first day of my 3 week contract is in the books

working at a high school, and I'm pretty sure I saw some of these PAWG jail bait looking at me .

I don't want those problems officer.

Also I'm probably the youngest tech in the group by like 20 years

I wrote an updated starting point post a while back, but I can't remember what page it's on.

Cliff Notes: A+ --> Try to get a help desk job --> Net+* --> MCSA: Windows 10 and OSX Support Essentials^ cert --> try to help desk job --> After getting your first job decide what IT path you wanna go and study in that direction.

*Some people argue that you don't have to get this cert; just know the material. Full disclosure: I don't have it
^Might only be necessary in NYC, LA, maybe Chicago and Boston. At the very least just read up on troubleshooting Macs and startup commands for them (Ex: How to do boot into safe mode and when to do so)

I read through this entire thread this past week and this man was on to something

I know for 100% fact these indians look out for each other like what he's describing below

I like this topic but the thing I don't understand is this:

How did I go to school for a 4 year degree and pay for Certification exams.
And the first thing people say in here is to find an entry-level help desk job that pays a max of $15 in the US? And grind for how many years before I can move up or risk getting laid off?

I want to know how to hustle these stupid recruiters into giving me the same gigs that these clueless foreigners get!

I know for a fact that these Asians and Arabs in IT work on the buddy system and coach each other on how to handle different aspects of software and applications. THEY ARE NOT EXPERTS any more than I am.

People say network network, but most people I know cant even relate to advanced IT subjects like I can, and most people are not trying to help me advance if I did get hired.

People nowadays don't respect a person who stay quiet and get quiet money in IT. They only rock with people who are loud and popular. What can I put on my application to defeat the online Taleo applications screeners?

I appreciate all the info, BUT I NEED TO FIND some concrete strategy, I'm trying to come up the honest way instead of faking my way through.

A+, CCNA, Windows Server, some rookie level Java experience, and I always deal with Linux, and Mac Lion OS, I know mobile applications as far as jailbreaking every smartphone I have ever had. I have been experimenting with Oracle, VMware, and different security protocols.

I am not a one man start-up company. I think we need to start our own IT ponzi scheme to promote all our skill levels, fake references, job titles and the whole deal. I am the type to help people without expecting something in advance, but I really do need that type of boost to jump start my own hustle.
