I've been in IT for many years now as a Network Engineer and now a CyberSecurity Analyst ( i was a former Desktop). I worked in 3 Fortune 500 Companies, In each company I did a fair amount of Interviewing candidates for Jr and Associate roles due to my background in Sales and Teaching and HR liked to get my feedback before hiring. I'd like to give some advice and guidance on some of the recently graduated and recently certified, or recently laid off and are looking for a new direction/career.
IMO : You should always decide on a career only if you have the motivation to do it day in and day out. Have a genuine Interest in Computers, Be Curious how Technology Works, Desire to learn New Technology (like Cloud/AI), Know Data/Storage, Understand Digital Communication. All of these qualities gives meaning and a purpose for you to work and study, and it will make all of the difference in your overall happiness and well being on the job as you work in Tech.
That being said, here is my recommendation on getting the job and skills tech folk look for in hiring you :
-You must possess Knowledge of How Computers work and How to fix Basic Problems, Knowledge of How a Business Works (High Level), and Why IT is needed to support a Business.
-A good candidate should be Skilled in Troubleshooting, Deductive and Investigating Thinking, Typing/Navigating an OS, Writing and Presenting Information, Programming (nice to have), Imagination (often times you cannot see abstract technology), and Physical Handling of Equipment and Tools.
-Finally, and most importantly, the ability to communicate, gather information from ambiguity, stay calm in stress, and find creative effective solutions to technical problems. Emphasis on this because these skills will be invaluable both in presenting yourself on an interview and in day-to-day work.
This communication includes your Resume, remember to read the role, format your resume to highly the preferred qualities as succinctly as possible. If you are at a Networking Event or meetup, this can also translate to how you present yourself to a headhunter or a professional. To interview with us (the tech folk) you will unfortunately need to make it past HR and the software they use to rank resumes. Once you do that, if you can highlight the characteristics mentioned above, you should easily get the job!
Let me know if you have any Questions, Happy to answer! You can also email me at [admin@roamingviews.com](mailto:admin@roamingviews.com) if you do not want to post publicly.
Also I specifically Interview for Network Engineering and Cybersecurity roles, but I have listed some useful questions you can get asked in any IT interview here , it is way too much to paste in a post, but feel free to check it out and share if its useful as you interview prep :)
