I'd actually love to swap jobs with a few people in corporate IT who complain about their jobs being too mundane as I can think of ways to keep myself busy (like figuring out ways to automate mundane and repetitive tasks). In any event, I'm wondering what's the best way to search as the market for IT seems pretty dry and simultaneously high bar over here. I consistently see ads put out on Indeed seeking entry level Help Desk positions with Windows Server 2016 or MCSA or a Bachelor's in CS as requirements, which makes me think we have ignoramus recruiter problems here who don't understand anything at all about IT. At the same time I'm finding that going to individual company websites almost always only include positions for their industry itself. I know of a client of ours who have 2 IT guys whom I would describe as low skill for what they do and went to their website and only found positions for insurance agents and the like, which is what they do. Nothing for IT. On bank websites I might find positions which are too high bar for me like IT director or manager or team lead. Nothing I would want to get in anyway. It does make me wonder how some of these folks whom I would consider to be incompetent at IT even got their jobs to begin with and where do I line up? Even some of these IT job fairs seem like a joke as they come across as more of a PR stunt rather than a genuine attempt to recruit anyone. I was hoping to get a level of promotion so I can have a strong resume before moving Stateside and looking for a job there, but it sounds more and more like I need to save up money and go straight there from Help Desk at an MSP.
