what kinda time inbetween? and what is your experience?
cheeblie
About 2 - 3 weeks in between, and I have no actual job experience at the moment, but I have been using computers since I was 2. All my certifications have actually gotten me some interviews lately, and I actually think I have found a job. Interview was today, and it went really well

Just trying to see what is available out there.

Would your avatar happen to be maynard james keenan of TOOL?
cheeblie
It's a Field PC Technician job. I'm not quite sure about the pay, but the owner says that they just switched to half commission/half salary based pay and the employees have noticed a 20% to 25% increase in pay. I'm guessing the money will be around $30,000 (Can't be sure of that though). The company has been around 14 years, and they have quite an extensive client base. Oh, and yes, that's Maynard. Are you a Tool fan?

Tool Is the best band in the world. Second would be Perfect Circle.
Us computer nerds gotta have some kinda identity crisis right??
pandimus

cheeblie
Yes, Tool is the best band. I've been to three concerts. It's the only concert worth paying for. They're so good live!
