First Day at the new job yesterday. Finally got through the clearance process. Here's a mini run-down...
It was a lot of fun, but boy there is a world of difference between IT and Night Audit (hospitality), and I see the most difference in the way management manages. I swear I'm finally being treated like an adult and not a kid!
Talking to my shift lead at the new gig, I told him of my certification plan and he said that he doesn't put much weight into certifications because he feels like all you do is just read a book and pass a test. I can agree on some fronts but I got this job because of my A+ and so ironically so did he. Don't know if that's going to sway me from going for my CISCO certs.
LOTS of room for growth I see. In a month, my PM said she'll post my resume on the job board for the company and walk me around to the other APM's in order see if I would be a good fit in another department. (New Department = more pay, yay!) So good, so far and I can tell if you just put some time in, IT can be very rewarding. Just a little inspiration for those who are just getting started like me, or are looking for something in this field.
Cheers!
