A Long Week
Last week I took off from writing due to taking my Core 2 A+ certification. I still have to retake my Core 1 (Passing is 675) but I did pass core 2 last Friday(Yea me!). I passed Core 2 by 47 points. (Passing is 700 points) Which If they would add those two scores up and used that for a passing or failing of A+ certification, I’d have my A+ but no I still have to take Core 1 again and pass that one. Anyway, the story of this is simple, don’t stop taking those test because you failed the first one. The Next test you might pass with flying colors.
Start of new Week
As you can see, We had a really busy start off my week. I found a pattern in Tickets that customers were submitting last week and started to look for the reason why. The simple reason is that Microsoft screwed up the old printer drivers due to the PrintNightmare Zero-Day. Along with that, I was told my job has ended and I wasn’t needed anymore. I personally think this was due to me not passing both tests and they didn’t want to worry about it down the road. It however isn’t a big deal anyways because it gives me more time to work on getting that Core 1 test done and studying even more to pass it.
Future Plans
This one still in the air and I’m sure I will find a job as a help desk technician or something similar. It’s not that I didn’t try to pass but it is just rotten luck. I am sure I’ll find a company who will want my unique skills and want to see me succeed. I am so ready to start my new career but it can still be difficult to get that first job to get the experience. Let me hear your experiences with getting that first job. Did it work out or did you have a difficult time like me getting your foot in the door to get the experience?
