in IT Jobs / Degrees
Staffing agency calls me up and tells me they have a warehouse position that pays 11/hr and its 40 hours a week the company is Triumph .The 1st day at lunch break one of the big guys in the office if they have a I.T staff or team and whatnot he was like bring your resume in the morning and we'll get you going, I didnt believe him at first, Next morning the network systems administrator pulls me over and asks me about "Network infrastructure" , maping drives', managing networks etc. For the past 2 days ive been managing the network system and repairing laptops for the company, he says its currently an internship, but could progress into a full time job. I never thought id see this day. i know it isnt much but at least my feet are getting wet :)

    Sounds like a good start to me. They must be impressed with your knowledge if you are already allowed to touch the network. :D

    Either way, its something to put on the resume. We all know employers want to see experience.
