    I would go with the small copany if you had the chance, I was in the same situation (worked for a printer reseller) even though it wasn't stricly ALL computer related most of the time it was. It also helped me reinforce my learning of A+ and Network+. Eventually that lead to the great ob I have now!

    Yah I don't think I have much of a chance but if he calls I'm willing to give it my all...

    Having the degree helps, but it isn't the be all end all. There's a reason why you made it to the interview.
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    My first job in IT was with the GeekSquad. So many people under estimate the amount of experience I gained in that position. The main point is how you sell the position. Once I get the chance to explain what I learned the respect tends to grow.

    How did you land your GeekSquad job? Via application online? Knowing someone? And did you have to start on the sales floor or did you work for best buy and just transfer to GeekSquad?
