| 1172810 | 2011-01-28 05:58:00 | Have you looked at place like fujixerox, canon, those sort of places. Lots of hardware support needed there, networking, usually on the road at clients. Good coin and company car to boot. To be fair you would probably start in the workshop | plod (107) | ||
| 1172811 | 2011-01-28 06:23:00 | Well hoping so with .. workshop. Telephone work just doesn't fit with my psychology type. When I worked in CSR for 3 months I couldn't wait to get out. It was like the work was so repetitive sometimes I had a habit of saying the same thing but it was wrong. Someone is keeping an eye out but she did admit at the mo there are more helpdesk jobs out there for grads. Just out of interests. Those of you who work in IT. How often are you studying part time getting your other skills and your other certs? Are you like engagede 2/3 of the year like that or .... |

| 1172812 | 2011-01-28 07:34:00 | We have a company mandated minimum number of hours we must spend doing professional development each year - it is one of the KPIs we must meet during our performance reviews. All of us are constantly learning on the job (there's always something new to learn, even for the most senior employees), plus there are opportunities to attend workshops/training courses, sit exams/certifications etc. If a certification or exam is relevant to what the company does, then they will pay for the cost of the exam and allow us to sit it during work hours. | somebody (208) | ||
| 1172813 | 2011-01-28 08:41:00 | there is a huge difference between csr and helpdesk. Both r help desk but different helpdeskk is when you provide tech support over da phone for internal users regarding technology like ms etc, csr is when u provide tech support to customers regarding when their internet is broken. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1172814 | 2011-01-28 09:25:00 | Nah .. Cannot do telephone. It's a talking robot. I just cannot sit there and talk. Personality tests show it, telephone and me just don't match. Funny that, IT that for many the norm is helpdesk. Sounds like a cadet program. One fella booked a one way ticket to Melb cos he hates helpdesk. I just said that IT is IT, whereas some other jobs you may have more feedback to the company's direction. IT's just Mr Fix it or implement or maintain it. So he said IT is the janitor :D :pf1mobmini: |
