Should companies hire only individuals who have the qualifications of the position they are hiring for? In my honest opinion, the answer is no. This even applies to the entry level positions. What are the requirements? 2 to 4 years of experience! For entry level? I myself went from my first Tech jobs as a tier 3 helpdesk technician to a senior windows server admin in under 6 years with much less experience in all areas. I have gone into every job I have ever had completely blind of what to do. To top that off, how many interviews did I have to go through? I only interviewed for 2 jobs that I have ever had and that was my 1st and 3rd IT Job. What happens when you take a chance on someone and hire them? They learn the job and gain the experience. We do not always need to be trained. Sometimes, people learn differently. In my own case, I learn the job and what to do by doing the job daily. These hiring practices of denying people just because they do not have what you want needs to end. Give us all a chance and you will see that you did not make a mistake!

The Assignment: To identify a Senior Helpdesk Technician with engineering capabilities. The role encompassed managing endpoint tools, creating provisioning packages for diverse systems (Windows, Mac, iOS), scripting, providing helpdesk support, and automating manual processes. The Challenge: A deluge of unvetted resumes overwhelmed the hiring manager, hindering efficient candidate evaluation. Lengthy processes resulted in the loss of potential candidates to faster-moving opportunities. Lack of automation expertise within the existing team led to manual workflows, reducing helpdesk efficiency. Role expectations surpassed the Helpdesk Technician title, causing salary and title misalignments with potential candidates. Limited interview autonomy for team members impacted cohesive team dynamics.

Answers: https://lnkd.in/gVR8kb8s #JobSearch #ITCareers #Certification #Helpdesk #TriangleNC Hey everyone! 😊 So, I just found myself in a tough spot. After 4 years as a tier 2 helpdesk specialist, I was recently let go along with others from my team. It’s a bit of a shock, to say the least! 😟 Here’s a quick rundown of my background: ⚙️ **Experience**: 4 years in tech support 🎓 **Degree**: BS in IT 🔒 **Certifications**: Sec+ (working on getting the CCNA) 📍 **Location**: Living in the Triangle, NC Now, I’ve been looking around at job openings, and honestly, the job market feels pretty grim right now. The positions available are quite limited, and I’m worried that finding something at my current level might be a challenge. 😕 Also, I’m not keen on dropping down to a tier 1 role. Here are a couple of things I’m considering: 🔄 **Updating LinkedIn**: Should I add an end date for my last job right away? 📚 **CCNA Focus**: I wish I was further along with the CCNA, but I’m just starting out. Now that I have some extra time, should I prioritize that? I think it ...

KU IT's NOC is hiring a night shift lead. Here's the link for those Operations types in my connections, who also have flexible circadian rhythms. (And yes, for the 455th time, I had to look up spelling of "rhythm." If you know how to spell that word, you might be part of the problem. It makes absolutely no sense. Does mentioning this help KU find a new employee? Probably not. And why does the job posting specifically say, "work schedule does not overlap with John's"? That seems a little specific and mean-spirited. Anyway, Rock Chalk!) https://lnkd.in/g8NVtjyu
