What are the best resources to use?

Applied for 6 Jobs in the last 24 hours, but its like s..l..o..w. and want to try and find a way to speed it up

Both my brother in law and my brother now take home 100k/year and I am looking pretty piss pour compared to the rest of my family.

I am planning on studying info.sys and linguistics possibly next semester but my dads like 'only study what will make you money'

I am thinking of maybe just doing info.sys but well thing is IT Quals: you get them and then they are outdated not long after... i met a guy awhile ago who did comp.sci and like 5-8 years later it [uni course] was the equivelant of something you did in high school.

Then the easiest thing to do once u get one, is to go knocking on local businesses doors, for whatever u what to go into.

And see if they've got anything going.

537760 2007-04-02 20:31:00 Theres a common saying that also applies.. Its not what you know, its who you know.

Many doors can be open just by knowing someone in the industry

Other than that, time to go door-knocking

That is pretty normal. Find some places doing the style of work that your experienced in and offer to work for free (I got my first Mac op job that way). Ask friends, family. Start your own website (if you haven't already). Check out seek.co.nz Be patient, be persistent and keep looking.

537762 2007-04-03 10:19:00 PC Servicing Job Wanted On the North Shore - Auckland.. Does anyone know of any... potential spots?

Studied at Ames IT Training [PC Support] Got highest mark overall in the class for the COMPTIA Results and the tutor said he was going to check to see if it was the highest in the school but I left and didn't go to the graduation day, never heard how hi it placed for the school

Just kind of trying to get work, need to get my ass into gear and do something, mostly applied for web development positions in the last 2 days, but well... servicing work would be good to.

Anyone know of any Computer Shops which could do with someone extra to do servicing?

I partly do web development as well, but I really need to boost both up
