- Uncanny ability to talk your way out of any problem without having to actually solve it.
- Uncanny ability to play pranks!
- Can find humour even in the most unlikely of places
- Can drink a dozen beers and let out your true feelings without feeling sheepish the next day
- Can play the latest game before anybody else has even heard of it and brag how dumb the graphix are.

680465 2008-06-22 04:06:00 On a serious note.

A lot of larger corporate company's will not hire you without 'some' form of IT qualifications.

I personally have, MCSE (Windows 2000 track),MCP (NT4 track),Comptia A+,ITIL Base, and a few other MISC.

Personally I don't believe any of these qualifications are worth the paper they are printed on and experience is by far more valuable, however it does prove to some employers you are not a total cretonne, chances are the guy with the credentials will win out over the guy that doesn't.

You do not specifically have to keep qualifications up to date, it is well accepted many organisation will have migrated past Windows 2000 to XP/2003 Server for example and if you employed there you probably support those.

680466 2008-06-22 04:10:00 Also I find if you have somebody credible that can vouch for your working abilities (Ref) is a major boost in opinion. rob_on_guitar (4196)

-Keeping your temper when after cleaning out a porn box infested with malware, and setting in place lots of automated scans, the dweeb comes back and whinges about these annoying programs you've installed, and how he hates Firefox too.

reminds me of that old Dell technician one where the customer was eventually told they were too stupid to own a computer except I think the actuall transcript was around way before Dell was.

We just fired a guy who ruined a work pc surfing porn.
Infected work files and got his ass kicked!

So true - the question how do I avoid getting infected again.

The answer is normally install something a lot better than Nortons (Whinge - I paid for it - I'm not getting rid of it) Use Firefox with script/ad blocking addons (Whinge - I like IE! I'm used to it! FF seems to take longer to open!) Run decent anti-spyware applications (Whinge - But nortons does that!) and STOP LOOKING AT PORN!!!!!
