Looks Like Things Are Slowly Getting Better

I finally went and took my A+ Certification test.

And I Passed!!!!

I have been pretty slow in studying for it. I actually started last year in January and procrastinated till a month ago and finished up my online courses. I guess I just needed a little motivation from the fact that I have a child on the way.

With this certification I can get a entry level job in the IT field. Which can lead to great things. But just like any other job I have to start out at the bottom and work my way up.

Now I just gotta find someone who is willing to hire someone with no experience... It seems everyone wants someone with experience, so where does that leave people who don't have a foot in the door yet?!

some jobs want people who don't have any so good luck, with people who are trained they have to pay them more. someone like you will work for less

Thanks for posting to Point Taken. Have a great night!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

My friend got her certification several years ago and ended up finding a local company that needed a few things done on a part time basis and she was able to do small things for several different companies so that she had some history in the field.

I hope something like that comes up for me!
