Hello All, I am new to this site using but I hope you guys would be able to help me out. Recently I have completed my degree in Bsc Hons Business Computing and IT where I have obtained a 2.1. I want to pursue a career as an IT technician in west midlands region. Coming just out of education I am not been given a chance by employers. I only have one years work experience which I undertook as part of my gap year as an ICT support officer in public sector. In this position I learn't about Active Directory, Windows NT, 2000 and 2003, setting up printers, restoring files, VPN setup and backing up servers. I was hoping you guys would be able to point me in the right direction of any employers out there looking to offer trainee or junior positions in the west midlands region to people like me who have just come out of education. I am a quick learner; I pick up new skills very quickly and I can assimilate new products and service information very quickly. Any advice or help will be much appreciated or pm me on [email protected]

Hello people, just joined on here and just started a new career as an ICT Technician in a School. I was told to join this website as it was a good place for information but I wondered if anyone could direct me to any other websites that offer any training or info on any of the things I may be covering. I'm totally new to IT so any acronyms may confuse me. I would like to learn more about the network side of things like windows server, and I would like to know more about switches and cabling or anything you may recommend. Also one of the things that bug me a little is when teachers come to me with an issue about not being able to play a video, a file corrupting or just something everyday that end users seem to have trouble with. Just so you know I am going to be enrolled on a course in september but it would still be valuable to have some good websites to help someone who its just starting out. Regards Aaron
