🚫 Why? Because employers don’t hire “knowledge.” They hire perceived value. 📈 If your resume looks weak, your projects are invisible, and your positioning is bad… nobody cares how much you studied. That’s why I tell people to stop obsessing over collecting skills and start focusing on strategy. 🎯 Your resume matters. Your portfolio matters. Your ability to present yourself matters. The people getting hired fastest usually aren’t the smartest. They’re the ones who know how to position themselves correctly. ⚡ Comment "POSITIONING" and I’ll DM you how to position yourself. 🚀
🚫 Skipping Helpdesk Is Why You're Stuck
I see this mistake all the time 😬 Everyone says they want to skip helpdesk and go straight into cybersecurity 💻 But what they don’t realize is that mindset is exactly what keeps them stuck I used to think the same thing 🤦‍♂️ I thought helpdesk was “below me” and not worth my time But the reality is… it’s not about the role, it’s about the SKILLS you’re avoiding Most people don’t lack opportunity 🚪 They lack fundamentals like networking, troubleshooting, and systems thinking 🧠 Helpdesk forces you to build those fast ⚡ And without them, you’re guessing your way through cybersecurity So instead of skipping steps, I focused on building the right foundation 🧱 That’s what actually got me interviews and offers Comment "FOUNDATION" and I’ll DM you the roadmap I used.
