My advice for someone new in IT is to learn fundamentals. It's important to understand how things talk to each other. Networking and osi model has always been super helpful to me when I worked IT Support. It's also important to understand operating system and hardware. For example, in a work environment. You may see windows 10 pro or windows 10 enterprise. You won't see windows 10 home because that's for home use only. On a window 10 pro/enterprise operating system. You can join it to the domain and manage it using active directory and group policy. Once you have a good understanding on fundamentals. You can work on building a home lab to showcase your skills and experience and throw that to your resume. Try to figure out what you want to do and try to network with other individuals by going to conference events. Remember that everyone has their own unique success story on how they broke into tech.

Thank you Kevin, may I want to tell us about interview? Which subjects are important? And what's different between IT-SPECIALIST or IT support or help desk 🤔

10moThe importance of building a home network lab is making it VIRTUAL using VMs in free VirtualBox or Hyper-V in Win 10/11 Pro/Enterprise versions. Inside VirtualBox, you can install a MS Windows Server 2019/2022 trial version VM to practice creating a domain, working with Active Directory and Group Policy. Install a MS Win 7 PRO, Win 8.1 PRO, Win 10 PRO, and Win 11 PRO VMs then join them to your new domain and add to AD. You can even install Ubuntu Linux or Linux Mint VM and practice joining to the Windows Domain if you're adventurous enough! The real world nowadays builds networks and joins remote computers to domains in the Cloud (think MS Azure and AWS). The old school "on-premises" MS Windows Server and AD is still used out there just not as much anymore.
