I mad defeated with the IT shit, interviews but no jobs...
- Thread starter totto
- Start date
I usually dont interact with non-members, but almost all entry-level IT work is offshored. If you're not experienced in 2024, its hard to get your foot in the door cause youre competing with cheap labor from India, Romania, and Costa Rica.
Man If you about hustling, I’m check on something clean up work in Florida…I heard it’s big money right quick
We need people with experience to fill these low level positions
Bout to get my CDL and drive a School Bus, I can't do this much longer I am losing my mind
I'm too old for this shit, I not young and I'm also not married with no kids
I am beyond depressed on a daily basis, I need to leave the state and go live in my car.
Heading to Georgia next week to talk to a old friend and see if they can assist me. They told me to come visit.
Fam what certs do have if any? I'm a NOC manager but I have hired people with no networking background. But I can tell in the interview if they are capable of learning in a timely manner.
are you looking for a job or a specific job? There’s a difference.. I’m pretty sure jobs are available but being specific narrows down your options.. maybe you need to stop being specific first, get something to at least put some money in your pocket than work on getting a specific position
USAJOBS. GOV. Government has plenty IT openings
IT is very broad. What exactly are you trying to do? What skills do you have?
I hate to hear this. It is tough out here. Trying to find a job and then battling depression on top of that. I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
All I can tell you is keep your head up and try to stay positive.
As someone said in jest, with AI it's likely just going to get worse for regular people who went to school for a job that the industry is going cheap, either AI or outsourcing.

battling depression and other shit and i went back to school and finished.
But I'm old so people look at it funny like damn what took you so long?
So I think it's best to call it a day and accept it, I'm too old to start over.
Network Operations and Security BS degree
CCNA
and COMPTIA Trifecta but S+ is about to expire
I worked alot of shit jobs and I don't put them on my resume
dm me CCNA
I'm over 40 though and black
I've been suffering from depression since I was a kid, felt sorry for myself, have a stutter and people disrespected me a lot
worked shit jobs for decades and decided I can go back to school so I went at a older age
But reality is different than all the fantasy, I'm probably better off in a small town, more realistic and the people are more regular and less educated
Might be better for me mentally.
If you are looking for a job nobody wants to hear that shit, just lie through your teeth and fake it till you make it.
If at first you don't succeed...
AIG is hiring 600 in the Atlanta area.
You gotta make it happen. They hire on their time not yours so keep your name out there.
You might not get it the first time you apply. Try try again. Tenacity gets rewarded eventually.
Good luck using that black hole of a website.
Keep ya head up family. Keep talking to folk, especially if they are good folk and don’t want anything from you. The best part about being in the valley is it shows you who your real friends are. Take note and hold those people close. I have a friend going thru a divorce and a job situation. We laughed about when we got kicked out of Nikki’s on Stewart ave for sitting next to the main stage and not tipping. Life can be grand if you pay attention.
I understand… I wrote my kid a letter last year and borrowed a line from Tommy Jakes to include in it. It was from an interview he gave, and it really resonated with me. I definitely don’t want them to waste their youth “25-40” the way I wasted mine… That 15 to 20-year window, when I should have been building assets and creating wealth, was wasted on creating liabilities. It’s time I’ll never get back.

I wasted mines and I admit that
But I will go to Georgia and see if I can feel better.
Those agencies normally hire from within. The most reliable option is LinkedIn. I got my SA job with the Army through them. Your profile must be appeasing.
I live in Snellville. When I moved here 8 years ago it was tough sledding finding a full-time IT position. Most jobs in the area are mostly temp. Create a LinkedIn account. You will see mad jobs there. Feel free to lie to make your resume look good. But you must have a industry certification. Start with Security +.
A CDL will definitely open up some doors.
I have that and it's about to expire
I have my A, S, N and never got a job.
I have two years in a SOC and fired the people were racist as fuck, and I didn't learn anything and was paid 15 a hour. signed a NDA without even knowing.
I've been losing my whole life, I needed a role model badly when I was young
I am old and tired man, let me go to Georgia and call it a day.
Can't do this shit anymore
