[Rice'N Beckford]

Ok I need some help. Applied to a computer technician job for a school district out here in Los Angeles. They sent me an email saying there’s a test requirement and gave me links for practice and study guides. You guys know of any other sites?

Thank you

Udemy

Thanks to my gf, I have a pass to get a GCP class on Coursera for free and discounted price for the offical GCP cert...

I want to learn it for its own sake, but also for the fact it would give me a nice boost in salary, no matter what I do.

I just have no clue where to start.
I'm also gonna take some summer classes for an AA in Comp Sci...

Any tips for an absolute novice or any suggestions for classes I should take?

Help, brehs and brehettes...

Gahdamn Thats some call center ass shyt right there

Yoo did you ever pass your CISSP?

Nah, not yet

Hopefully before the year ends.

 

[Silkk]

Was your title different or something? Did you work late nights?

10-15 calls a day doesn’t sound too bad.

Nah, just depend on the company I guess.

Also, I always tried to limit calls by Skyping/Emailing mofos first

Anyone have good study materials for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification?

On instageam I keep seeing these ads for UC Berkley “executive education” online programs in Blockchain technologies and applications

Blockchain Technologies and Applications for Business

Anybody know if this is good to add to a resume or if its a waste of time/money?

Is a cert in blockchain essetials from a tech company like microsoft or IBM better/worse?

Thank you.

I passed the test. Rather easy i might say.

Now, the interview is next. Any of you have any ideas on type of questions they’ll ask for this position?

It’s computer tech for a school district. I was able to find some online. Just seeing if any of you have anything different to add.


Thank you
