Does a Data Entry job consider any IT expereience that i can put on my resume?

faintingheart

Hi found some Volunteermatch listing for Data Entry. I'm trying to build my resume from scratch right now. I am thinking about doing it this job, but does it count for any IT experience?

scaredoftests

Data Entry? No. It is only job experience...

faintingheart

Would it look good on my resume? even though I'm trying to make my resume IT focus?

scaredoftests

Well, that you worked.

faintingheart

So hard to find IT volunteer jobs. I only found a handful (3-4). It's so rare or something.

Data Entry is absolutely ZERO for true IT experience. Look for jobs in Desktop Support. Not help desk, but desktop support. Reloading OS's on computers. Installing programs, backing up and restoring user files, repairing PC's, installing printers, etc. That's your first step to get real IT experience.

So Helpdesk and Desktop are two different type of jobs? I thought it was the same i was wrong.

scaredoftests

totally different. Data Entry is administrative/office work. Help Desk is phone support (at least for the tier 1) Desktop support you are face to face with the customer and the desktop (or remote)

faintingheart

And the customers (from Desktop support) are usually in the company that your working for right? So if i work at Acme inc then i would serve employee from Acme inc, is that correct?

scaredoftests

It all depends if the person is a contractor or hired directly with the company. What does that have to do with Data Entry? LOL

faintingheart

Hey look at this listing. Does it counts as IT experience? I might apply if the answer is yes.

Seriously? Take it, if you can afford it.
