Took me 9 months but I finally....

GOT HIRED!! I will be starting Monday! The position is a Help Desk Analyst (possible moving to Network Tech in the coming months) for an outsourced IT company for not for profits and charter schools around the area and in the city. Starting pay $40k + benefits, the real beauty of it is the office is less than 10 miles away from my house so I don't have to bother commuting via public transportation. I interviewed with them 3 TIMES (once with the CEO so I could tell they liked me) and I got the call after the 3rd interview this afternoon.

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!

Congrats and well done.

Good job

Congratulations!

woohooo!!

Congratz!

Sweet gig. Teachers, by large, are a hard working bunch; I don't doubt the nonprofit folks would be no different.

Enjoy your job and "keep on learning".

Do they provide a company car? Maybe I missed that from your post.

Congrats! I hope to be joining you soon. I'm just waiting for a background check to clear before it's official. The waiting is the hardest part.

No unfortunately they don't provide a company car but they do provide free educations services (learning materials, books, lab work, training vids the works) so I will be sure to soak up as much as possible

Training is better than a car.

I just meant transportation when you run around town trying to fix things, unless you can fix everything remotely which would be killer.

Congrats on the hire!

Hey all,

I started this week so I haven't been able to tell you how it was the first day. The first day was very busy for the help desk because we work with a lot of charter schools so school just started this past week. I love the job already, the co-workers are very down to earth and friendly and these guys are smart. The guy that was training taught me a lot of stuff on monitoring (pretty sophisticated monitoring system) and how they go about the process of remote support. About 90% of the support is the use of remote VPN access to the workstation/virtual server so that helps a lot. It is definitely a new and challenging experience for me. I didn't do a lot of work, it was mostly observing how the business operates, and I assisted with some tickets and in-house hardware repairs. This week I start off on my own...hope I do well
