If you’ve ever wondered how to get into IT as a career, what kind of training you need to get a job, or how I first started learning about IT and got my first job in the field, this is the video for you! When I started my training in IT, I went to Control Data Institute, or CDI, in Southern California. I really applied myself, managed my time as best as possible, and really gained a lot of knowledge from going there back in the 80s.
In this video, I talk about my early training in IT, how I was able to study, manage my time, and get my first job in IT. I give tips on time management, how to balance what’s important, and how to kick off your own IT journey with a good attitude and determination. If I did it, you can do it too!
I believe that anyone can change their station in life, by including the habits and actions (some small, and some big), that lead them in the direction of their desires. I am living proof. Anyone can do it.

This was great! I've been in my first IT class for 10 weeks and never considered this as an option as a career. When I wanted to study more than I wanted to do anything else that was a big boost in confidence. Knowing what you want to do and loving it too, who could ask for anything else!? I completely agree, enthusiasm is a staple moving into anything new. If I hadn't been excited about it I would have quit weeks ago. So pumped for the next chapter and taking all those steps! Every one, counts.

can you talk about your experience with study fatigue? Im doing icnd1 right now and im getting tired of looking at labs and taking notes. I still do it but I was going it twice a day now I do it once and its takes a lot of effort. What are some study hacks I can do to keep the focus?
@KeithBarker
@KeithBarker 5 лет назад
Great question. Fatigue is a real thing, and not good. Some ideas that have worked for me are to have a clear goal of what I will do for study the next day (topic, book, video, lab, etc) and also eat well and get the amount of sleep needed to be effective at learning. Also, you can reward yourself by once tackling an objective for the day, if you complete it early, go ahead and identify what you want to cover the next day, and stop for the day! Sometimes by stepping away from a topic for a bit, gives the brain a chance to mull it over, and eventually truly "get it". Thanks for the comment and questions, and best of luck in your studies!

Lol, tell that to my boss who wants me to get 6 certs done in a year. But you're absolutely right, I remember the first time I tackled IPV6, I tried to rush it and I bombed, Once I slowed it down and took my time I was able to master it. Haste makes waste!!!

Hello and thanks for the question Saliha. I think the Cisco R/S CCNA and CCNP are a great foundation for anyone in IT. One secret is to take that knowledge, and then keep building on it based on the technical skills that are needed in the area you are it. Congratulations on the CCNA R/S.

hi Keith, how do you deal with Procastination?
@KeithBarker
@KeithBarker 4 года назад
Thank you for the question Jeremy. There are 3 techniques, and usually 1 of them will work. 1: identify how great it will be to get the thing done. imagine or visualize it and how great it will be, then start!!! 2: identify how terrible it will be if you don't do the thing. imagine or visualize all the horrible results, and then start!!! 3: don't think about it, just DO IT. Just start, and tell yourself you will go at it for at least 5 minutes, and chances are, you will feel more like continuing once you have started. Best wishes, and thanks for the question.
