Advice wanted 4 a Part time job

sunny_evander

Hey folks

I am from sydney - Olympic City (Australia) and currently in 2nd year in Bachelor of science in IT. As i planned that when i will get CCNA certification i will apply for a part time/Casual job to gain some experience.

But things dint go according to plan (as usual) and i was able to pass just CCNA intro and failed ICND (once-dint go for the second time yet - coz of course workload at Uni).And i dont have any previous job experience in IT (I worked at McDonald's though 6 months ago )

So i planned enough of these McDonald's Job and i want some IT job for experience... How much money i get is not that important at this point of time.

And some time i think or career change. I would like to join NSW police after i finish my Bachelor's in IT as firstly there is a job gaurantee throughout life...and fixed + nice salary where as in IT anyday my boss can come and tell me "pack your bags - company closes tomorrow " or "you are fired".

I know you people out there have real life experiences. So any advice would be helpful.

thanks

why not try to get into IT and if that fails turn to the police job as a backup?

you might have to start out doing helpdesk/entry level stuff for a few years until you increase your skills/experience...if you are having trouble landing a paid job doing helpdesk, have you considered volunteering?

I havent considered volunteering YET.... but for the paid job everywhere i apply either i get no response or "this position is already filled" . Thats y i am fed up of IT job hunt and wanted a career change after i finish my Bsc In IT.
