| 1375020 | 2014-05-14 22:16:00 | I tried to get into IT when I was laid off a few years back, without any formal IT qualifications I didn't even get a response to my applications. I did sign up for some online courses but it turns out studying at home is not something I'm well suited to. I'm a qualified Telecommunications technician and have been (an am again) involved in installing broadband equipment for telcos & ISPs which you might consider an IT job but I work for a telecommunications contractor and it's not considered IT by the industry. I got my Job straight from School and went through 4 years of tech courses and company training courses to get qualified. Originally I was a post office then telecom employee until they were sold off and changed to a contracting model. I no longer work for that company but am doing essentially the same type of work for a different one. To sound like an even older bugger than I am back when I started it was a career you got and had for life and many of the older staff worked their entire career in the same job, these days if you get past the first year you are doing well. |
