Hey there,
Haven't been posting in quite awhile, mostly because I've been in school working on a degree. I've progressed enough where I am ready to find a job in the IT Sector.
Here is my story:
I'm working on a degree in Information Technology: Network Design and Management.
I have the following certifications:
A+
Network+
Security+
CIW Associates
CIW Web
CIW Javascript
CCENT
In the coming months, I will begin working on Project+ as well as my MCTP in Windows 7 Config, and the MTAs.
In the next year, I will be working on MCITP: Enterprise Administrator
I have three years experience supporting a school community in break/fix, software installs, active directory, Web site management, hardware installs, software/hardware training, etc. Support was done over the phone, in person, and remotely.
I have my initial bachelors in Music Education, and a Masters in Educational Computing. I think when employers see this, they just stop reading my resume, but I'm not sure.
I feel I'm pretty qualified for something right above entry level, but I'm having trouble even getting interviews, and it's funny---there are quite a few IT jobs around Buffalo.
Any suggestions by anyone on how to grab an advantage here?
