So she got my resume to the senior recruiter and after talking to him on the phone, he wants me to come for an interview tomorrow. 
Hope it works out for you cause you got an inside plug butRobert Half
They with the fukkery?
Early in my career before i knew better, id get a call from one of their recruiters telling me they have several positions that id be qualified for and come in to talk to them. Get there and all you do is fill out paperwork(even tax forms) and talk to the recruiter who called you in about your background etc.. Its like they were just getting peoples info and filing it. Never to hear from them again or even a response when you call. I hope they have changed since then.
Sounds like some bullshyt. I’m not too invested because I doubt they’re gonna come close to what I make right now if they even offer me something, but I still wanna get my feet wet seeing how the process goes.
Yo you a bold as nikka
They ever ask you about any of that shyt? I know embellishing resumes ain't anything new, but I take it easy on adding shyt that can comeback and bite me in an interview.
Although, I guess if you know enough you can slide on through.

But if I do I make sure I have a few days to learn it
The Message
Lex with tv sets the minimum
is this advice still applicable?For those looking to break into the field.
My advice:
Start out by acquiring a helpdesk job at a webhosting company (hostgator/cpanel..etc) They train you and you can gain experience from there... the pay starts at like $10.50/hr...you can move up quick.. get your A+ cert and you're good.
Once you're there for 2-3 years you can move into more of a network admin role.
That's what I did
I worked at Hostgator for 2 years as a lvl. 2 helpdesk tech, A+ certified, Network+ certified, now I'm an assistant network admin/IP telephony admin/desktop support tech for a retail electric provider.
Also my Undergrad major has absolutely NOTHING to do w/ IT..just goes to show Experience goes a long way in the IT field.
Hope this helps brehs.
is this advice still applicable?
Yes, get a help desk job and stay for a year while getting your CCNA and sec+. Then start looking for a jr. network admin position.
